A 92.6 kg weight-watcher wishes to climb a mountain to work off the equivalent of a large piece of chocolate cake rated at 735 (

food) Calories. How high must the person climb? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 and 1 food Calorie is 103 calories. Answer in units of km.

Answer:

349 m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of climber, m = 92.6 kg

Amount of food calories = 735

1 food calorie = 103 calories

735 food calories = 75705 calories

1 joule is equal to 0.239 calories. Therefore, 75705 calories will be 316749.72 joules.

Hence, this is the amount of work the climber must do work off the food he ate.

Work done is given as:

W = Force * distance

W = m * g * h

h = W/(m * g)

h = 316749.72/(92.6 * 9.8)

h = 349 m

A periodic wave travels from one medium to another. Which pair of variables are likely to change in the process? A. velocity and
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A. velocity and wavelength

Explanation:

  • When a wave travels from one medium to another it undergoes a change in direction and this is referred to as refraction.
  • Refraction is the bending of a wave or a change in direction of a wave as it travels from one medium to another. Refraction is accompanied by change in velocity and wavelength of a wave.
  • Velocity of a wave is proportional to the wavelength of the wave therefore, if the velocity of a wave changes the the wavelength will also change proportionally to the velocity.

dusya [7]
<span>When t=0, v=0, d=0 When t=tf, v=41m/s, d=3.5m We have 2 formulas – the ones corresponding to uniformly accelerated linear movement: vf=a*t+vo d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t Let’s put the data in the formulas: 41m/s=a*t+0=a*t 3.5m=(1/2)*a*t^2+0*t=1/2*a*t^2 You can use a variety of methods to find t and a. I will choose substitution. t=(41m/s)/a 3.5m=(1/2)*a*((41m/s)/a)^2=(1/2)*a*(41m/s)^2/a^2=(1/2)*(41m/s)^2/a a=(1/2)*(41m/s)^2/(3.5m)=(1/2)*41^2(m^2/s^2)/(3.5m) a=41^2(m/s^2)/( 2*3.5)=240m/s^2</span>
