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

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission
Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.

A Young's interference experiment is performed with blue-green laser light. The separation between the slits is 0.500 mm, and th
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

λ = 5.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 520 nm

Explanation:

From Young's Double Slit Experiment, we know the following formula for the distance between consecutive bright fringes:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = fringe spacing = distance of 1st bright fringe from center = 0.00322 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 3.1 m

d = Separation between slits = 0.0005 m

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

0.00322 m = λ(3.1 m)/(0.0005 m)

λ = (0.00322 m)(0.0005 m)/(3.1 m)

<u>λ = 5.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 520 nm</u>

A wheel at rest gains an angular momentum of 10.7kgm²/s in 8s. if the moment if inertia of the wheel is 2.2kgm², how many revolu
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Revolutions made before attaining angular velocity of 30 rad/s:

θ = 3.92 revolutions

Explanation:

Given that:

L(final) = 10.7 kgm²/s

L(initial) = 0

time = 8s

<h3>Find Torque:</h3>

Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum:

T = \frac{L(final)-L(initial)}{t}\\T = \frac{10.7-0}{8}\\T=1.34 Nm

<h3>Find Angular Acceleration:</h3>

We know that

T = Iα

α = T/I

where I = moment of inertia = 2.2kgm²

α = 1.34/2.2

α = 0.61 rad/s²

<h3>Find Time 't'</h3>

We know that angular equation of motion is:

ω²(final) = ω²(initial) +2αθ

(30 rad/s)² = 0 + 2(0.61 rad/s²)θ

θ = (30 rad/s)²/ 2(0.61 rad/s²)

θ = 24.6 radians

Convert it into revolutions:

θ = 24.6/ 2π

θ = 3.92 revolutions
