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 3.1-kilogram gun initially at rest is free to

The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.

Find the minimum radius of a helium balloon that will lift her off the ground. the density of helium gas is 0.178 kg/m3, and the
marysya [2.9K]

Volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Where r is the radius of balloon.

Here mass of woman = 68 kg

Mass of air displaced by a balloon with volume V = 1.29*V

Mass of helium inside balloon = 0.178*V

Total mass to be lifted by balloon = 68 +0.178*V

Buoyant force = 1.29V-0.178V=1.112V

So we have 1.112 V =  68+ 0.178*V

   0.934 V = 68

     V = 72.81 m^3

    \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]= 72.81

     r = 2.59 m

So radius of helium balloon = 2.59 m

Can a light bulb work without energy transfer.
Scrat [10]

Answer:Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be stored, or it can be transferred i.e. from a hot object to a cool object by conduction, convection or radiation.
