In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, they should take the watch apart and test the mechanism to see what causes failure.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

For dropping a similar watch to record results, we need to buy another one. So, it becomes expensive. And, calling the manufacturer will give accurate results, but no knowledge. It is like getting multiple choices by luck.

Consulting senior faculty won’t result in any progress, because they may not have conducted these. So, one should rip off the watch, and study the mechanism, and its limitations.  The testing of mechanism gives the actual results.

Answer: B) Drop a similar watch multiple times and record the results.

Explanation:

In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, investigators must drop a similar watch multiple times and record the results. By doing this and repeatedly getting the same result(s), they are able to determine that their answer is in fact true.

A simple pendulum has length of 820mm. Calculate the frequency (g = 9.8 ms -2)<br>​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf f=0.55 \ Hz}

Explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Length = l = 820 mm = 0.82 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 ms⁻²

<u>Required:</u>

Frequency = f = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }

<u>Solution:</u>

\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\Put\ the\ givens\\\\f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.82} }\\\\ f = 0.159 \times \sqrt{11.95} \\\\f=0.159 \times 3.457\\\\f=0.55 \ Hz\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

A car moves in a straight line at 22.0 m/s for 10.0miles, then at 30.0 m/s for another 10.0miles. Calculate the car’s average sp
maw [93]

Answer: 25.38 m/s

Explanation:

We have a straight line where the car travels a total distance D, which is divided into two segments d=10 miles:

D=d+d=2d (1)

Where d=10mi \frac{1609.34 m}{1 mi}=16093.4 m

On the other hand, we know speed is defined as:

S=\frac{d}{t} (2)

Where t is the time, which can be isolated from (2):

t=\frac{d}{S} (3)

Now, for the first segment d=16093.4 m the car has a speed S_{1}=22m/s, using equation (3):

t_{1}=\frac{d}{S_{1}} (4)

t_{1}=\frac{16093.4 m}{22m/s} (5)

t_{1}=731.518 s (6) This is the time it takes to travel the first segment

For the second segment d=16093.4 m the car has a speed S_{1}=30m/s,  hence:

t_{2}=\frac{d}{S_{2}} (7)

t_{2}=\frac{16093.4 m}{30m/s} (8)

t_{2}=536.44 s (9) This is the time it takes to travel the secons segment

Having these values we can calculate the car's average speed S_{ave}:

S_{ave}=\frac{d + d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}=\frac{2d}{t_{1} + t_{2}} (10)

S_{ave}=\frac{2(16093.4 m)}{731.518 s +536.44 s} (11)

Finally:

S_{ave}=25.38 m/s

Energy is conventionally measured in Calories as well as in joules. One Calorie in nutrition is one kilocalorie, defined as 1 kc
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a) The student must run flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat 709.5 times.

b) Average power

P(w)= 1062.07 [w]

P(hp)=1.42 [hp]

c) This activity is highly unpractical, because the high amount of repetitions he has to due in order to lose, just 1 Kg of fat.

Explanation:

First, lets consider the required amount of work to move the mass of the student. (considering running stairs just as a vertical movement)

Work:

W= F*d= m*g*d

Where m is the mass of the student, g is gravity (9.8 m/s) and d is the total distance going up the stairs (0.15m *85steps= 12.75m )

W= F*d= m*g*d=85* 9.8*12.75=10620.75 [J]

Converting from Joules to Kcals:

\frac{10620.75}{4186} =2.537 Kcal

Now lets take into account the efficiency of the human body (20%)

2.537 ---> 20%

 x       ---> 100%

x=\frac{2.537*100}{20} =12.685

So the student is consuming 12.685 KCals each time he runs up the stairs.

Now,

1 g --> 9 Kcals

1000 g --> 9000KCals

Burning 1 g of fat, requieres 9 KCals, 1000g burns 9000KCals. So in order to burn a 1Kg of fat:

\frac{9000Kcals}{12.685Kcals} =709.5 times

He must run up the stairs 709.5 times, to burn 1 Kg of fat.

********************

For b) just converting units, taking into account the time lapse. (53103.75 is the 100% of the energy in joules, from converting 12.685Kcals to joules)

Power=\frac{Joules}{Seconds} =\frac{53103.75}{50} =1062.075 [W]\\

P(hp)=\frac{P(w)}{745.7} =\frac{1062.075}{745.7} =1.42[hp]
