At least how many Calories does a mountain climber need in order to climb from sea level to the top of a 5.42 km tall peak assum

ing the muscles of the climber can convert chemical energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 16.0 percent. The total mass of the climber and the equipment is 78.4 kg. (Enter your answer as a number without units.)

Answer:

Ec = 6220.56 kcal

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount of Calories needed by the climber, you first have to calculate the work done by the climber against the gravitational force.

You use the following formula:

W_c=Mgh        (1)

Wc: work done by the climber

g: gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s^2

M: mass of the climber = 78.4 kg

h: height reached by the climber = 5.42km = 5420 m

You replace in the equation (1):

W_c=(78.4kg)(9.8m/s^2)(5420m)=4,164,294.4\ J     (2)

Next, you use the fact that only 16.0% of the chemical energy is convert to mechanical energy. The energy calculated in the equation (2) is equivalent to the mechanical energy of the climber. Then, you have the following relation for the Calories needed:

0.16(E_c)=4,164,294.4J

Ec: Calories

You solve for Ec and convert the result to Cal:

E_c=\frac{4,164,294.4}{016}=26,026,840J*\frac{1kcal}{4184J}\\\\E_c=6220.56\ kcal

The amount of Calories needed by the climber was 6220.56 kcal

An 7.5 × binocular has 3.7-cm-focal-length eyepieces. What is the focal length of the objective lenses? Express your answer to t
elixir [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of magnification, which is given as the relationship between the focal length of the eyepieces and the focal length of the objective. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as,

\mu = \frac{f_0}{f_e}

Here,

\mu = Magnification

f_e = Focal length eyepieces

f_0 = Focal length of the Objective

Rearranging to find the focal length of the objective

f_0 = \mu f_e

Replacing with our values

f_0 = 7.5* 3.7cm

f_0 = 27.75cm

Therefore the focal length of th eobjective lenses is 27.75cm

An airplane traveling at 201 m/s makes a turn. What is the smallest radius of the circular path (in km) that the pilot can make
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

the smallest radius of the circular path is 8.1 km

Explanation:

The computation of the smallest radius of the circular path is given below:

Given that

V = Velocity = 201 m/s

a_c = acceleration = 5 m/s^2

radius = ?

As we know that

a_c = V^2 ÷ r

5 = 201^2 ÷ r

r = 201^2 ÷ 5

= 8,080.2 g

= 8.1 km

Hence, the smallest radius of the circular path is 8.1 km
