Bicyclists in the Tour de France do enormous amounts of work during a race. For example, the average power per kilogram generate

d by Lance Armstrong (m = 75.0 kg) is 6.50 W per kilogram of his body mass.
(a) How much work does he do during a 160-km race in which his average speed is 11.0 m/s?

(b) Often, the work done is expressed in nutritional Calories rather than in joules. Express the work done in part (a) in terms of nutritional Calories, noting that 1 joule = 2.389x10^-4 nutritional Calories.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Average power per unit mass generated by Lance, \dfrac{P}{m}=6.5\ W/kg

P=6.5\times 75=487.5\ W

(a) Distance to cover race, d = 160\ km =160\times 10^3\ m

Average speed of the person, v = 11 m/s

If t is the time taken to cover the race.

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{160\times 10^3\ m}{11\ m/s}

t = 14545.46 s

Let W is the work done. The relation between the work done and the power is given by :

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

W=P\times t

W=487.5\times 14545.46

W = 7090911.75 J

(b) Since, 1\ J=2.389\times 10^{-4}\ calories

So, in 7090911.75 J, W=7090911.75 \times 2.389\times 10^{-4}

W = 1694.01 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

laser light hits two very narrow slits that are separated by 0.1mm adn is viewwed on a screen 2m downstream. Sketch on the axis
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

 d y / x = m λ

Explanation:

When the laser beam, which is a coherent light, hits the slits, part of each beam passes through each slit.

When this is observed on a screen that is quite far from the slits, a series of intense linear separated by dark areas. The explanation for this distribution of the light pattern is that when adding the rays that come out of the slits they travel different distances, which introduces a difference in optical path and if this difference is an integer multiple of the wavelength, a bright line

                d sin θ = m λ

Where d is the distance between the slits (0.1 mm)

Also, since the angle of the measurements is small, we can approximate the tangent

          tan θ = y / x = sin θ /sin θ

          sint θ = y / x

Substituting into the equation

          d y / x = m λ

This expression gives the location of the bright lines on the screen

What is the difference between arteries and artiole?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The answer is down below

Explanation:

Las arterias transportan la sangre desde el corazón y se ramifican en vasos más pequeños, formando arteriolas. Las arteriolas distribuyen sangre a los lechos capilares, los lugares de intercambio con los tejidos corporales. Los capilares conducen de regreso a pequeños vasos conocidos como vénulas que fluyen hacia las venas más grandes y finalmente regresan al corazón.

Which statements describe velocity and acceleration? Check all that apply.
Tom [10]

Velocity is defined by rate of change in the position

which we can also write as

v = \frac{ds}{dt}

while acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

so acceleration and velocity both are rate of change in position and rate of change in velocity with respect to time respectively

out of all above statement the correct answer must be

<u>Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by time. </u>

Describe how you expect the waveform and the sound you hear changes when you hit the tuning fork harder.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

In a tuning fork, two basic qualities of sound are considered, they are

1) The pitch of the waveform: This pitch depends on the frequency of the wave generated by hitting the tuning fork.

2) The loudness of the waveform: This loudness depends on the intensity of the wave generated by hitting the tuning fork.

Hitting the tuning fork harder will make it vibrate faster, increasing the number of vibrations per second. The number of vibration per second is proportional to the frequency, so hitting the tuning fork harder increase the frequency. From the explanation on the frequency above, we can say that by increasing the frequency the pitch of the tuning fork also increases.

Also, hitting the tuning fork harder also increases the intensity of the wave generated, since the fork now vibrates faster. This increases the loudness of the tuning fork.
