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.

pashok25 [27]
I think the correct answer would be that the temperature of the clouds that made the very first stars where thought to be higher since the clouds are made up of hydrogen and helium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

How does energy and temperature affect the density of fluids (liquids and gases)?​
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: When a liquid or gas is heated, the molecules move faster, bump into each other, and spread apart. Because the molecules are spread apart, they take up more space. ... The molecules move more slowly and take up less space. Therefore temperature can affect density.

This is a velocity versus time graph of a car starting from rest. If the area under the line is 10 meters, what is the correspon
adelina 88 [10]

So the area under a velocity time graph is distance or displacement, if you have done calculus yet you will understand that if you take the integral of a velocity function then you end up with displacement. Thats for later understanding however.

So this appears to be a right triangle so we can find the area of a triangle as:

0.5bh = A

Since our area is 10 meters lets alter our formula a bit to fit the situation:

Our base here is time and our height is velocity so:

0.5tv = Δx

So we can read off the graph that our velocity at the end, or our final velocity appears to be near 2.0 m/s

So we have v, and Δx so lets isolate for time by dividing by v and 0.5

t = Δx / 0.5v

Now lets plug all that in:

t = 10 / 0.5(2)

t = 10 seconds

Hope this helped!

The decomposition of ammonia to the elements is a first-order reaction with a half-life of 200 s at a certain temperature. How l
Feliz [49]

Based on the half-life of the reaction, time taken for the partial pressure of ammonia to decrease from 0.100 atm to 0.00625 atm is 800 seconds.

<h3>What is the half-life of a substance?</h3>

The half-life of a substance is the time taken for half the amount of atoms present in that substance to decay.

The half-life of the reaction is 200 seconds.

After, one half-life, pressure reduces to 0.0500 atm

After, two half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.0250 atm

After, three half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.01250 atm

After, four half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.00625 atm

Time taken = 4 * 200 = 800 seconds

Therefore, time taken for the partial pressure of ammonia to decrease from 0.100 atm to 0.00625 atm is 800 seconds.

What are the four forms of matter that waves can travel through?
podryga [215]

Answer:

<em><u>It can be a solid, liquid, gas</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u>plasma</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u>etc</u></em><em><u>. When waves travel through a medium, the particles of the medium are not carried along with </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>wave</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>For example, water waves have to travel in water. Sound waves need a solid, a liquid or a gas to travel in.</u></em>
