It is estimated that 1kg of body fat will provide 3.8 * 10^7 J of energy. A 67kg mountain climber decides to climb a mountain 35

00 m high how much work is done by gravity on the climber for the trip up to the top of the mountain

During a climb UP the mountain, gravity does NO work on the climber.
Actually, it's more correct to say that gravity does NEGATIVE work
on him.  The climber has to DO the positive work to haul himself up.
  
                     Work = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

For the guy in this problem:

                     Work = (67 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3,500 meters)

                             =  2,298,100 joules.

If he eats no candy bars on the way, and completely depends on
his stored body fat for the energy, then he'll burn off

                       (2,298,100 joules) / (3.8 x 10⁷ joules/kg)

                   =          0.06 kg of fat.

That's only about 2.1 ounces.  We KNOW he'll lose more weight than that,
climbing 11,000 feet.  That's because climbing is pretty inefficient. 
In addition to the potential energy you have to give your body weight,
you also have to expend energy breathing, digesting, metabolizing,
and sweating.

A small airplane takes on 302 l of fuel. If the density of the fuel is 0.821 g/ml, what mass of fuel has the airplane taken on?
ella [17]

To calculate the mass of the fuel, we use the formula

m = V \times  \rho

Here, m is the mass of fuel, V is the volume of the fuel and its value is V =302 \ L =  302 \ L \times \frac{10^{3}m L }{L} = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL and  \rho is the density and its value of  0.821 g/mL.

Substituting these values in above relation, we get  

m = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL \times 0.821 g/mL = 247942 g \\\\ m = 247. 94 \ kg

Thus, the mass of the fuel 247 .94 kg.

Two blocks with different temperatures had entropies of 10 J/K and 30 J/K before they were brought in contact. What can you say
True [87]

Answer:

a. Ssystem  > 40 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

The entropy of first block = 10 J/K

The entropy of second block = 30 J/K

When two bodies come into contact with each other, the entropy of the combined system will increase and the entropy sum remains unchanged: According to the Second law of thermodynamics.The entropy of the system will be greater than 40  J/K.

Therefore the answer is a.

Ssystem  > 40 J/K
