A pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3,500 Cal. When sleeping, the average adult burns expends

about 0.42 Cal/h for every pound of body weight.

Answer:

1166667hrs

Explanation:

1lb contains 3,500 Cal

There 140lb contains 3,500 × 140 = 490000cal

But he burns 0.42cal in 1 hour.

Therefore 490000cal will be burnt in 490000/0.42 = 1166667hrs to the nearest whole.

Answer: The system internal energy is 40 Joules.

Explanation: As suggested, the formula \Delta U = Q-W=(70-30)J = 40J should be used. 70 Joules worth of thermal energy are added, and the system does 30 Joules worth of work (energy expenditure).

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, when the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational
maksim [4K]

Answer:

<em>If the distance doubles, the gravitational force is divided by 4</em>

Explanation:

<u>Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation </u>

Objects attract each other with a force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

\displaystyle F=G{\frac {m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}}

Where:

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r     = distance between the objects' center of masses

G   = gravitational constant: 6.67\cdot 10^{-11}~Nw*m^2/Kg^2

If the distance between the interacting objects doubles to 2r, the new force F' is:

\displaystyle F'=G{\frac {m_{1}m_{2}}{(2r)^{2}}}

Operating:

\displaystyle F'=\frac{1}{4}G{\frac {m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}}

Substituting the original value of F:

\displaystyle F'=\frac{1}{4}F

If the distance doubles, the gravitational force is divided by 4

Is this a scientific model? Use complete sentences to explain why or why not.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

A scientific model is an activity that is aimed at making a specific part or feature easier to understand and define.

Modeling is an essential scientific discipline and is used in the fields of education. Modeling seems to represent empirical objects, phenomena in a logical and objective way.

The oval-shaped world map showing vegetation in green color is a 2D model of the entire earth and demarcates us the world vegetation distribution and growth.  

Hence this is a scientific model as its helps in visualizing the land surface of the earth on paper.

Explanation:

Yes because a scientific models doesn't have to be complex, just like this one
