Eating 2500 Cal every day a friend of mine maintains a stable weight of 70 kg. One day, after eating 3500 Cal, he decided to do

extra exercise to avoid gaining weight. He was doing jumps: he leaves the ground with a speed of 3.3m/s at every jump. Assuming that his body turns energy to mechanical work with a 25 % efficiency, how many jumps he will have to make

Answer:

2721

Explanation:

First, we find the change in calories

E = E(taken) - E(daily)

E = 3500 - 2500

E = 1000 cal

Next, we use the efficiency to find the available metabolic energy

E' = n.E, where n = efficiency

E' = 0.25 * 1000

E' = 250 cal

Converting this cal to J, we have

1 cal = 4.18 J

250 cal = 250 * 4.18 J

250 cal = 1045 kJ

Given that the final velocity is 0, we use equation of motion to find the height, h attained

u² = 2gh

h = u²/2g

h = 3.3² / 2 * 9.81

h = 10.89 / 19.62

h = 0.56 m

Potential energy, E = mgh

E = 70 * 9.8 * 0.56

E = 384 J

Total number of jumps, n =

n = 1045 / 384

n = 2721 jumps

is dimensionally correct relation necessarily to be a correct physical relation? explain with example.​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: hope it helps you...❤❤❤❤

Explanation: If your values have dimensions like time, length, temperature, etc, then if the dimensions are not the same then the values are not the same. So a “dimensionally wrong equation” is always false and cannot represent a correct physical relation.

No, not necessarily.

For instance, Newton’s 2nd law is  F=p˙ , or the sum of the applied forces on a body is equal to its time rate of change of its momentum. This is dimensionally correct, and a correct physical relation. It’s fine.

But take a look at this (incorrect) equation for the force of gravity:

F=−G(m+M)Mm√|r|3r  

It has all the nice properties you’d expect: It’s dimensionally correct (assuming the standard traditional value for  G ), it’s attractive, it’s symmetric in the masses, it’s inverse-square, etc. But it doesn’t correspond to a real, physical force.

It’s a counter-example to the claim that a dimensionally correct equation is necessarily a correct physical relation.

A simpler counter example is  1=2 . It is stating the equality of two dimensionless numbers. It is trivially dimensionally correct. But it is false.

Failures to arrive at an answer in a scientific investigation can still be useful because they show us what doesn't work. Answer

Please help. i'm horrible at science
Alla [95]

Answer:

7 s / 3600 s/hr = 0.001944444444... = 0.0019 hr

a = (vf - vi) / t = (70 - 0) / 0.0019 = 36000 km/hr²

For the radial speed of an astronomical object to be determined, what must the object’s spectrum contain?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Either absorption or emission lines

Explanation:

For the radial speed of an astronomical object to be determined with a Doppler shift, what must we be able to see in the object's spectrum, Either absorption or Emission lines.

Asorption and Emission line explained below;

  • Absorption lines are usually seen as dark lines, or lines of reduced intensity, on a continuous spectrum.
  • An emission line will appear in a spectrum if the source emits specific wavelengths of radiation.
