How many days of a diet of 1910 large calories are equivalent to the gravitational energy change from sea level to the top of Mo

unt Everest, 8848 m above sea level? Assume your mass is 53 kg. (The body is not anywhere near 100% efficient in converting chemical energy into change in altitude. Also note that this is in addition to your basal metabolism.)

Answer:

0.58 days is needed

Explanation:

Gravitational energy change from a height change equal to 8848 m for a mass of 53 kg is:

m*g*h = 53*9.81*8848 = 4600340.64 J = 4600.34 kJ

4.184 kJ are equivalent to 1 kcal, then:

4.184 kJ / 4600.34 kJ = 1 kcal / x kcal

x = 4600.34/4.184

x = 1099.5 kcal or large calories

The diet is 1910 kcal/day, then you need 1099.5/1910 = 0.58 days

Let this oscillator have the same energy as a mass on a spring, with the same k and m, released from rest at a displacement of 5
allochka39001 [22]
There are a lot of same examples that you may have worked before, where the mass on a spring uses a classics when it comes to mechanics. So in this system, always put in your mind that there is an enormous quantum standard that one can use in the equation. It should be 2.10x10 raise to a negative sixth. J.

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v(initial). At t=0 the car
kogti [31]

Answer:

t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}

t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}

Δd = v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i

Explanation:

As v(t) = v_i + at, when the car is making full stop, v(t_1) = 0 . a = -a_i . Therefore,

0 = v_i - a_it_1\\v_i = a_it_1\\t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}

Apply the same formula above, with v(t_2) = v_i and a = a_i, and the car is starting from 0 speed,  we have

v_i = 0 + a_it_2\\t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}

As s(t) = vt + \frac{at^2}{2}. After t = t_1 + t_2, the car would have traveled a distance of

s(t) = s(t_1) + s(t_2)\\s(t_1) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2})\\ s(t_2) = \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}

Hence s(t) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2}) + \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}

As t_1 = t_2 we can simplify s(t) = v_it_1

After t time, the train would have traveled a distance of s(t) = v_i(t_1 + t_2) = 2v_it_1

Therefore, Δd would be 2v_it_1 - v_it_1 = v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i

What will happen to the volume if the temperature of the gas is increased?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The volume of the gas increases as the temperature increases. As temperature increases, the molecules of the gas have more kinetic energy. therefore it increases! Hope this helps you!
