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

List at least three factors that would cause an organism to migrate one habitat to another
GalinKa [24]

1. Escaping a predator – this increases its chances of survival. It could move to an area with low predator population

2. Finding food – food might get scarce in the current habitat and hence increased competition in the community. Finding another habitat with a higher availability food will increase survival

3. To find a mate/ to reproduce – reproduction in an intrinsic compulsion in all animals as a means to perpetuate their own gene. Solitary animals, such as the leopard, leave their habitat to find a mate and reproduce.

Why is the study of black holes important?
mariarad [96]
It's important because first, we might be able to understand further with how gravity works. And if we can harness the power that black hole possesses, which pulls everything in, then we might be able to use that power for a huge amount of energy, thus possibly replacing solar energy, fossil fuels, etc.,.

When I current is running through a coil of wire with an iron core what is created around the wire that is carrying the current?
pentagon [3]
B) A magnetic field is created around the wire.

This idea is one of the fundamental ideas of physics - an electric current has a magnetic field, whether it's moving through a wire or space.

Answer:

Nebula

Explanation:

 Given that in the constellation of Orion, you can see a group of stars and other objects that appear in the shape of a sword. Ln the middle of the sword, a bright "fuzzy star" appears. Astronomers looking at this object through telescopes refer to it as a "stellar nursery." Another name for this object is called NEBULA.

The space where new stars are forming anew is known as nebulae
