A 100 kg individual consumes 1200 kcal of food energy a day. Calculate

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

(a) 5142.86 m

(b) 317.5 m/s

Explanation:

m = 100 kg, Q = 1200 kcal = 1200 x 1000 x 4.2 = 504 x 10^4 J

(a) Let the altitude be h

Q = m x g x h

504 x 10^4 = 100 x 9.8 x h

h = 5142.86 m

(b) Let v be the speed

Q = 1/2 m v^2

504 x 10^4 = 1/2 x 100 x v^2

v = 317.5 m/s

Let the final temperature is T2.

Q = m x c x (T2 - T1)

504 x 10^4 = 100 x 4.1 x 1000 x (T2 - 37)

T2 = 49.3 degree C

A tiny object carrying a charge of +44 μC and a second tiny charged object are initially very far apart. If it takes 21 J of wor

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The magnitude of the second charge is $\rm 1.062\times 10^{-7}\ C$ or $\rm 0.1062\ \mu C.$

Explanation:

The work done in bringing a charged particle from one point to another in the presence of some electric field is equal to the change in the electric potential energy of the charge in moving from one point to another.

The electric potential energy of some charge $q_o$ at a point in the electric field of another charge $q$ is given by the product of the amount of charge $q_o$ and electric potential at that point due to the charge $q$ .

$U = q_o\ V.$

The electric potential at that point is given by

$V = \dfrac{kq}{r}.$

where $k$ is the Coulomb's constant.

Therefore,

$U=q_o\ \dfrac{kq}{r}.$

Now, We have given two charges $q_1 = +44\ \mu C = +44\times 10^{-6}\ C$ and $q_2$ , whose value is to be found.

When the two charges are infinitely dar apart, the electric potential energy of the system is given by

$U_i = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{\infty}=0.$

When the coordinates of position of the two charges are

$(x_1,\ y_1) = (1.00\ mm,\ 1.00\ mm).\\(x_2,\ y_2) = (1.00\ mm,\ 3.00\ mm).$

The distance between the two charges is given by

$r=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(1.00-1.00)^2+(3.00-1.00)^2}=2.00\ mm = 2.00\times 10^{-3}\ m.$

The electric potential energy of the charges in this configuration is given by

$U_f = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r}\\=\dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (+44\times 10^{-6})\times q_2}{2.00\times 10^{-3}}\\=1.9778\times 10^8\times q_2.$

The change in the electric potential energy of the system is equal to the work done to bring the system from inifinitely far apart position to given configuration.

Therefore,

$W = U_f-U_i\\21=(1.9778\times 10^8\times q_2)-0\\\Rightarrow q_2 = \dfrac{21}{1.9778\times 10^8}\\=1.062\times 10^{-7}\ C\\=0.1062\times 10^{-6}\ C\\=0.1062\ \mu C.$

If hot air rises then why is it cold in space please explain in detail thank you

Helen [10]

Hot air has a lower density than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore,it will rise.. The reason it is "cold" in the upper atmosphere is actually because of a lower air density.

Some minerals are evenly distributed around the planet, while other minerals are quite rare.

mote1985 [20]

it all depends on Region and how long they have been there some minerals crush faster then some others so some might only take a few thousand while others might take millions
