Human can produce a maximum mechanical power of 1/3 hp (horse-power).

Horse power is a unit of power, it equals 746 watt (watt is also a power unit, known to be equal to a joule per second)


So:

1 ph = 746 watt = 746 J/s

1/3 ph = 248.6 J/s

we're looking for the calories, so

1 joule = 0.239006 calories


So human produce a maximum mechanical power of:

248.6 J/s = 82.88 calories per second.


We're looking for the number of calories consumed in three hours, so:

82.88 cal/s = 82.88 cal/s * 3600 s * 3 = 895200 calories = 895.2 kilocalories (food calories).


The number of food calories is 895.2 food calories

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The answer is 97%.

Explanation:

The zika virus' 1% incidence rate in the population has no effect over the probability of the patient being infected or not. If the test has a 3% false positive rate that means that if it is positive, the results have a 97% chance of being true. Therefore the chance that the person who took the test and had a positive result being actually infected is 97%.

I hope this answer helps.

suter [353]

Answer:

C: autocrine

Explanation:

There are three types of hormones according to where their target cells are.

  • Endocrine: Their target cells are distributed far and they travel via blood to reach the target cells.
  • Paracrine: Their target cells are often their neighbors so they often diffuse to reach them
  • Autocrine: Their secretion acts on themselves. Hence they are their own targets.
