A less than youthful 82.6 kg physics professor decides to run the 26.2 mile (42.195 km) Los Angeles Marathon. During his months

of training, he realizes that one important component in running a successful marathon is carbo-loading, the consumption of a sufficient quantity of carbohydrates prior to the race that the body can store as glycogen to burn during the race. The typical energy requirement for runners is 1 kcal/km per kilogram of body weight, and each mole of oxygen intake allows for the release of 120 kcal of energy by oxidizing (burning) glycogen.
(a) If the professor finishes the marathon in 4:45:00 h, what is the professor's oxygen intake rate, in liters per minute, during the race if he metabolizes all of the carbo-loaded glycogen during the race and the ambient temperature is 21.5°C? 2.28 Read the problem statement again carefully. Is the air at standard temperature and pressure during the marathon? How would this affect the volume of 1 mol of oxygen? L/min
(b) The human body has an efficiency of 25.0%. Only 25.0% of the energy released from oxidizing glycogen is used as macroscopic mechanical energy, and the remaining 75.0% is used for body processes such as pumping blood and respiration, and then leaves the body through the skin via radiation, evaporative cooling, and other processes. What is the average mechanical power (in W) generated by the professor during the run? 197.561 What is the total energy required by the professor during the run? How efficient is the human body, and how long did the race last? W
(c) What is the change in entropy (in J/K) of the professor's body if his core temperature has risen to 38.3°C during the run and his skin temperature is at 36.0°C during the marathon? J/K
(d) What is the change of the entropy (in J/K) of the air surrounding the professor during the race if the ambient temperature remains constant at 21.5°C? J/K

estion: Why is it important to use vector quantities and not just scalar quantities to describe the motion of an object? Vector
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

Cables and conductors installed on the side of a pole or building shall be protected up to ___feet above finished grade.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

10 feet.

Explanation:

Conductors are considered outside the building when they installed. The requirement of NEC is above 10 feet for the clearance after the final grade for service conductors and cables where they are connected with the building, above the sidewalks and the to other areas which are accessible to the pedestrians.
