The food calorie, equal to 4186J , is a measure of how much energy is released when food is metabolized by the body. A certain b

rand of fruit-and-cereal bar contains 140 food calories per bar.If a 69.0kg hiker eats one of these bars, how high a mountain must he climb to "work off" the calories, assuming that all the food energy goes only into increasing gravitational potential energy?
If, as is typical, only 20.0% of the food calories go into mechanical energy, what would be the answer to part (a)?

<h2>The hiker will go up to 850 m on the hill</h2>

Explanation:

The total energy gained  by the hiker = 140 x 4186 J

This energy is consumed in the potential energy acquired , while climbing up the hill.

The potential energy P.E = mass of hiker x acceleration due to gravity x height

Thus

140 x 4186 = 69 x 10 x h

or h = \frac{4186x140}{69x10}  = 850 m

If the 20% of the total energy is used

the height h₀ = \frac{0.2x4186x140}{69x10} = 170 m

Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

When the positively charged half shell is brought in contact with the electroscope, its needle deflects due to charge present on the shell.

When the negatively charged half shell is brought in contact with the positively charged shell , the positive and negative charge present on each shell neutralises each other  .So both the shells lose their charges .The positive half shell also loses all its charges

When we separate the half shells , there will be no deflection  in the electroscope because both the shell have already lost their charges and they have become neutral bodies . So they will not be able to produce any deflection in the electroscope.

Which is NOT a "commonsense" psychological myth?
disa [49]

Answer:A. infants who listen to Mozart are smarter than those that don't.

Explanation: Common Sense is a sound practical judgement of the scheme of things, it can be easily understood as one thinks about life situation.

All other options such as MOST OLDER PEOPLE LIVE SAD AND SOLITARY LIVES ARE CORRECT AS THEY ARE KNOWN TO BE MORE LIKELY TO FALL SICK EASILY.

EATING "COMFORT FOOD" MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPIER IS KNOWN TO BE TRUE AND "COMMONSENSE"

UNLEASHING ANGER CAN MAKE YOU MORE AGGRESSIVE IS A "COMMONSENSE".

only the first option which says infants who listen to Mozart are smarter than those that don't listen to Mozart is not a "commonsense" psychological myth.
