Eating 2500 Cal every day a friend of mine maintains a stable weight of 70 kg. One day, after eating 3500 Cal, he decided to do

extra exercise to avoid gaining weight. He was doing jumps: he leaves the ground with a speed of 3.3m/s at every jump. Assuming that his body turns energy to mechanical work with a 25 % efficiency, how many jumps he will have to make g

Answer:

Explanation:

Calories to be burnt = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 Cals .

Efficiency of conversion to mechanical work is 25 % .

Work needed to burn this much of Cals = 1000 x 100 / 25 = 4000 Cals.

4000 Cals = 4.2 x 4000 = 16800 J .

Work done in one jump = kinetic energy while jumping

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 70 x 3.3²

= 381.15 J .

Number of jumps required = 16800 / 381.15

= 44 .

answers Collision derivation problem. If the car has a mass of 0.2 kg, the ratio of height to width of the ramp is 12/75, the in

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

4.8967m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

M = 0.2kg

∆p = 0.58kgm/s

S(i) = 2.25m

Ratio h/w = 12/75

Firstly, we use conservation of momentum to find the velocity

Therefore, ∆p = MV

0.58kgm/s = 0.2V

V = 0.58/2

V = 2.9m/s

Then, we can use the conservation of energy to solve for maximum height the car can go

E(i) = E(f)

1/2mV² = mgh

Mass cancels out

1/2V² = gh

h = 1/2V²/g = V²/2g

h = (2.9)²/2(9.8)

h = 8.41/19.6 = 0.429m

Since we have gotten the heigh, the next thing is to solve for actual slant of the ramp and initial displacement using similar triangles.

h/w = 0.429/x

X = 0.429×75/12

X = 2.6815

Therefore, by Pythagoreans rule

S(ramp) = √2.68125²+0.429²

S(ramp) = 2.64671

Finally, S(t) = S(ramp) + S(i)

= 2.64671+2.25

= 4.8967m

A 20 watt lightbulb uses 20 Joules of energy every second.A person expends 50 watts of energy per stair when climbing up stairs.

Pachacha [2.7K]

20W = 20 J/s

Energy expended during climbing stairs = 50 W of energy/stair = 50J/stair

For 20 stairs, Total energy = 50x20 = 1000 J

This can light bulbs for, T= 1000J/20 J/s =50 seconds

A small rock is launched straight upward from the surface of a planet with no atmosphere. The initial speed of the rock is twice

Scorpion4ik [409]

If gravitational effects from other objects are negligible, the speed of the rock at a very great distance from the planet will approach a value of $\sqrt{3} v_{e}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To express velocity which is too far from the planet and escape velocity by using the energy conservation, we get

Rock’s initial velocity , $v_{i}=2 v_{e}$ . Here the radius is R, so find the escape velocity as follows,

$\frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=0$

$\frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}=\frac{G M m}{R}$

$v_{e}^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}$

$v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}$

Where, M = Planet’s mass and G = constant.

From given conditions,

Surface potential energy can be expressed as, $U_{i}=-\frac{G M m}{R}$

R tend to infinity when far away from the planet, so $v_{f}=0$

Then, kinetic energy at initial would be,

$k_{i}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{i}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}$

Similarly, kinetic energy at final would be,

$k_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}$

Here, $v_{f}=\text { final velocity }$

Now, adding potential and kinetic energies of initial and final and equating as below, find the final velocity as

$U_{i}+k_{i}=k_{f}+v_{f}$

$\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}+0$

$\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}$

'm' and $\frac{1}{2}$ as common on both sides, so gets cancelled, we get as

$4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{2 G M}{R}=v_{f}^{2}$

We know, $v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}$ , it can be wriiten as $\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}$ , we get

$4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=v_{f}^{2}$

$v_{f}^{2}=3\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}$

Taking squares out, we get,

$v_{f}=\sqrt{3} v_{e}$
