A person wants to lose weight by "pumping iron". The person lifts an 80 kg weight 1 meter. How many times must this weight be li

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

37357 sec

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Lifting weight 80 kg

1 cal = 4184 J

from information given in question we have

one lb fat consist of 3500 calories = 3500 x 4184 J

= 14.644 x 10^6 J

Energy burns in 1 lift = m g h

= 80 x 9.8 x 1 = 784 J

lifts required $= \frac{(14.644 x 10^6)}{784}$

= 18679

from the question,

1 lift in 2 sec.

so, total time = 18679 x 2 = 37357 sec

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Water evaporating from a pond does so as if it were diffusing across an air film 0.15 cm thick. The diffusion coefficient of wat

QveST [7]

Answer:

The water level will drop by about 1.24 cm in 1 day.

Explanation:

Here Mass flux of water vapour is given as

$j_{H_2O}=\frac{D}{l} \bigtriangleup c$

where

$j_{H_2O}$ is the mass flux of the water which is to be calculated.

D is diffusion coefficient which is given as $0.25 cm^2/s$

l is the thickness of the film which is 0.15 cm thick.
$\bigtriangleup c$ is given as

$\bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-P_a}{RT}$

In this

$P_{sat}$ is the saturated water pressure, which is look up from the saturated water property at 20°C and 0.5 saturation given as 2.34 Pa

$P_a$ is the air pressure which is given as 0.5 times of $P_{sat}$

R is the universal gas constant as $8.314 kJ/kmol-K$

T is the temperature in Kelvin scale which is $20+273= 293K$

By substituting values in the equation

$\bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-P_a}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-0.5P_{sat}}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{0.5P_{sat}}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{0.5 \times 2.34}{8.314 \times 293} \\\bigtriangleup c= 0.48 mol/m^3$

Converting $\bigtriangleup c$ into $cm^3/cm^3$

As 1 mole of water 18 $cm^3$ so

$\bigtriangleup c= 0.48 mol/m^3 \\ \bigtriangleup c= 0.48 \times 18 \times 10^{-6} cm^3/cm^3 \\ \bigtriangleup c= 8.64 \times 10^{-6} cm^3/cm^3$

Putting this in the equation of mass flux equation gives

$j_{H_2O}=\frac{D}{l} \bigtriangleup c \\ j_{H_2O}=\frac{0.25}{0.15} \times 8.64 \times 10^{-6} \\ j_{H_2O}=14.4 \times 10^{-6} cm/s$

For calculation of water level drop in a day, converting mass flux as

$j_{H_2O}=14.4 \times 10^{-6} \times 24 \times 3600 cm/day\\ j_{H_2O}=1.24 cm/day$

So the water level will drop by about 1.24 cm in 1 day.

A car travels 30 miles in 1 hour on a winding mountain road. Which of the following is a true statement?

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The true statement is:

"(C) The magnitude of the average velocity is equal to 30 m.p.h."

Explanation:

Given that a car travels 30 miles in 1 hour on a winding mountain road.

Let' check all the statements one by one:

(A) The magnitude of the total displacement is larger than the distance traveled.

Since the entire motion of the car is not exactly given in the question, so it is not possible to tell whether the magnitude of the total displacement is larger than the distance traveled or not.

Thus, this statement is not true.

(B) The magnitude of the average velocity is greater than 30 m.p.h.

The average velocity of an object is defined as the total displacement covered by the particle divided by the total time taken in covering that displacement.

Total distance covered by the car = 30 miles.

Total time taken by the car to cover this distance = 1 hour.

Therefore, the average velocity of the car for this time interval = $\rm \dfrac{30\ miles}{1\ hour }= 30\ m.p.h.$

Thus, this statement is also not true.

(C) The magnitude of the average velocity is equal to 30 m.p.h.

As is cleared in part (B) section above, the average velocity of the car in the given time interval is 30 m.p.h.

Thus, this statement is true.

(D)The magnitude of the average velocity is less than to 30 m.p.h.

Since. the average velocity of the car is 30 m.p.h.

Thus, this statement is not true.

(E)The car traveled with a constant speed of 30 m.p.h.

The motion of the car on the mountain road is not thoroughly given in the question, so again it is not possible to tell whether the car traveled with a constant speed of 30 m.p.h. or not.

Thus, this statement is also not true.

jek_recluse [69]

We know that the measure of an incident ray is: α 1 = 40°.
The index of refraction:
- for the air : n 1 = 1.00,
- for the water: n 2 = 1.33
Snell`s Law of Refraction :
n 1 · sin α 1 = n 2 · sin α 2
sin α 2 = n 1 · sin α 1 / n 2 =
= 1.00 · sin 40° / 1.33 = 0.64278 / 1.33 = 0.4833
α 2 = sin ^(-1) 0.4833
α 2 = 28.9 °
Answer: The angle relative to the water`s surface of the rays when beneath the surface is 28.9°.

Is velocity ratio of a machine affected by applying oil on it?Explain with reason.

disa [49]

Factors affecting friction

The intensity of friction depends on following factors: i) The area involved in friction. ii) The pressure applied on the surfaces. Force = Pressure ´ Area Frictional force will increase, if the area of contact will increase or if pressure applied on the surface increased.

Methods to reduce friction

i) Polish the contact surface. ii) Put oil or grease so that it fills in the small gaps of the flat parts. iii) Use ball bearings to reduce area of contact between rotating parts.

Lubrication

Following methods can be used to reduce friction: Oil is either thin or viscous. It depends upon SAE No. of oil. (SAE means Society of Automotive Engineers). If we use very viscous oil, it does not reach all the parts. Very thin oil will flows away easily and gets wasted. Grease is used in such cases. It is generally used around ball-bearing. Normal grease or oil is never used where there is high pressure, high temperature and high speed. Special lubricants are used in such cases. In cold season the oil becomes thick and in hot season it becomes thin. Therefore selection of lubrication also depends on the season. It is always advisable to refer operating manual of the equipment before selecting the lubricant.
