If the loss of 3500 kcal is equal to a loss of 1.0 lb, how many days will it take charles to lose 5.0 lb

We are missing an important piece of information needed to answer this question: the number of kcal Charles losses per day. However, we can come up with a general equation in which kcal/day is the only independent variable.

We know that it takes 3500 kcal to lose one pound. To lose 5 pounds, Charles needs to lose 5 x 3500 kcal = 17,500 kcal. 

To find how many days it takes Charles to lose 17,500 kcal (5 pounds), we must divide that amount by the number of kcal Charles loses per day. 
Here is the equation to calculate that number

Number of days= 17500 / (kcal per day)

If given calories, remember that 1000 calories = 1 kcal, and .001 kcal = 1 cal

A particle in the first excited state of a one-dimensional infinite potential energy well (with U = 0 inside the well) has an en
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The energy of this particle in the ground state is E₁=1.5 eV.

Explanation:

The energy E_{n} of a particle of mass <em>m</em> in the <em>n</em>th energy state of an infinite square well potential with width <em>L </em>is:

                                                    E_{n}=\frac{n^{2}h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}

In the ground state (n=1). In the first excited state (n=2) we are told the energy is E₂= 6.0 eV. If we replace in the above equation we get that:

                                                    E_{1}=\frac{h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}            

                                                    E_{2}=\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}}

So we can rewrite the energy in the ground state as:

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}})

                                                      E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} E_{2}

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} ( 6.0\ eV)

Finally

                                                    E_{1}=1.5\ eV

During a hurricane, the atmospheric pressure inside a house may blow off the roof because of the reduced pressure outside. If ai
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

817.5 Pa

Explanation:

From Bernoulli's equation, considering thst there is no height difference then

P1+½d(v1)²=P2+½d(v2)²

P1-P2=½d(v2²-v1²)

∆P=½d(v2²-v1²)

Where P represent pressure, d is density and v is velocity. Subscripts 1 and 2 represent inside and outside. ∆P is tge change in pressure

Given the speed at roof top as 128 km/h, we convert it to m/s as follows

128*1000/3600=35.555555555555=35.56 m/s

Velocity at the bottom of roof is 0 m/s

Density is given as 1.293 kg/m³

∆P=½*1.293*(35.56²-0)=817.5 Pa

How can we use the balloon experiment to prove that air has weight (even though we cannot see air)?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The end of the meter stick with the deflated balloon should have risen into the air. ... The only way the balloon could have lost mass is if the air that was inside it has mass. With this experiment you have shown that air takes up space and has mass, so you have proven that air is matter.
