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

1 answer:

4 0

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 single-turn current loop carrying a 4.00 A current, is in the shape of a right-angle triangle with sides of 50.0 cm, 120 cm, a

pantera1 [17]

Given that,

Current = 4 A

Sides of triangle = 50.0 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm

Magnetic field = 75.0 mT

Distance = 130 cm

We need to calculate the angle α

Using cosine law

$120^2=130^2+50^2-2\times130\times50\cos\alpha$

$\cos\alpha=\dfrac{120^2-130^2-50^2}{2\times130\times50}$

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(0.3846)$

$\alpha=67.38^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle β

Using cosine law

$50^2=130^2+120^2-2\times130\times120\cos\beta$

$\cos\beta=\dfrac{50^2-130^2-120^2}{2\times130\times120}$

$\beta=\cos^{-1}(0.923)$

$\beta=22.63^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the force on 130 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{130}=ILB\sin\theta$

$F_{130}=4\times130\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin0$

$F_{130}=0$

We need to calculate the force on 120 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{120}=ILB\sin\beta$

$F_{120}=4\times120\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin22.63$

$F_{120}=0.1385\ N$

The direction of force is out of page.

We need to calculate the force on 50 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{50}=ILB\sin\alpha$

$F_{50}=4\times50\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin67.38$

$F_{50}=0.1385\ N$

The direction of force is into page.

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic force on each of the three sides of the loop are 0 N, 0.1385 N and 0.1385 N.

The wavelength of light is 5000 angstrom. Express it in nm and m.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1 angstrom = 0.1nm

5000 angstrom = 5000/1 × 0.1nm

$1 \: angstrom = 1 \times {10}^{ - 10} m$

5000 angstrom = 5000 × 1 × 10^-10

The young tree was bent and has been brought into a vertical position by the three guy cables. If tension at AB = 0, AC = 10 lb,

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The young tree, originally bent, has been brought into the vertical position by adjusting the three guy-wire tensions to AB = 7 lb, AC = 8 lb, and AD = 10 lb. Determine the force and moment reactions at the trunk base point O. Neglect the weight of the tree.
