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 brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of a building. The brick strikes the ground in 1.90 s. You may ignore air

kozerog [31]

Answer:

h=17m

v=18.6 m/s

Explanation: The question can be solved by applying kinematic equations of motion

Data

u=0

a=g

t=1.9 secs

firstly to calculate the height

$s=ut+0.5at^2\\h=ut+0.5at^2\\h=0*1.9+0.5*9.81*1.9^2\\h=17.707 m$

to find the final velocity

$v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*1.9\\v=18.639$

The acceleration graph is straight line of equation y=9.8 as acceleration is constant:

Velocity graph is given by y=9.8x ( y as velocity and x as time):

Displacement graph is given by y=4.9x^2 ( x as time, y as displacement):

These graphs are only applicable from x=0 to x=1.9 ... ignore the other graph sections

A shot-putter exerts a force of 0.142 kN on a shot, accelerating it to 22.75 m/s2. What is the mass of the shot?

Svetach [21]

$\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}$

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Force and Power.

Since, according to the Newton's law,

Force = mass * Acceleration.

hence, here

Force = 142 N, accelration = 22.75 m/s2

hence, mass = 142/22.75

===> Mass = 6.24 Kg

hence the mass of the shot is 6.24 Kg

The seismic activity density of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area aff

Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.0059

Explanation:

According to the question the seismic activity density is given by

$\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{\text{Number of Earthquakes over a given time span}}{\text{The land area affected}}$

Here,

Number of Earthquakes over a given time span = 424

The land area affected = 71300 mi²

So,

$\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{424}{71300}\\\Rightarrow \text{Seismic activity density}=0.0059$

The seismic activity density is 0.0059

Explanation:

The position vector r:

$\overrightarrow{r(t)}=lcos\theta\hat{i}+lsin\theta\hat{j}$

The velocity vector v:

$\overrightarrow{v(t)}=\overrightarrow{\frac{dr}{dt}}=\dot{l}cos\theta-lsin\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{i}+\dot{l}sin\theta+lcos\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{j}$

The acceleration vector a:

$\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=cos\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)-sin\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})\hat{i}+cos\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})+sin\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)\hat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{v(t)}=0.13\hat{i}+0.18\hat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=-0.3\hat{i}-0.1\hat{j}$

How do Leeuwenhoek’s observations of animalcules compare to Hooke’s observations of cells in the cork?

fomenos

Answer:

Robert Hooke

Was the first to use the word "cell"

Observed cork cells

Anton van Leeuwenhoek

Observed "animalcules"

Used polished lens .

Explanation:

Anton van Leeuwenhoek is known as father of microbiology. He is credited to improve the quality of lens in microscope. His first observation of organisms called animalcules.

He is credited to have build microscope that could get magnified by 200 times. He used word animalcules for small organisms from pond water when first observed in microscope. He discovered protozoa and named it animalcules".

Robert Hooke is famed for discovering cell from a cork of plant. He observed a compartment or honey comb like divisions when observed these cork cells under the microscope and named it cell. He was only able to see the cell wall as the cork cells are dead cells.
