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

During the 440, a runner changes his speed as he comes out of the curve onto the home stretch from 18 ft/sec to 38 ft/sec over a
Sloan [31]

Answer:

6.67ft/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=18ft/s

Final velocity,v=38ft/s

Time=t=3 s

We have to find the average acceleration over that 3 s period.

We know that

Average acceleration,a=\frac{v-u}{t}{t}

Using the formula

Average acceleration,a=\frac{38-18}{3}ft/s^2

Average acceleration,a=\frac{20}{3}ft/s^2

Average acceleration,a=6.67ft/s^2

Hence, the average acceleration=6.67ft/s^2

What is the tangential velocity at the edge of a disk of radius 10cm when it spins with a frequency of 10Hz? Give your answer wi
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

630cm/s

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion, the tangential velocity is expressed mathematically as v = ὦr

ὦ is the angular velocity = 2πf

r is the radius of the disk

f is the frequency

Given the radius of disk = 10cm

frequency = 10Hz

v = 2πfr

v = 2π×10×10

v = 200π

v = 628.32 cm/s

The tangential velocity = 630cm/s ( to 2 significant figures)

If you're ever standing on a mountaintop when a dark cloud passes overhead and your hair stands up, get off the mountain fast. H
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The hairs would have acquired charge by the passing of dry winds resulting in the loss of electron.

Explanation:

While standing on the top of a mountain if a person gets its hairs stand up after a cloud passes over, this might happen due to the static electric charges on the lower surface of the cloud  are opposite in nature to that of hairs which the hairs would have acquired by the passing of dry winds which would have resulted in the loss of electron from the hair tip.

Similar case happens when we rub a dry plastic ruler or a dry plastic comb on our hairs.

The atomic number of beryllium (Be) is 4, and the atomic number of barium (Ba) is 56. Which comparison is best supported by this
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The answer is:

B)They are in the same group because they have similar chemical properties, but they are in different periods because they have very different atomic numbers.

The explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.

A period is a horizontal row of elements on the periodic table. For example, the elements sodium ( Na ) and magnesium ( Mg ) are both in period 3. The elements astatine ( At ) and radon ( Rn ) are both in period 6.
