A 68 kg hiker walks at 5.0 km/h up a 9% slope. The indicated incline is the ratio of the vertical distance and the horizontal di

stance expressed as percentage.
What is the necessary metabolic power?

The formula used to calculate power is:

Power = Work / Time

Where Work is defined as Force multiplied by Distance, hence:

Power = Force * Distance / Time

This can also be expressed as:

Power = Force * Velocity<span>


Converting the velocity from km/h to m/s:</span>

Velocity = (5 km / h) (1000 m / km) (1 h / 3600 s)<span>
Velocity = 1.39 m/s 

</span>

The calculated force corresponds to the vertical component of the hiker's weight:

Force = Wy * g = W * sin θ * g

 

To find the angle θ, we utilize the slope, which is defined as:

slope = tan θ = ratio of vertical to horizontal distance

tan θ = 0.09

θ = 5.14˚

Thus, we have Force = 68 kg * sin(5.14˚) * 9.8 m/s²<span>
Force = 666.4 * sin(5.14) = 59.73 N 

</span>

<span>Now, let's compute the power:
<span>Power = 59.73 N * 1.39 m/s = 82.96 W
Given the hiker's efficiency is at 25%, we can find the metabolic power: 
<span>Metabolic Power = 82.96 W / 0.25 = 331.83 watts </span></span></span>

Water flows without friction vertically downward through a pipe and enters a section where the cross sectional area is larger. T
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

v_{2} will be less than v_{1} and P_{2} will be greater than P_{1}.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that the rate of fluid mass (m_{1}) entering a system equals the rate at which the fluid mass (m_{2}) exits the system.

The mass flow rate can be expressed as follows:

m = \rho A v

where \rho denotes the fluid density, A signifies the cross-sectional area through which fluid flows, and v represents the fluid's velocity.

Based on the problem conditions, as the fluid's density remains constant, we can write:

&& m_{1} = m_{2}\\&or,& \rho A_{1} v_{1} = \rho A_{2} v_{2}\\&or,& \dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}

where A_{1} and A_{2} are the cross-sectional areas for the fluid flow, while v_{1} and v_{2} are the corresponding velocities across those areas.

Given the conditions in the problem, A_{2} > A_{1}, leading from the formula to v_{2} < v_{1}.

Furthermore, fluid pressure arises from the fluid's movement through any specific area. When the fluid accelerates, part of its energy increases its speed in the direction of flow, resulting in lower pressure.

Thus, in this instance, v_{2} < v_{1} the pressure in the larger cross-sectional area P_{2} will exceed the pressure P_{1} in the smaller cross-sectional area, implying

P_{2} > P_{1}.

One day you are driving your friends around town and you drive quickly around a corner without slowing down. You are going at a
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Result:

1.60 g

Elucidation:

Based on the attached document:

we can infer that:

v = v_x =v_y = 20 \ m/s \\t = 2s

The distance covered in 2 seconds will be:

x = vt

x = 20 m/s × 2 s

x = 40 m

The segment corresponds to a quarter of a circle with radius r,

therefore, if 2 πr = 4 x

Then the radius (r) can be calculated as:

r = \frac{4x}{2 \pi}\\\\r = \frac{4*40}{2 \pi}

r = 25.5 m

Centripetal acceleration can be expressed as:

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

thus;

a = \frac{(20 \ m/s^2)}{25.5 \ m}

a = 15.7 m/s²

The acceleration magnitude suffered by your passengers in relation to the acceleration due to gravity can be calculated using:

a' = \frac{a}{g} g

a' = \frac{15.7 \m/s ^2}{9.81 \ m/s^2}\ g

a' = 1.60 \ g

∴ The acceleration magnitude experienced by your passengers while turning = 1.60 g

Softa [3030]

Answer:

  v = 54.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can utilize conservation of energy to solve this issue.

Initial condition Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

Final condition. Lower

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = 2gh

         v = √ (2gh)

Now let's perform the calculation

         v = √ (2 * 9.8 * 150)

         v = 54.2 m/s

Two large insulating parallel plates carry charge of equal magnitude, one positive and the other negative, that is distributed u
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The correct choice is C: points 1, 4, and 5 are equal, followed by 2 and 3 being equal.

Explanation:

Here’s the breakdown:

The electric field from the positive sheets E₁ = б/2E₀

E₂ is from the negative sheet = -б/2E₀

At points 1, 4, and 5, the electric fields created by the sheets oppose each other.

At point 1, the total field is calculated as -E₁ + E₂ = 0.

Similarly, at point A, the total field results in -E₁ - E₂ = 0.

However, at any point in between the plates, the electric field is directed consistently in one way.

At points 2 and 3, the field is directed to the right.

Thus, we have:

E net = E₁ + E₂

= б/2E₀ + -б/2E₀

=б/E₀

Note: Please refer to the attached document for the full question accompanying this solution.

Calculate the heat required when 2.50 mol of a reacts with excess b and a2b according to the reaction: 2a + b + a2b → 2ab + a2 g
Softa [3030]

Answer:

Q = 12.5 kJ

Explanation:

The formula used to compute heat is:

Q = H° * n

Where:

Q: heat (J or kJ)

H°: enthalpy of reaction (kJ/mol)

n: moles

Now, as noted in the comments, the question lacks completeness, here is the part that is missing:

Given:

2A + B  A2B (1)

ΔH° = – 25.0 kJ/mol

2A2B  2AB + A2 (2)

ΔH° = 35.0 kJ/mol

Using these two reactions, we can determine the heat change.

Using the above two reactions, we need to establish the overall reaction (the one presented in the question), so let’s combine (1) and (2):

2A + B -------> A2B   H°1 = -25 kJ/mol

2A2B --------> 2AB + A2   H°2 = 35 kJ/mol

When we add these equations, one A2B cancels out with one A2B from reaction 2, thus, we have:

2A + B + 2A2B -------> 2AB + A2

So, for the enthalpy, the values are summed:

H°3 = -25 + 35 = 10 kJ/mol

Now we can calculate the heat:

Q = 10 * 2.5 = 25 kJ

However, as we have 2A in the reaction, it does not maintain a 1:1 mole ratio, instead, it is 1:2, which requires us to adjust; thus:

Q = 25 / 2 = 12.5 kJ
