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?

Hint: You can model her power needs as the sum of the 380 W power to walk on level ground plus the power needed to raise her body by the appropriate amount. Assume that the efficiency of the body in using energy is 25%.

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>

Write a hypothesis about the effect of increasing voltage on the current in the circuit. Use the "if . . . then . . . because .
Yuliya22 [1153]

Hypothesis: An increase in voltage should result in a corresponding rise in current because according to Ohm's Law,

I \propto V

I=\frac{V}{R}

Ohm's Law indicates that current is proportional to voltage when resistance remains constant. Hence, if resistance stays the same, elevating the voltage will lead to an increase in current. Conversely, if voltage remains unchanged and resistance increases, current will decrease.

A champion athlete can produce one horsepower (746 W) for a short period of time. The number of 16-cm-high steps a 70-kg athlete
Sav [1105]

Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

Based on the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P stands for power, m is mass, g denotes gravity, h is height, and t represents time.

Rearranging the equation to solve for h, we have:

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Providing values: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Given constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

By substituting into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

Calculating number of steps: 6525/16

The resulting number of steps = 407 steps

A careful photographic survey of Jupiter’s moon Io by the spacecraft Voyager 1 showed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to
Sav [1105]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Highest point = 70000 m

g = Gravitational acceleration = 2 m/s²

m = Sulfur's mass

Since both potential and kinetic energies are conserved

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s

The velocity at which the liquid sulfur exited the volcano is 529.15 m/s

An object is moving in the plane according to these parametric equations:
Maru [1056]
A. The horizontal component of velocity is
vx = dx/dt = π - 4πsin(4πt + π/2)
vx = π - 4πsin(0 + π/2)
vx = π - 4π(1)
vx = -3π

b. vy = 4πcos(4πt + π/2)
vy = 0

c. m = sin(4πt + π/2) / [πt + cos(4πt + π/2)]

d. m = sin(4π/6 + π/2) / [π/6 + cos(4π/6 + π/2)]

e. t = -1.0

f. t = -0.35

g. To find t, set
vx = π - 4πsin(4πt + π/2) = 0
Then use this to calculate vxmax

h. To determine t, set
vy = 4πcos(4πt + π/2) = 0
Then use this to find vymax

i. s(t) = [x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2)

h. s'(t) = d[x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2) / dt

k and l. Determine the values for t
d[x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2) / dt = 0
And substitute to find both the maximum and minimum speeds.
