Here are questions about human diet. (a) A typical candy bar provides 280 calories (one 鈥渇ood鈥 or 鈥渓arge鈥 calorie is equal to ). How many candy bars would you have to eat to replace the chemical energy you expend doing 100 sit-ups? Explain your work, including any approximations or assumptions you make. (In a sit-up, you go from lying on your back to sitting up.) (b) How many days of a diet of 2000 large calories are equivalent to the gravitational energy difference for you between sea level and the top of Mount Everest, 8848 m above sea level? (However, the body is not anywhere near 100% efficient in converting chemical energy into change in altitude. Also note that this is in addition to your basal metabolism.)

Explanation of the efficiency of a person, gravitational potential energy, and average power

The joule of energy consumed by a person in the form of food is utilized to do work on the basis of the efficiency of that person.

Thegravitational potential energy is obtained by taking the product of the mass of the object, acceleration due to gravity, and height at which the object is kept. It is expressed as follows,

U=mgh.鈥.. (1)

Here, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height at which the object is kept

The average power is determined by taking the ratio ofgravitational potential energyto the time. It is expressed as follows,

P=Ut鈥︹ (2)

Here, U is the gravitational potential energy and t is the time.

03

Determination of the number of candy bars

(a)

Assume that the average mass of the person is 70kg and an average height of the person is 1.75m .

It is known that while doing the sit-ups, half of the mass of the person is lifted. Also, while doing the sit-ups, the center of mass of the body of the person is located at one-fourth of the height of the person.

The expression for the energy needed for doing the sit-ups is,

E,=m2gh4

Here, m is the mass of the person, g is the acceleration due to gravity, that is 9.8m/s2, and h is the height of the person.

Substitute all the values in the above expression, we get,

E,=70kg29.8m/s21.75m4=150.11kg.m2/s21J1kg.m2/s2=150.1J

Let the muscular efficiency of the person is 20 %. So, 0.2 J is the amount of energy that will be available for the work.

Write the expression for the practical value of energy needed for doing the sit-ups,

E2=E1n

E2=E1n

Here, n is the amount of energy available.

Substitute all the values in the above expression, we get,

E2=150J0.18=834J

The expression for the number of candy bars can be calculated as,

N=100834J1.176106J=0.071

Thus, the number of candy bars is 0.071 .

04

Determination of the number of days

(b)

Write the expression for the average power.

P=P=Et

Here, E is the number of calories in the diet and t is the time that is one day.

Substitute all the values in the above expression, we get,

P=2000largecalories1day=2000largecalories4.2103J1largecalories1day24h1day3600s1h=97.223J/S

Substitute all the values in equation (1), we get,

U=67kg9.8m/s28848m=5.8155106kg.m2/s21J1kg.m2/s2=5.8155106J

Substitute all the values in equation (2), we get,

97.223J/s=5.8155106Jtt=59816.0921h3600s1day24h=0.692days

Thus, the number of days is 0.692days.

Two circular plates of radius 0.12 mare separated by an air gap of 1.5 mm. The plates carry charge+Qand-Qwhere Q=3.610-8C. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field in the gap? (b) What is the potential difference across the gap? (c) What is the capacitance of this capacitor?

You throw a metal block of mass \(0.25\;\;{\rm{kg}}\)into the air, and it leaves your hand at time\(t = 0\)at location\(\langle 0,2,0\rangle \;{\rm{m}}\)with velocity\(\langle 3,4,0\rangle \;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\). At this low velocity air resistance is negligible. Using the iterative method shown in Section\(2.4\)with a time step of\(0.05\;\;{\rm{s}}\),calculate step by step the position and velocity of the block at\(t = 0.05\;\;{\rm{s}},t = 0.10\;\;{\rm{s}}\), and\(t = 0.15\;\;{\rm{s}}\)

Question: the Hall effect can be used to determine the sign of the mobile charges in a particular conducting material. A bar of a new kind of conducting material is connected to a battery as shown in Figure 20.85. In this diagram, the x-axis runs to the right, the y-axis runs up, and the z-axis runs out of the page, toward you. A voltmeter is connected across the bar as shown, with the leads placed directly opposite each other along a vertical line. In order to answer the following question, you should draw a careful diagram of the situation, including all relevant charges, electric fields, magnetic fields, and velocities.

Initially, there is no magnitude filed in the region of the bar. (a) Inside the bar, what is the direction of the electric field Edue to the charges on the batteries and the surface of the wires and the bar? This is the electric field that drives the current in the bar. (b) If the mobile charges in the bar are positive in what direction do they move when the current runs? (c) If the mobile charges in the bar are negative, in what direction do they move when the current runs? (d) In this situation (zero magnetic fields), what is the sign of the reading on the voltmeter?

Next, large coils (not shown) are moved near the bar. And current runs through the coils, making a magnetic field in the -z direction (into the page). (e) If the mobile charges in the bar are negative, what is the direction of the magnetic force on the mobile charge? (f) If the mobile charges in the bar are negative, which of the following things will happen? (1) Positive charge will accumulate on the top of the bar. (2) The bar will not becomes polarized. (3) Negative charge will accumulate on the left end of the bar. (4) Negative charge will accumulate on the top of the bar. (g) If the mobile charges in the bar are positive, what is the direction of the magnetic force on the mobile charges? (h) If the mobile charges in the bar are positive, which of these things will happen? (1) positive charge will accumulate on the top of the bar. (2) The bar will not becomes polarized. (3) Positive charge will accumulate on the right end of the bar. (4) Negative charge will accumulate on the top of the bar.

You look at the voltmeter and find that the reading on the meter is -510-4volts. (i) What can you conclude from this observation? (Remember that a voltmeter gives a positive reading if the positive lead is attached to the higher potential location.) (1) There is not enough information to figure out the sign of the mobile charges. (2) The mobile charges are negative. (3) The mobile charges are positive.

Question: The following questions refer to the circuit shown in Figure 18.114, consisting of two flashlight batteries and two Nichrome wires of different lengths and different thicknesses as shown (corresponding roughly to your own thick and thin Nichrome wires).

The thin wire is 50 cm long, and its diameter is 0.25 mm. The thick wire is 15 cm long, and its diameter is 0.35 mm. (a) The emf of each flashlight battery is 1.5 V. Determine the steady-state electric field inside each Nichrome wire. Remember that in the steady state you must satisfy both the current node rule and energy conservation. These two principles give you two equations for the two unknown fields. (b) The electron mobility

in room-temperature Nichrome is about 710-5(ms)(Ns). Show that it takes an electron 36 min to drift through the two Nichrome wires from location B to location A. (c) On the other hand, about how long did it take to establish the steady state when the circuit was first assembled? Give a very approximate numerical answer, not a precise one. (d) There are about 91028mobile electrons per cubic meter in Nichrome. How many electrons cross the junction between the two wires every second?

A device consisting of four heavy balls connected by low-mass rods is free to rotate about an axle, as shown in (Figure 11.98). It is initially not spinning. A small bullet traveling very fast buries itself in one of the balls.m=0.002kg, v=550m/s, M1=1.2kgM2=0.4kgm=0.002kg,R1=0.6mand R2=0.2m.The axle of the device is at the origin <0,0,0> and the bullet strikes at location <0.155,0.580,0>m .Just after the impact, what is the angular speed of the device? Note that this is an inelastic collision; the system鈥檚 temperature increases.
