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.)

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • One large calorie is,4.2103 .
  • The number of calories provided by the candy is,4.2103J1largecalories=1.176106J .
  • The number of sit-ups is, n=100 .
  • The number of calories in a diet is, E=2000 large calories.

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.

Question: Because the change of the momentum is equal to the net impulse, the relationship of momentum itself to the net force is somewhat indirect, as can be seen in this question. An object is initially moving in the + x direction with a magnitude of momentum P , with a net force of magnitude F acting on the object in either the + x or - x direction. After a very short time, say whether the magnitude of the momentum increases, decreases, or stays the same in each of the following situations:

a) the net force acts in the + x direction and is F constant.

b) the net force acts in the + x direction and is F increasing.

c) the net force acts in the + x direction and is F decreasing.

d) the net force acts in the - x direction and is F constant.

e) the net force acts in the - x direction and is F increasing.

f) the net force acts in the - x direction and is F decreasing.
