Under normal conditions the human heart converts about 13.4 j of chemical energy per second into 1.34 w of mechanical power as it pumps blood throughout the body. hint (a) determine the number of calories required to power the heart for one day, given that 1 calorie equals 4186 j. cal (b) metabolizing 1 kg of fat can release about 9000 calories of energy. what mass of metabolized fat (in kg) would power the heart for one day? kg

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above the surface of the moon (i.e., x = 6r)?

Amanometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential height between the two arms of the manometer is 34 in. if the local atmospheric pressure is 12.7 psia, determine the absolute pressure in the tank for the cases of the

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
