Una persona de 80kg intenta bajar de peso subiendo una montaña para quemar el equivalente a una gran rebanada de un rico pastel de chocolate (700kcl). ¿a que altura debe subir?

Explanation:

An 80kg person tries to lose weight by climbing a mountain to burn the equivalent of a large slice of a rich chocolate cake (700kcl). How high should you climb?

Given that,

A person of mass

M = 80kg

The person is climbing a stair case and he burn an energy of 700 kcl

We know that 1kcl = 4184J

Then, 700kcl = 700 × 4184J

700kcl = 2.9288 × 10^6 J

We want to find height of stairs the person will climb when he Loss 700kcl. The energy he burns will be converted to the potential energy

P.E is calculated using

P.E = mgh

Where

m is mass in kg

g is gravitational constant g = 9.81m/s2

h is the height of stairs he climb in metre

Then,

P.E = energy burn

mgh = 700kcl

80 × 9.81 × h = 2.9288 × 10^6

h = (2.9288 × 10^6) / (80 × 9.81)

h = 3731.91m

So, the person will climb 3731.91m before he losses 700kcl

In espanyol

Dado que,

Una persona de masa

M = 80 kg

La persona está subiendo una escalera y quema una energía de 700 kcl.

Sabemos que 1kcl = 4184J

Entonces, 700kcl = 700 × 4184J

700kcl = 2.9288 × 10 ^ 6 J

Queremos encontrar la altura de las escaleras que la persona subirá cuando pierda 700kcl. La energía que quema se convertirá en energía potencial.

P.E se calcula utilizando

P.E = mgh

Dónde

m es masa en kg

g es constante gravitacional g = 9.81m / s2

h es la altura de las escaleras que sube en metros

Entonces,

P.E = quema de energía

mgh = 700kcl

80 × 9.81 × h = 2.9288 × 10 ^ 6

h = (2.9288 × 10 ^ 6) / (80 × 9.81)

h = 3731.91m

Entonces, la persona subirá 3731.91m antes de perder 700kcl

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
