Energy is conventionally measured in calories as well as in joules. one calorie in nutrition is one kilocalorie, defined as 1 kcal = 4 186 j. metabolizing 1 g of fat can release 9.00 kcal. a student decides to try to lose weight by exercising. he plans to run up and down the stairs in a football stadium as fast as he can and as many times as necessary. to evaluate the program, suppose he runs up a flight of 100 steps, each 0.150 m high, in 62.5 s. for simplicity, ignore the energy he uses in coming down (which is small). assume that a typical efficiency for human muscles is 20.0%. therefore when your body converts 100 j from metabolizing fat, 20 j goes into doing mechanical work (here, climbing stairs). the remainder goes into extra internal energy. assume that the student's mass is 85.0 kg. (a) how many times must the student run the flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat?

Acyclotron is used to produce a beam of high-energy deuterons that then collide with a target to produce radioactive isotopes for a medical procedure. deuterons are nuclei of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one neutron and one proton, with total mass 3.34×10−27kg. the deuterons exit the cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 6.40 mev .a-what is the speed of the deuterons when they exit? b-if the magnetic field inside the cyclotron is 1.25 t, what is the diameter of the deuterons' largest orbit, just before they exit? c-if the beam current is 350 μa how many deuterons strike the target each second?

Use henry's law and the solubilities given below to calculate the total volume of nitrogen and oxygen gas that should bubble out of 1.7 l of water upon warming from 25 Ëšc to 50 Ëšc. assume that the water is initially saturated with nitrogen and oxygen gas at 25 Ëšc and a total pressure of 1.0 atm. assume that the gas bubbles out at a temperature of 50 Ëšc. the solubility of oxygen gas at 50 Ëšc is 27.8 mg/l at an oxygen pressure of 1.00 atm. the solubility of nitrogen gas at 50 Ëšc is 14.6 mg/l at a nitrogen pressure of 1.00 atm. assume that the air above the water contains an oxygen partial pressure of 0.21 atm and a nitrogen partial pressure of 0.78 atm.
