On a brisk walk, a person burns about 331 Cal/h. If the brisk walk were done at 3.0 mi/h, how far would a person have to walk to burn off 1 lb of body fat? (A pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3,500 Cal.)
mi?

32mi

Explanation:

If 1lb contains 3,500 Cal

It means the number of hours required to burn 3500cal would be;

3500/331 = 10.57hours

But a brisk walk is 3.0 mi/h,

It means a distance of 3.0 × 10.57 mi would be covered = 31.71 miles

32miles{ approximated to the nearest whole}

Note Distance = speed × time

the gas collects in coils that then becomes a liquid that then flows through the coils inside the refrigerator

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
