An adult eats food whose nutritional energy totals approximately \(2.2\times10^3\mathrm{\ Cal}\) per day. The adult burns \(2.0\times10^3\mathrm{\ Cal}\) per day. How much excess nutritional energy, in kilojoules, does the adult consume per day? If 1 lb of fat is stored by the body for each \(14.6\ti

Physics: Principles with Applications 6
You drop a ball from a height of 2.0m. and it bounces back to a height of 5 m. (<?) What fraction of its initial energy is lost during the bounce? (b) What is the ball's speed just as it leaves the ground after the bounce? (c) Where did the energy go?

Physics: Principles with Applications 6
A heavy rainstorm dumps 1.0 cm of rain on a city 5 km wide and 8 km long in a 2-h period. How many metric tons (1 metric ton = 103 kg) of water fell on the city? [\(1\ \text{cm}^3\) of water has a mass of \(1\ \text{gram}=10^{-3}\ \text{kg}\).] How many gallons of water was this?

Problem 58P CALC A lunar lander is descending toward the moons surface. Until the lander reaches the surface, its height above the surface of the moon is given by y(t) = b - ct + dt2, where b = 800 m is the initial height of the lander above the surface, c = 60.0 m/s, and d = 1.05 m/s2. (a) What is
