61. Suppose a highly trained athlete consumes oxygen at a rate of 70.0 mL/(min · kg) during a 30.0-min workout. If the athlete’s mass is 78.0 kg and their body functions as a heat engine with a 20.0% efficiency, calculate (a) their metabolic rate in kcal/min and (b) the thermal energy in kcal released during the workout.

Mario, a hockey player, is skating due south at a speed of 6.35 m/s relative to the ice. A teammate passes the puck to him. The puck has a speed of 8.09 m/s and is moving in a direction of 22.0 ° west of south, relative to the ice. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) direction (relative to due south) of the puck's velocity, as observed by Mario?

A particular car engine operates between temperatures of 400°C
(inside the cylinders of the engine) and 20°C (the temperature of
the surroundings).
Given these two temperatures, what is the maximum possible
efficiency the car can have? (Note that actual car engine
efficiencies are in the 20-25% range.)
_______ %
Part (b)
A particular car engine operates between temperatures of 400°C
(inside the cylinders of the engine) and 20°C (the temperature of
the surroundings).
If the car was somehow able to operate at its maximum efficiency,
determine how much heat must be obtained by burning fuel in the
car’s engine to accelerate a 1500 kg car from rest to a speed of
100 km/h (neglect resistive forces). Note that a number like
1.23x10^9 can be entered as 1.23e9

The water flow rate for a particular sprinkler is 16 gpm. The water must be projected at least 25 feet in radius. The sprinkler is mounted 11 feet above the ground and is aimed at an angle of 29 degrees above the horiztonal. With what velocity must the water leave the sprinkler? What diameter (inches) should the opening be to achieve this velocity?

n ideal gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable piston on top of it. The piston has a mass of 8,000 g and an area of 5.00 cm2 and is free to slide up and down, keeping the pressure of the gas constant. (a) How much work is done on the gas as the temperature of 0.180 mol of the gas is raised from 30.0°C to 325°C?

A 1300 kg aircraft going 35 m/s collides with a 1500 kg aircraft that is parked and they stick together after the collision and are going 16.3 m/s after the collision. If they skid for 14.3 seconds before stopping, how far did they skid? Hint: Are the aircraft moving at a constant velocity after the collision or do they experience an acceleration?

During a relay race, you run the first leg of the race, a distance of 1.8 ✕ 102 m to the north, in 22.34 s. You then run the same distance back to the south in 24.20 s in the second leg of the race. Suppose the positive y axis points to the north. (Express your answers in vector form). (a) What is your average velocity for the first leg of the relay race? vav, y = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. m/s (b) What is your average velocity for the entire race? vav, y = Correct: Your answer is correct. m/s

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headlights that are 0.621m apart. At what distance, in kilometers, are you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source? Take the wavelength of the light to be 559nm and your pupil diameter to be 4.69mm. Answer in km!
