The food calorie, equal to 4186 j, is a measure of how much energy is released when the body metabolizes food. a certain fruit­and­cereal bar contains 140 food calories. (a) if a 65­kg hiker eats one bar, how high a mountain must he climb to "work off" the calories, assuming that all the food energy goes into increasing gravitational potential energy? (b) if, as is typical, only 20% of the food calories go into mechani- cal energy, what would be the answer to part (a)? (note: in this and all other problems, we are assuming that 100% of the food calories that are eaten are absorbed and used by the body. this is actually not true. aperson's "metabolic efficiency" is the percentage of calories eatenthat are actually used; the rest are eliminated by the body. metabolic efficiency varies considerably from person toperson.)

Asubmarine has a "crush depth" (that is, the depth at which water pressure will crush the submarine) of 250 m. what is the approximate pressure (water plus atmospheric) at this depth? (recall that the density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3, g = 9.81 m/s2, and 1 kg/(ms2) = 1 pa = 9.8692 10-6 atm.) a. 34.8 atm b. 24.8 atm c. 25.8 atm d. 7.8 atm

Engineers find a new metal that is stronger than steel but much lighter. this material is also significantly cheaper than what is currently used for most aircraft, available in large quantities, and easy to manufacture. the engineers are excited because this new material will lower the costs of buying and operating airplanes for companies. what is probably the best step for the engineers to make next?
