If you push a box for a distance of 1 meter with a force of 4.187 newtons, how many calories have been used?
1 calorie= 4.187 Joules
See your 6:11 PM post.
To calculate the number of calories used, we need to convert the force applied into energy, and then convert that energy into calories.
First, let's calculate the energy used in Joules:
Energy (in Joules) = force (in Newtons) x distance (in meters)
Energy = 4.187 N x 1 m = 4.187 Joules
Next, we convert the energy from Joules to calories:
1 calorie = 4.187 Joules
Energy (in calories) = Energy (in Joules) / conversion factor
Energy (in calories) = 4.187 J / 4.187 cal
Energy (in calories) = 1 calorie
Therefore, the number of calories used to push the box for a distance of 1 meter with a force of 4.187 newtons is 1 calorie.
To calculate the amount of calories used, we need to convert the force in newtons to joules and then divide by the conversion factor from joules to calories.
Step 1: Calculate the work done in joules.
Work (W) = Force (F) × Distance (d)
W = 4.187 N × 1 m
W = 4.187 J
Step 2: Convert joules to calories.
1 calorie = 4.187 joules
So, 4.187 joules is equal to 1 calorie.
Step 3: Divide the work done in joules by the conversion factor.
Calories used = Work (in joules) / Conversion factor
Calories used = 4.187 J / 4.187 J/calorie
Calories used = 1 calorie
Therefore, pushing the box for a distance of 1 meter with a force of 4.187 newtons uses 1 calorie.
