  • A person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of 10 kg up to a height of 1m 1000 times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up ? Fat supplies 3.8xx10^7J of energy with a 20% effciency rate.Take g=9.8m//s^2

    A
    `2.45xx10^(-3)`kg
    B
    `6.45xx10^(-3)`kg
    C
    `9.89xx10^(-3)`kg
    D
    `12.89xx10^(-3)`kg

  • In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is found in two forms, i.e., ^12CO_2 and ^14CO_2 . Plants absord CO_2 during photosynthesis in presence of chlorophyll, plants systhesise glucose 6CO_2 +6 H_2O rarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2uarr Half life of ^14CO_2 is 5760 years. The analysis of wooden artifacts for ^14C and ^12C gives useful information for determination of its age. All living organisms, because of their constant exchange of Carbon dioxide with the surroundings have the same ratio of C-14 to C-12, i.e. 1.3xx10^-12 . When an organism dies, the C-14 in it keeps on decaying as follows: 6^14Crarr7^14N+(-1)^0e +Energy Thus, the ratio of C-14 and C-12 decreases with the passage of time. We can measure the proportion of C-14 in the remains of dead organism and determine how long ago it died. The method of carbon dating can be used to date anything made or organic matter, e.g., bone, skeleton, wood, etc. Using carbon dating, materials have been dated to about 50,000 years with accuracy. A piece of wood from an archeological source shows a C-14 activity which is 60% of the activity found in fresh wood today. The age of archeological sample will be:

    A
    4246 yrs
    B
    4624 yrs
    C
    4628 yrs
    D
    6248 yrs

    B
    combustion of fossil fuel
    C
    bombardment of atmospheric nitrogen by cosmic ray neutrons.
