The food which we eat in 3 days produces energy equal to the energy from _liters of petrol:
Correct answer: D. 9
- A. 1
- B. 3
- C. 1/3
- D. 9
Explanation
The energy content of food is typically measured in calories or joules. The energy content of food consumed in 3 days is 3*2500=75000 kcal and that of1 liter of petrol is about 8342 kcal/liter.Since 75000 is approximately 9 times of 8342, Hence, the correct option is (d) 9.Incorrect Options Explanation:(a) 1: This option does not reflect the significant difference in energy content between food consumed in 3 days and petrol.(b) 3: This option does not accurately represent the difference in energy content between food and petrol.(c) 1/3: This option implies that the energy content of food consumed in 3 days is less than that of a litre of petrol, which is not accurate.

About Work and Energy
Work transfers energy when a force causes displacement, while kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and power describe motion, position and the rate of energy transfer. The work-energy theorem links net work with change in kinetic energy, and efficiency accounts for energy losses rather than treating them as energy destruction.

Escape velocity of a body depends upon
A body moves a distance of 10 m along a straight line under the action of a force of 5 newton if the work done is 25 joules, the angle which the force takes with the direction of the motion of the body is:
