The most well known application of this theory is the use of a curve on a graph to represent the motion of an object, which could then be defined by a mathematical equation that would grant insight into the forces at work on the object. Further progress in mathematics was made by Oxford professor John Wallis.
The amount of time it takes for food to pass through your intestines depends on the type of food you have eaten, among other things. In general, it can take 24 to 44 hours from the time you eat food to the time it leaves your body as waste. The amount of food you eat and whether it is solid or liquid will affect how long it takes to pass from the stomach to the small intestine and from there to your colon.
Doctors estimate that it takes one to four days for food to go all the way through a person's system. The average time of the trip is about 24 hours. The food must travel through the esophagus, the stomach, 20 feet of small intestine and 6 feet of large intestine before exiting the body as waste.
