A 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s. (a) calculate the mechanical work done by the sprinter d

uring this time. (b) calculate the average power the sprinter must generate. (c) if the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25%, at what average rate is he burning calories? (d) what happens to the other 75% of the food energy being used?

The mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be 4537.5 J , the average power the sprinter must generate will be 907.5 W and if the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25% then he will be burning calories at 54.20 calories per second.

Work in physics is the energy that is transferred to or from an item when a force is applied along a displacement. It is frequently described in its most basic form as the result of force and displacement.

The quantity of energy moved or transformed per unit of time is known as power in physics. The watt, or one joule per second, is the unit of power in the International System of Units.. A scalar quantity is power.

Given 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s.

So let,

m = 75 kg

v = 11.0 m/s

t = 5.0 s

So the mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be as follow:

W = 0.5 mv²

W = 0.5 (75)(11)²

W = 4537.5 J

The average power the sprinter must generate will be as follow:

Power(P) = W / t

P =  4537.5/5

P = 907.5 W

Only 25% is absorbed. So, the sprinter only absorbed 226.875 J per second which is equal to 54.20 calories per second.

Hence   mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be 4537.5 J , the average power the sprinter must generate will be 907.5 W and if the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25% then he will be burning calories at 54.20 calories per second.

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing  illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

E_{e} = E_{3}  - E_{1}

E_{e} = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E_{1} = -4 eV

E_{3} = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

E_{e} = -1 -(-4)  eV

   = -1 + 4 = 3 eV

Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer
Nadya [2.5K]
The frequency of a wave becomes higher due to the object moving at a fast pace coming towards you with shorter wavelengths  (depending on the speed) aka the Doppler Effect. 
Hope this helps
