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.

If there are 6 coulombs of charge moving through a wire in 2 seconds. How many amps are moving through this wire?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Current = 3 Amperes

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of charge = 6 C

Time = 2 seconds

To find how many amps are moving through this wire;

Mathematically, the quantity of charge passing through a conductor is given by the formula;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

6 = current * 2

Current = 6/2

Current = 3 Amperes

A bucket filled with water has a mass of 70kg and is hanging from a rope that is wound around a 0.054 m radius stationary cylind
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

T = 37.08 [N*m]

Explanation:

We must remember that torque is defined as the product of a force by a distance. This distance is measured from the point of application of force to the center of rotation of the rotating body.

The force is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

F=m*g\\F=70*9.81\\F=686.7[N]

Now the torque can be calculated:

T=F*r\\T=686.7*0.054\\T=37.08[N*m]

Define the unit of time and unit of length​
garik1379 [7]
This is your perfect answer

The base unit for time is the second (the other SI units are: metre for length, kilogram for mass, ampere for electric current, kelvin for temperature, candela for luminous intensity, and mole for the amount of substance). The second can be abbreviated as s or sec.

What is the internal energy of 2.00 mol of diatomic hydrogen gas (H2) at 35°C?
djyliett [7]
As you mentioned, we will use <span>Equipartition Theorem.
</span><span>H2 has 5 degrees of freedom; 3 translations and 2 rotation
</span>Therefore:
Internal energy = (5/2) nRT
You just substitute in the equation with the values of R and T and calculate the internal energy as follows:
Internal energy = (5/2) x 2 x <span>8.314 x 308 = 32.0089 x 10^3 J</span>
