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.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

321.39 m/s

1.3772213803 \times 10^{10}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

m = Mass = 9\times 10^{-14}\ kg

q_1 = Charge = -2.50 pC

q_2 = Charge = -3.10 pC

r = Radius = 3.75 μm

\varepsilon_{0} = Vacuum permittivity = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}\ F/m

We have the relation

m v^{2} &=\frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} 2 r}

v =\sqrt{\frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}(2 r)(m)}}

=\sqrt{\frac{\left(-2.50 \times 10^{-12}\right)\left(-3.1 \times 10^{-12}\right)}{4(3.14)\left(8.85 \times 10^{-12}\right)\left(2 \times 3.75 \times 10^{-6}\right)\left(9 \times 10^{-14}\right)}}

=321.39\ m/s

The Speed they need when very far away from each other to get close enough to just touch is 321.39 m/s

We have the relation

m a=\frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}(2 r)^{2}}

a=\frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}(2 r)^{2}(m)}

=\frac{\left(-2.50 \times 10^{-12}\right)\left(-3.10 \times 10^{-12}\right)}{4(3.14)\left(8.85 \times 10^{-12}\right)\left(2 \times 3.75 \times 10^{-6}\right)^{2}\left(9 \times 10^{-14}\right)}

a=1.3772213803 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

The acceleration is 1.3772213803 \times 10^{10}\ m/s^2

Phantasy [73]

As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom
