The energy released from glucose during this reaction is used and also wasted. Some of the energy is used as work while some amounts are used in other processes or stored for transfer to other organisms. Also, some of the energy is wasted in the form of heat.
Answer:
a= g = - 9.81 m/s2.
The following equations will be helpful:
a = (vf - vo)/t d = vot + 1/2 at2 vf2 = vo2 + 2ad
When you substitute the specific acceleration due to gravity (g), the equations are as follows:
g = (vf - vo)/t d = vot + 1/2 gt2 vf2 = vo2 + 2gd
If the object is dropped from rest, the initial velocity ("vi") is zero. This further simplifies the equations to these:
g = vf /t d = 1/2 gt2 vf2 = 2gd
The sign convention that we will use for direction is this: "down" is the negative direction. If you are given a velocity such as -5.0 m/s, we will assume that the direction of the velocity vector is down. Also if you are told that an object falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s, you would substitute -5.0 m/s in your equations. The sign convention would also apply to the acceleration due to gravity as shown above. The direction of the acceleration vector is down (-9.81 m/s2) because the gravitational force causing the acceleration is directed downward.
hope this info helps you out!
