Answer:

Condition of fatigue caused by depletion of glycogen

Explanation:

Let us examine how a body produces energy. There are two ways:

Fat metabolism

Fatty acids in the body help to capture adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which produces energy. On a per gram basis fatty acids yields the most ATP when oxidized completely.

Glycogen breakdown

the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase cleaves glycogen from the non reducing ends to produce monomers of glucose-1-phosphate. These monomers are used by the human body to supply energy.

When a person is exercising his/her VO₂ i.e., the oxygen consumption reaches maximum, here most of the energy comes from glycogen. While exercising most of the energy comes from glycogen breakdown.

So, when Anthony hit the wall it means that he has depleted his source of glycogen and can no longer produce glucose which provides him energy.

A 2000kg suv accelerates from rest at a rate of 3.00m/s^2. The total amount of force resisting its motion 1500N. How much force
choli [55]

The total force that the SUV exerts is:

F = 2000 kg * 3 m/s^2

F = 6000 N

 

Since a resisting force amounting to 1500 N is exerted, then the force exerted by the SUV tires is:

F tire = 6000 N – 1500 N

F tire = 4500 N
