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.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

<h2>1.17 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{700}{600}  =  \frac{7}{6}  \\  = 1.1666666...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.17 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 25 kg box on a horizontal frictionless surface is moving to the right at a speed of 5.0 m s. The box hits and remains attached
seropon [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the spring is negative .

Work done by force F creating displacement  d is given by the following expression .

Work = F x d

Both force and displacement are vector quantity .

When direction of force and direction of displacement is same , work is positive . When direction of force and direction of displacement is opposite , work is negative .

When spring is compressed , it exerts a restoring or opposing force in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of box . Hence here force is opposite to displacement . Restoring force acts opposite to displacement . Hence work done by spring on box is negative .

Using Figure 2, what is the momentum of Train Car A before the collision?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Option A. 180000 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

For Train Car A:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

For Train Car B:

Mass of train car B = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car B = 0 m/s

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Momentum = mass × velocity

With the above formula, the momentum of train car A before collision can be obtained as follow:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 45000 × 4

Momentum of train car A = 180000 Kgm/s
