While running, a person dissipates about 0.60 J of mechanical energy per step per kilogram of body mass. If a 61 kg person devel

Answer:

2.66m/s

Explanation:

information we have

power: 65W

work per step per kilogram: 0.60J

mass: 61kg

length of a running step: 1.5m

---------------

the formula for power is:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work and t is time.

time is also defined as: t=\frac{distance}{velocity}=\frac{d}{v}

so substituting this into the formula for power we get:

P=\frac{W*v}{d}

where v is the velocity we are looking for, d is the distance per step: d=1.5m, W is the work per step and P is power P=65W.

we know that the work per step per kilogram is:

0.60J

so to find the work per step of his whole body we need to multiply the 0.60J by the 61 kilograms of his mas:

W=0.60J*61kg\\W=36.6Jthis is the work per step of the person.

So now we can calculate the velocity using the formula for power

P=\frac{W*v}{d}

clearing for v:

v=\frac{P*d}{W}\\

and substituting known values:

v=\frac{(65W)(1.5m)}{36.6J}= 2.66m/s

In the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 3.40 mm . what is the differenc
Strike441 [17]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Given:  

diffraction grating slits = 900 slits per centimeter

interference pattern that is observed on a screen from the grating = 2.38m

maxima for two different wavelengths = 3.40mm

 

slit separation .. d = 1/900cm = 1.11^-3cm = 1.111^-5 m <span>

Whenas n = 1, maxima (grating equation) sinθ = λ/d 
Grant distance of each maxima from centre = y .. 
<span>As sinθ ≈ y/D  y/D = λ/d λ = yd / D </span>

∆λ = (λ2 - λ1) = y2.d/D - y1.d/D 
∆λ = (d/D) [y2 -y1] 

<span>∆λ = 1.111^-5m x [3.40^-3m] / 2.38m .. .. ►∆λ = 1.587^-8 m</span></span>

Algunos estudiantes de tu promoción consideran que se debería aumentar el número de horas semanales de Educación Física. Otros c
Pavlova-9 [17]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Te compartimos las tres ideas que te pueden ayudar para hacer tu artículo.

Título:

La Educación Física, una prioridad para las escuelas.

Existe una frase milenaria que se le atribuye a los griegos que dice "Mente sana en cuerpo sano."

Y es muy cierta.

Las escuelas deberían considerar seriamente aumentar el número de horas semanales para la impartición de la educación física por las siguientes razones.

1.- La educación física es vital para el desarrollo físico del estudiante. Desde los grados más básicos, las escuelas deberían fortalecer la enseñanza de la educación física por motivos de salud, y dejar este buen hábito en los alumnos para toda la vida.

2.- La educación física, mejora el rendimiento académico ya que ayuda oxigenando los músculos, fortaleciendo el cerebro para que pueda concentrase mejor, despeja a los alumnos de tal forma que puedan regresar a los salones e clase más "despiertos."

3.- La educación física sirve para introducir la importancia de practicar deporte toda la vida, y hacerlo en la etapa escolar a través de equipos deportivos como el Futbol Americano, el beisbol, el basquetbol, el volibol, el soccer, y otros tantos.

Este idea del trabajo en equipo a través del deporte es muy importante para desarrollar habilidades como el liderazgo, el compromiso, la constancia y el superar la adversidad.

El profesor de educación física debe enseñarte la forma correcta de respirar cuando haces ejercicio, la importancia de la relajación del cuerpo para iniciar una actividad. El profesor debe hacer énfasis en la etapa del calentamiento y el estiramiento para preparar al cuerpo antes de realizar el ejercicio. Así como muchas otras enseñanzas.

Por esa razón, las escuelas deberían considerar seriamente la posibilidad de aumentar las horas de educación física por semana.

by how many times occur in the force of attraction between two bodies change when the distance between then is reduced to one th
xenn [34]

Answer:

<em>The force is now 9 times the original force</em>

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law </u>

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Coulomb's formula is:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the particles' charge

d= The distance between the particles

Suppose the distance is reduced to d'=d/3, the new force F' is:

\displaystyle F'=k\frac{q_1q_2}{\left(\frac{d}{3}\right)^2}

\displaystyle F'=k\frac{q_1q_2}{\frac{d^2}{9}}

\displaystyle F'=9k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

\displaystyle F'=9F

The force is now 9 times the original force
