Answer:

7160.2812 s or 1.988 hours

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

R = Radius of Earth = 6.37\times 10^{6}\ m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\omega = Angular speed

Force at equator would be

F_e=m(g-\omega^2R)

Force at pole

F_p=mg

From the question

F_e=\dfrac{1}{2}F_p\\\Rightarrow m(g-\omega^2R)=\dfrac{1}{2}F_p\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{2R}}

Time period is given by

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{2R}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.37\times 10^6}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow T=7160.2812\ s=1.988\ hours

The rotational period of the planet is 7160.2812 s or 1.988 hours

Lorico [155]

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.

If a force is 100 N and is pointing 37 degrees north of east. (a) Draw a diagram of this force. (b) Draw the force's x and y com
sasho [114]

Answer

given,

force = 100 N

Point 37 degrees north of east

a) and b) part is shown in the diagram attached below.

c) to find the x and y component of the force

x- component of the force

F_x = F cos \theta

F_x = 100\times cos 37^0

F_x = 79.86 N

y- component of the force

F_y = F sin \theta

F_y = 100\times sin 37^0

F_y = 60.18 N

A 20 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 80 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Find the coefficient
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N          [1]

Where \mu is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for \mu:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}

\mu=0.41

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

D=1/2at^2 <br> solve for a
nignag [31]

Answer:

a = 2d / t²

Explanation:

d = ½ at²

Multiply both sides by 2:

2d = at²

Divide both sides by t²:

a = 2d / t²
