Complete Question:

The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters' tendons stretch 43 mm , while nonathletes' stretch only 32 mm . The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, 31 {\rm {N}/{mm}}. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?

Answer:

\triangle E = 12.79 J

Explanation:

Sprinters' tendons stretch, x_s = 43 mm = 0.043 m

Non athletes' stretch, x_n = 32 mm = 0.032 m

Spring constant for the two groups, k = 31 N/mm = 3100 N/m

Maximum Energy stored in the sprinter, E_s = 0.5kx_s^2

Maximum energy stored in the non athletes, E_m = 0.5kx_n^2

Difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the non-athlethes:

\triangle E = E_s - E_n = 0.5k(x_s^2 - x_n^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*3100* (0.043^2 - 0.032^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*31000*0.000825\\\triangle E = 12.79 J

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 41.5 mm in height and 44.0 mm in diameter. what is the density of the material?
Korvikt [17]

Answer;

=15855.40 kg/m^3

Explanation;

Volume (V) of the cylinder = pi x r^2 x h  

V = 3.14 x (44/2 x 10^-3)^2 x 41.5 x 10^-3  

V = 6.307 x 10^-5 m^3  

By density = m/V  

mass = 1 kg

density = 1/(6.307 x 10^-5) = 15855.40 kg/m^3

What the planet after Venus
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Mercury and Venus are therefore closer to each other most of the time. But Earth is the planet closest to Venus. And that's why from here on Earth, Venus looks so big and luminous. Venus is the brightest thing in the night sky after the sun and the moon.

12000 inches to yards
Nutka1998 [239]

ANSWER

\begin{equation*} 333.33\text{ yds} \end{equation*}

EXPLANATION

We want to convert 12000 inches to yards.

To do this, divide the value in inches by 36:

\begin{gathered} 1\text{ in }=\frac{1}{36}\text{ yd} \\  \\ 12000\text{ in }=\frac{12000}{36}\text{ yds }=333.33\text{ yds} \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
