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

The velocity of sound on a particular day outside is 331 meters/second. What is the frequency of a tone if it has a wavelength o
Leya [2.2K]
Answer:
frequency = 5.52 * 10² Hz

Explanation:
the equation that relates velocity, frequency and wavelength is:
velocity = frequency * wavelength

We are given that:
velocity = 331 m/sec
wavelength = 0.6 m

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the frequency as follows:
velocity = frequency * wavelength
331 = frequency * 0.6
frequency = 331 / 0.6
frequency = 5.52 * 10² Hz

Hope this helps :)

Two ions with masses of 4.39×10−27 kg move out of the slit of a mass spectrometer and into a region where the magnetic field is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

7.2 cm

Explanation:

magnetic field, B = 0.301 T

speed, v = 7.92 x 10^5 m/s

mass, m = 4.39 x 10^-27 kg

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

The radius of singly changed ion is given by

r = \frac{mv}{Bq}

where, m is the mass of ion, v be the speed of ion, B is the magnetic field and q be the charge

r = \frac{4.39\times 10^{-27}\times 7.92 \times 10^{5}}{0.301\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

r = 0.072 m

r = 7.2 cm

A ball traveling with an initial momentum of 5.1 kgm/s bounces off a wall and comes back in the opposite direction with a moment
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: Change in momentum=9.4kgm/s

Impulse=9.4kgm/s

Explanation:

Change in momentum=5.1-(-4.3)=5.1+4.3=9.4kgm/s

Impulse=Change in momentum

There impulse=9.4kgm/s
