The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35% of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have stu
died the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters tendons stretch 41 mm, while nonathletes' stretch only 33 mm. The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, 33 N/mm. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?

Answer:
t = 2.58*10^-6 s
Explanation:
For a nonconducting sphere you have that the value of the electric field, depends of the region:
k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2
R: radius of the sphere = 10.0/2 = 5.0cm=0.005m
In this case you can assume that the proton is in the region for r > R. Furthermore you use the secon Newton law in order to find the acceleration of the proton produced by the force:
Due to the proton is just outside the surface you can use r=R and calculate the acceleration. Also, you take into account the charge density of the sphere in order to compute the total charge:
with this values of a you can use the following formula:
hence, the time that the proton takes to reach a speed of 2550km is 2.58*10^-6 s
