Chemical energy stored in food cannot be transformed into mechanical energy true or false

Physics
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago

If that statement were true, then you would never have any reason to eat.
It might taste good for a while, but it would never help you stand up and
move around.

Where WOULD you get the energy to stand up and walk, if it didn't
come from food ? ?

The whole idea is pretty absurd.  I guess the statement is not true.

Parker (73.2 kg) is being dragged down the hall with an applied force of 123 N. If the frictional force is 27.4 N, what is the c
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction in the hall is 0.038

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the Parker, m = 73.2 kg

applied force on the parker, F = 123 N

frictional force, Fs = 27.4 N

the coefficient of friction in the hall = ?

frictional force is given by;

Fs = μN

Where;

μ is the coefficient of friction

N is normal reaction = mg

Fs = μmg

μ = Fs / mg

μ = (27.4) / (73.2 x 9.8)

μ = 0.038

Therefore, the coefficient of friction in the hall is 0.038

18. Un avión de rescate de animales que vuela hacia el este a 36.0 m/s deja caer una paca de
Alona [7]

Answer:

Definimos momento como el producto entre la masa y la velocidad

P = m*v

(tener en cuenta que la velocidad es un vector, por lo que el momento también será un vector)

Sabemos que el peso de la paca de heno es 175N, y el peso es masa por aceleración gravitatoria, entonces.

Peso = m*9.8m/s^2 = 175N

m = (175N)/(9.8m/s^2) = 17.9 kg

Ahora debemos calcular la velocidad de la paca justo antes de tocar el suelo.

Sabemos que la velocidad horizontal será la misma que tenía el avión, que es:

Vx = 36m/s

Mientras que para la velocidad vertical, usamos la conservación de la energía:

E = U + K

Apenas se suelta la caja, esta tiene velocidad cero, entonces su energía cinética será cero y la caja solo tendrá energía potencial (Si bien la caja tiene velocidad horizontal en este punto, por la superposición lineal podemos separar el problema en un caso horizontal y en un caso vertical, y en el caso vertical no hay velocidad inicial)

Entonces al principio solo hay energía potencial:

U = m*g*h

donde:

m = masa

g = aceleración gravitatoria

h = altura  

Sabemos que la altura inicial es 60m, entonces la energía potencial es:

U = 175N*60m = 10,500 N

Cuando la paca esta próxima a golpear el suelo, la altura h tiende a cero, por lo que la energía potencial se hace cero, y en este punto solo tendremos energía cinética, entonces:

10,500N = (m/2)*v^2

De acá podemos despejar la velocidad vertical justo antes de golpear el suelo.

√(10,500N*(2/ 17.9 kg)) = 34.25 m/s

La velocidad vertical es 34.25 m/s

Entonces el vector velocidad se podrá escribir como:

V = (36 m/s, -34.25 m/s)

Donde el signo menos en la velocidad vertical es porque la velocidad vertical es hacia abajo.

Reemplazando esto en la ecuación del momento obtenemos:

P = 17.9kg*(36 m/s, -34.25 m/s)  

P = (644.4 N, -613.075 N)

Difference between static and kinetic friction in physics
KIM [24]
The force of static friction keeps a stationary object at rest. Once the force of static friction is overcome, the force of kinetic friction is what slows down a moving object.

A car is moving with an initial relocity of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

The acceleration of the car, a = 10 m/s²

The time period of travel, t = 5 s

Using the I equations of motion

                     v = u + at

                        = 20 + 10(5)

                        = 20 + 50

                        = 70 m/s

Hence, the final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s
