The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35%% of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists find th
zzz [600]

Answer:

11.16 J

Explanation:

Elastic energy (E) stored in the tendon is given by 1/2ke^2

SPRINTERS

k = 31N/mm = 31N/mm × 1000mm/1m = 31,000N/m

e = 41mm = 41mm × 1m/1000mm = 0.041m

E = 1/2 × 31,000 × 0.041^2 = 26.06J

NON-ATHLETES

k = 31,000N/m

e = 31mm = 31mm × 1m/1000 = 0.031m

E = 1/2 × 31,000 × 0.031^2 = 14.90 J

Difference = 26.06 J - 14.90 J = 11.16 J

The droplets on a glass of ice water are a result of water vapor releasing energy and changing to water droplets.
Anni [7]
That is true.

In the solid state the molecules of water have the lowest energy content.

To pass from solid state to liquid stated water needs to gain some energy to increase vibration and motion of the molecules and reach a higher energy states.

To pass from liquid state to vapor (gaseous state) the molecules of water have to gain more energy to increase more the motion of the molecules and reach a more energetic stated.

Then you can think that when the water vapor becomes liquid (droplets) it needs to release some energy.

The droplets formed on a glass of ice water is an example of water condensation, one of the processes of the water cycle.

The droplets on the external surface of a cold glass are the result of condensation of water.

Condensation is the pass from vapor state to liquid state. As whe have stated, when water passes from vapor state to liquid state it has to release energy because liquid state is lower in energy than vapor (the molecules in water experiment slower motion than molecules of vapor).

How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave determined?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Wavelength can always be found by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

Gravity anything with mass as gravity we know the earth has gravity because you and I are standing on earth and not floating off
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

F=mg

Explanation:

Close to Earth's surface, the force of gravity that pulls an object towards the ground is

F=mg (2)

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 close to Earth's surface

This is an approximation of the general formula of gravity valid only close to Earth's surface. The more general formula is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the object's mass

r is the distance of the object from Earth's center

At the Earth's surface,

r = R (Earth's radius), and by calling the following factor

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

we see that eq.(1) becomes eq.(2).
