How come walking converts chemical energy into mechanical energy

2 answers:

6 0

Walking requires mechanical energy, because it involved accelerating and lifting a mass. That energy has to come from somewhere. Your body isn't built to run on solar panels, or a windmill, or a nuclear reactor, so the only place you can get the energy is from putting food into yourself and letting your stomach and guts do chemical reactions with it.

Answer:

The tension is $T = 48.255 \ N$

The time taken is $t = 0.226 \ s$

The position for maximum velocity is

S = 0

The maximum velocity is $V_{max} =0.384 \ m/s$

Explanation:

The free body for this question is shown on the second uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The mass of the bob is $m_b = 5 \ kg$

The angle is $\theta = 10^o$

The length of the string is $L = 0.5 \ m$

The tension on the string is mathematically represented as

$T = mg cos \theta$

substituting values

$T = 5 * 9.8 cos(10)$

$T = 48.255 \ N$

The motion of the bob is mathematically represented as

$S = A sin (w t + \frac{\pi }{2} )$

=> $S = A sin (wt)$

Where $w$ is the angular speed

and $\frac{\pi}{2}$ is the phase change

At initial position S = 0

So $wt = cos^{-1} (0)$

$wt = 1$

Generally $w$ can be mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}$

Where T is the period of oscillation which i mathematically represented as

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

$t = \frac{1}{w}$

$t = \frac{T}{2 \pi}$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

substituting values

$t = \sqrt{\frac{0.5}{9.8} }$

$t = 0.226 \ s$

Looking at the equation

$wt = 1$

We see that maximum velocity of the bob will be at S = 0

i. e $w = \frac{1}{t}$

The maximum velocity is mathematically represented as

$V_{max} = w A$

Where A is the amplitude which is mathematically represented as

$A = L sin \theta$

$V_{max} = \frac{2 \pi }{T } L sin \theta$

$V_{max} = \frac{2 \pi }{2 \pi } \sqrt{\frac{g}{L} } L sin \theta$ Recall $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

$V_{max} = \sqrt{gL} sin \theta$

substituting values

$V_{max} = \sqrt{9.8 * 0.5 } sin (10)$

$V_{max} =0.384 \ m/s$

Ross training for a half marathon which is 13.1 miles long. Within four months he has progressed to an 11 mile practice run if R

damaskus [11]

If Ross takes two months off from training, his fitness level will reduce in comparison to what it was two months ago.

In as little as 3–4 weeks after beginning strength training, Ross will probably experience weight increase, energy loss, diminished balance, diminished strength (making it tougher to carry out daily tasks), and overall fewer fitness levels.

Many people mistakenly believe they lose muscle mass far more quickly than they actually do because their muscles' ability to store water and glycogen is declining.

A decrease in strength and muscle mass, with beginners experiencing a smaller decline in strength than experienced lifters.

Ross will experience Increased VO2 Max from exercise. VO2 Max is almost completely lost in people who train at lower intensities.
