How come walking converts chemical energy into mechanical energy

Physics
2 answers:
WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
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.

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.
Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

<u>If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).</u>

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ----  Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur
Doss [256]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed  = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer:  10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.

What do astronomers use in addition to parallax to find the actual distance of stars that are close to Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

trigonometry (guessing)

Explanation:

ellipse: is the shape of an orbit : looks like an oval

periapsis : shortest distance between something like the moon and the planet its orbiting around like the earth

parallax is triangulation. like how gps works. looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. This technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth

https://science.howstuffworks.com/question224.htm

By comparing the intrinsic brightness to the star's apparent brightness we can calculate the distance of stars

1/r^2 rule states that the apparent brightness of a light source is proportional to the square of its distance.Jan 11, 2022

https://www.space.com/30417-parallax.html

alternative distance measurement for stars used by most astronomers is the parsec. A star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 parsec, or 1 parsec per arcsecond of parallax, which is about 3.26 light years
