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.

Chemical energy (calories) is converted by your body walking on the surface into mechanical/kinetic energy

Well if the ship was in space their shouldn’t be a loud bang. Because you can’t hear anything in space

Four pairs of objects have the masses as described below, along with the distances between

lord [1]

Answer:

<h2>Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, 1 meters apart.</h2>

Explanation:

The gravitational force is defined as

$F=G\frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

By definition, the gravitational force depends directly on the product of the masses and indirectly on the distance between the masses, which means the further they are, the less gravitational force would be. And, the greater the masses, the greater the gravitational force.

Among the options, the pair that would have the greatest gravitational force is Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, with 1 meter between them.

Notice that the last choice includes the same masses but with a greater distance between them, that means it would be a weaker graviational force.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.

I don’t know how to answer this question? Can anyone help?

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

F=ma

here F is force, m is mass and a is accelaration,

According to the question,

F=3*F= 3F

m= 1/3 of m= m/3

a= ?

so the equation becomes,

3F= m/3*a

3F*3= ma

9F=ma

F= ma/9

Therefore accelaration reduces by 1/9.

I am not very sure.

A man and his dog are “walking” on flat Street. He is pulling on his stubborn dog with a force of 70 N Directed at a 30° angle f

Delvig [45]

Answer:

X component of force is 60.62 N.

Y component of force is 35 N.

Force of gravity on the dog is 245 N.

Magnitude of normal force is 210 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Force of pull is, $F=70\ N$

Mass of the dog is, $m=25\ kg$

Angle of inclination is, $\theta =30$ °

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

The free body diagram of the dog is shown below.

The X and Y components of force of pull is given as:

$F_X=F\cos \theta=(70)\cos (30)=60.62\ N\\F_Y=F\sin \theta=(70)\sin(30)=35\ N$

Therefore, the X and Y components of the force are 60.62 N and 35 N respectively.

Force of gravity on the dog is the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. Thus,

$F_g=mg=25\times 9.8=245\ N$

Therefore, the force of gravity on the dog is 245 N.

Now, consider the motion in the vertical direction of the dog. As there is no motion in the vertical direction, the net force along the Y direction is 0. In other words, the total Upward force is equal to the total downward force.

From the free body diagram,

$N+F_Y=mg\\N=mg-F_Y\\N=245-35=210\ N$

Therefore, the normal force acting on the dog is 210 N.
