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.

Hey can anyone please help me with this it’s due in few hours and I’m stuck with ittt

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Check body of the explanation

Explanation:

Ooook, quick theory rushdown. if you're at a depth of h in a tank of a fluid, the pressure is the sum of the atmosferic pressure (if the tank is open on top) plus a term which is the product of acceleration of gravity - about $10 ms^-^2$ , the density of whatever you're sinking in, and the depth at which you are. In formula, $p(h) = p_0 + \rho g h$ , and the pressure is the same for every point of the tank at the same depth.

At this point, we can start answering!

1a. The pressure at A is - not counting atmosferic pressure - $1000 * 10 * 1 = 10^4 Pa$ , while in B is $1000*10*2 = 2*10^4 Pa$ , so it's half of it.

1b. The two points are at the same depth, so the pressure is the same - they would be even if the two cilinders weren't linked!

1c. Ditto. Same depth? same pressure!

1d. Usual equation, this time density is 800. Pressure is $800*10*2 = 1,6*10^4 Pa$ : Since the density is 4/5 of water, the pressure is also 4/5 of the one exerted by water

2a. The volume is simply the product, so $4m*3m*2m = 24m^3$

2b. Density is defined as mass over volume, so you simply multiply the volume you found earlier by the density of paraffine: $800* 24 = 1,92 *10^4kg$

2c. Weight is defined as the mass of something times the acceleration due to gravity, in our case it's $1.92 *10^4 kg * 10 ms^{-2} = 1.92 * 10^5 N$

2d. $\rho gh$ again, what a surprise! $800 {kg \over m^3} * 10 {N \over kg}} * 2 m = 1,6* 10^4 {N\over m^2} =1.6*10^4 Pa$

3. Yet again, $\rho gh$ . $1000 {kg \over m^3} * 10 {N \over kg}} * 2 m = 2* 10^4 {N\over m^2} =2*10^4 Pa$

You drop a pencil from your desk, which is 1 meter above the floor. How long does it take for the pencil to hit the floor? How f

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

1. 0.45 s.

2. 4.41 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 1 m

Time (t) =?

Velocity (v) =?

1. Determination of the time taken for the pencil to hit the floor.

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.8

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s.

Thus, it will take 0.45 s for the pencil to hit the floor.

2. Determination of the velocity with which the pencil hit the floor.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 0.45 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 0.45)

v = 0 + 4.41

v = 4.41 m/s

Thus, the pencil hit the floor with a velocity of 4.41 m/s
