Answer:

The correct answer would be B. 18 to 26%.

The muscle efficiency is calculated by dividing mechanical work output by total metabolic cost.

It is estimated that human muscles have an efficiency of about 18% to 26%.

The efficiency is low because most of the energy is lost when food energy is converted into ATP (adenosine triphophate).

In addition, there is second energy loss when energy in the form of ATP is converted into the mechanical energy such as rowing, cycling et cetera.

A box falls off of a tailgate and slides along the street for a distance of 62.5 m. Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2. At what
Mila [183]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0   as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.

What is horoscope?
A forecast of a person's future, typically including delineation of character and circumstances, based on the relative positions of the stars and planets at the time of that person's birth.

   *
A short forecast for people born under a particular sign, especially as published in a newspaper or magazine.
 
    *
A birth chart.
 

What is its uses?
It can also be calculated for an event, a question, and even a country. Symbols are used to represent planets, signs, and geometric connections called aspects. In most cases, the horoscope in Western astrology is drawn on a circular wheel.
