Complete Question:
The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters' tendons stretch 43 mm , while nonathletes' stretch only 32 mm . The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, 
. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?
Answer:
Explanation:
Sprinters' tendons stretch, 
Non athletes' stretch, 
Spring constant for the two groups, k = 31 N/mm = 3100 N/m
Maximum Energy stored in the sprinter, 
Maximum energy stored in the non athletes, 
Difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the non-athlethes:
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of sledge hammer;
Mh =2.26 kg
Hammer speed;
Vh = 64.4 m/s
The expression fot the kinetic energy of the hammer is,
K.E(hammer) = ½Mh•Vh²
K.E(hammer) = ½ × 2.26 × 64.4²
K.E ( hammer) = 4686.52 J
If one forth of the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, then
ΔU = ¼ × K.E(hammer)
∆U = ¼ × 4686.52
∆U = 1171.63 J
Thus, the increase in total internal energy will be 1171.63 J.

Answer:
v = 12.86 km/h
v = 3.6 m/s
Explanation:
Given,
The distance, d = 13.5 km
The time, t = 21/20 h
= 1.05 h
The velocity of a body is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.
v = d / t
= 13.5 km / 1.05 h
= 12.86 km/h
The conversion of km/h to m/s
1 km/h = 0.28 m/s
12.86 km/h = 12.86 x 0.28 m/s
= 3.6 m/s
Hence, the velocity in m/s is, v = 3.6 m/s
D. The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible. For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed. Say the element has 10 protons. If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons
