Refer to the diagram shown below.

When an athlete is in motion, he/she exerts a vertical force (the person's weight, W) on the ground. The ground exerts an equal and opposite force, N, the normal reaction on the athlete, so that W = N.

At the same time, the ground exerts a horizontal force, F, o n the athlete so that he/she does not slip.
The magnitude of the horizontal force is
F = μN = μW
where μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

Answer:
The horizontal force is μW,
where
W = the weight of the athlete and,
μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

An activity that is relatively short in time <10 seconds and has few repetitions predominantly uses the ATP/PC energy system. The cellular respiration procedure that changes food energy into ATP which is a form of energy is largely reliant on oxygen obtainability. During exercise the source and request of oxygen obtainable to muscle is unnatural by period and strength and by the individual’s cardiorespiratory suitability level.
Steps of the ATP-PC system:

1. Primarily, ATP kept in the myosin cross-bridges which is microscopic contractile parts of muscle is broken down to issue energy for muscle shrinkage. This action consents the by-products of ATP breakdown which are the adenosine diphosphate and one single phosphate all on its own.

2. Phosphocreatine is then broken down by the enzyme creatine kinase into creatine and phosphate.

3. The energy free in the breakdown of PC permits ADP and Pi to rejoin creating more ATP. This newly made ATP can now be broken down to issue energy to fuel activity.

Answer:

xcritical = d− m1 /m2 ( L /2−d)

Explanation: the precursor to this question will had been this

the precursor to the question can be found online.

ff the mass of the block is too large and the block is too close to the left end of the bar (near string B) then the horizontal bar may become unstable (i.e., the bar may no longer remain horizontal). What is the smallest possible value of x such that the bar remains stable (call it xcritical)

. from the principle of moments which states that sum of clockwise moments must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments. aslo sum of upward forces is equal to sum of downward forces

smallest possible value of x such that the bar remains stable (call it xcritical)

∑τA = 0 = m2g(d− xcritical)− m1g( −d)

xcritical = d− m1 /m2 ( L /2−d)

Crazy boy [7]

It would be a really bad idea to eat the snow because you obviously are trying to stay warm right? Well, the best thing to do is melt the snow. However, the process of melting the snow would have a few complications as well. But yes, the latter idea (drinking the snow) is a better idea (not the best).
