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.

Norma kicks a soccer ball with an initial velocity of 10.0 meters per second at an angle of 30.0°. If the ball moves through the
enyata [817]

<u>Answer</u>

27.7


<u>Explanation</u>

The ball was hit at an angle of 30°, with the horizontal at a speed of 10 m/s. We have to find the horizontal component of speed.

cosx = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 30 = adjacent / 10

adjacent = 10 cos30

             = 8.66 m/s        ⇒ This is the horizontal speed.

Now  find the horizontal distance.

Distance = speed × time

               = 8.66 × 3.2

                = 27.71

Answer to the nearest tenth = 27.7

A pipe contains water at 500,000 Pa above atmospheric pressure. If you patch a 4.00 mm diameter hole in the pipe with a piece of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: 6.284N

Explanation:

Pressure is the ratio of force exerted to cross sectional area of the material.

Pressure = Force/Area

Pressure = 500,000Pa

Area = Πd²/4 where d is the diameter of the hole.

If d = 4mm = 0.004m

Area = Π×0.004²/4

Area = 1.26×10^-5m²

Force = Pressure×Area

Force = 500,000× 1.26×10^-5

F = 6.284N

The gum must be able to withstand 6.284N force

Explain why the brakes of a car get much hotter than the brakes of a bicycle?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: Car brakes produces more energy then the bicycle because the cars wheels produces a much bigger force that makes the car go and to stop that force the car uses greater amount of energy that transfers to heat  but in a bicycle the wheels do not turn that fast so when you press the break there is less energy that transfer to heat.

A 2.0-m-tall man is 5.0 m from the converging lens of a camera. His image appears on a detector that is 50 mm behind the lens. H
ladessa [460]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the magnification equation:

M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-\frac{q}{p}

where

h_i is the size of the image

h_o = 2.0 m is the height of the real object (the man)

q=50 mm =0.050 m is the distance of the image from the lens

p = 5.0 m is the distance of the object (the man) from the lens

Solving the formula for h_i, we find

h_i = -\frac{q}{p}h_o=-\frac{0.050 m}{5.0 m}(2.0 m)=-0.02 m = -20 cm

And the negative sign means the image is inverted.
