1 answer:

8 0

The formation of lactic acid in human muscles is closely associated with intense exertion or activity, during which aerobic respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy cannot be able to match the demand of energy by the muscles. The muscles therefore resort to anaerobic respiration for energy where pyruvate becomes a makeshift hydrogen acceptor rather than oxygen as happens in aerobic respiration. Pyruvate accepts a hydrogen from NADH and becomes reduced to lactate or lactic acid while NADH is oxidized to NAD which is crucial in the formation of energy that is then stored in the form of ATP which is used to re-fuel the muscles to keep them going.

Determine the approximate force (N) used to pull a sled up a 400 m hill using 1900 J of work.

Sergeu [11.5K]

The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
$W=Fd$
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.

In our problem, the work done is $W=1900 J$ and the distance through which the force is applied is $d=400 m$ , so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
$F= \frac{W}{d}= \frac{1900 J}{400 m} = 4.75 N \sim 5 N$
