A student pushed a box 32.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.
2 answers:
The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)
Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.
Therefore,
Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time
Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W

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:
