perpendicular to the wave motion.
Answer: P = 36.75W
The additional power needed to account for the loss is 36.75W.
Explanation:
Given;
Mass of the runner m= 60 kg
Height of the centre of gravity h= 0.5m
Acceleration due to gravity g= 9.8m/s
The potential energy of the body for each step is;
P.E = mgh
P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.5
PE = 294J
Since the average loss per compression on the leg is 10%.
Energy loss = 10% (P.E)
E = 10% of 294J
E = 29.4J
To calculate the runner's additional power
given that time per stride is = 0.8s
Power P = Energy/time
P = E/t
P = 29.4J/0.8s
P = 36.75W
The speed is changing its direction all the time. There
is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called
centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no
acceleration.
This is the general formula for acceleration
a = dv/dt
When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change
in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt
tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference
between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity
(the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).
There is a formula (which can be deducted from the
previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:
a = v^2/r
Let’s talk about the units:
v is in m/s
r is in m
so v^2/r
is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2
which is the same unit as dv/dt:
dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2
The answer is B
because if you compare a regular road and ice... ice is smoother and therefore has less friction
