A 60-kg runner raises his center of mass approximately 0.5 m with each step. Although his leg muscles act as a spring, recapturi

ng the energy each time his feet touch down, there’s an average 10% loss with each compression. What must the runner’s additional power output be to account for just this loss, if he averages 0.8 s per stride?

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

What is the primary source of energy for earths weather systems
PIT_PIT [208]
I believe the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's weather system. The sun is the primary energy source for Earth's climate system which is the first set of essential principles of climate sciences. Additionally, it is the primary source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricane and tornadoes. The sun drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.
