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

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: -\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.

Thus for reaction:

2Br^.\rightarrow Br_2

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}

or Rate=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Thus -\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

How do you change matter into other phases of matter?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hey there!

There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.

For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.

Hope this helps!
