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

Name TWO WEAKNESSES of the model pictured below
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Here are a few:

1) The orbital radius of these planets is ridiculously small an in no way representative of their actual radii.

2) The planets will only line up like that once every 5200 years, making this very unrepresentative of their usual relations - although this does make their order in distance from the sun.

3) The nebulae, comet, lens flare,  and other junk in the background is incorrect.

4) If this is meant as a representation of the planets, then Pluto should not be there as it is now considered a planetoid.

5) The planets are incorrectly scaled both to each other and to the sun.

Why isn't pluto considered a planet anymore?
aivan3 [116]

The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.

1. It is in orbit around the Sun

2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium

3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit

Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'

As a pelican flies through the air, it flaps its wings, thereby pushing down on the air below. What is the reaction force?
madam [21]

Answer:

the reaction force in this situation would be B

Explanation:

The action is the wings pushing down whilst the reaction is the air pushing up which allow the bird to fly .
