Answer:

2.66m/s

Explanation:

information we have

power: 65W

work per step per kilogram: 0.60J

mass: 61kg

length of a running step: 1.5m

---------------

the formula for power is:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work and t is time.

time is also defined as: t=\frac{distance}{velocity}=\frac{d}{v}

so substituting this into the formula for power we get:

P=\frac{W*v}{d}

where v is the velocity we are looking for, d is the distance per step: d=1.5m, W is the work per step and P is power P=65W.

we know that the work per step per kilogram is:

0.60J

so to find the work per step of his whole body we need to multiply the 0.60J by the 61 kilograms of his mas:

W=0.60J*61kg\\W=36.6Jthis is the work per step of the person.

So now we can calculate the velocity using the formula for power

P=\frac{W*v}{d}

clearing for v:

v=\frac{P*d}{W}\\

and substituting known values:

v=\frac{(65W)(1.5m)}{36.6J}= 2.66m/s

Juan lives 100 m away from Bill.What is Juan's averege speed if he reaches Bill's home in 50 s?
Tom [10]
Juan lives a hundred miles away from Bill then the average speed that he reaches Bill's Home in 50 seconds means that Juan lives 50 seconds away from bill because 50 + 50 seconds equals 100 seconds so Juansorry my bad Juan lives 50 miles away from Belle but he probably how I must have run to get to bill in 50 seconds .
