While running, a person dissipates about 0.60 J of mechanical energy per step per kilogram of body mass. If a 61 kg person devel

ops a power of 65 W during a race, how fast is the person running? Assume that a running step is 1.5 m long.

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

Which is an example of a trace fossil?
hodyreva [135]

Answer: The correct answer is A). Animal burrow because burrow fossils represent the preserved byproducts of behavior rather than physical remains, they are considered a kind of trace fossil. One common kind of burrow fossil is known as Skolithos, and the similar Trypanites, Ophiomorpha and Diplocraterion.

Answer:

Velocity and speed both are continuously increasing.

Acceleration is constant.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as length of path covered by a body per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity that consist of magnitude only and not direction.

Velocity is defined as the displacement per unit times. Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points. It is a vector quantity and  hence has a direction in the direction of displacement along with its own magnitude.

  • Both velocity and speed have same unit of measure which is meter per second in S.I. During <em>free fall</em> in the absence of any air resistance the velocity and speed both will be having a vertical downward direction with continuously increasing magnitude. Tough we are not concerned about the direction when discussing about speed but here both are equal since the motion is linear.

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of a body which is a vector quantity. For speed we are concerned about instantaneous acceleration since for a short period of time it may have a specific direction.

  • During free fall the acceleration is of a body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and constant when the height of fall is much lesser than the radius of the earth.

Each value in nature has a number part, called its____<br> and a dimension, or unit
saul85 [17]

Answer:

<u>Magnitude</u>

Explanation:

Each value in nature has a number part, called its magnitude and a dimension called its unit.

For example,

The length of an object is 10 cm. It means that 10 shows the magnitude of length and cm shows its unit.

. A 13-g goldfinch has a speed of 8.5 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?
lesya692 [45]
PLEASE PRESS THE “Thanks!” BUTTON! :)
13 g —> 0.013 kg
KE = 1/2(m)(v)^2
KE = 1/2(0.013)(8.5)^2
KE = 0.47 J
