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

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

30 POINTS!!! CAN U AWNSER IT?? :)
solniwko [45]

Answer:

5235.84 kg

Explanation:

There is one theorem - whose proof I will never remember without having to drag calculus in there - that says that the variation of momentum is equal to the force applied times the time the application last.

F\Delta t = m \Delta v As long as the engine isn't ejecting mass - at this point it's a whole new can of worm - we know the force, we know the variation in speed, time to find the mass. But first, let's convert the variation of speed in meters per second. The ship gains 250 kmh, \Delta v = 69.4 m/s;

45 450 \cdot 8 = 69.4 m \rightarrow m = \frac{45450\cdot 8}{69.4} = 5235.84 kg
