While running, a person dissipates about 0.60 J of mechanical energy per step per kilogram of body mass. If a 68 kg person develops a power of 61 W during a race, how fast is the person running

Speed = 2.25 m/s

Explanation:

(Assume a running step is 1.5 m long)

Given the following data;

Energy = 0.6J

Power = 61 Watts

Mass = 68 kg

To find how fast the person running;

First of all, we would determine the total mechanical energy being dissipated by the person.

Total energy = 0.6 * 68

Total energy = 40.8 Joules

Next, we find the time;

Energy = power * time

40.8 = 61 * time

Time = 61/40.8

Time = 1.5 seconds

Finally, to find the speed;

Speed = distance/time

Speed = number of steps * time

Speed = 1.5 * 1.5

Speed = 2.25 m/s

explanation:

i believe the answer is c and this is only worth 10 points you might wanna change it

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
