Running on a treadmill is slightly easier than running outside because there is no drag force to work against. Suppose a 60 kg runner completes a 5.0 km race in 22 minutes.

a) Determine the drag force on the runner during the race. Suppose that the cross section area of the runner is 0.72 m2m2.

b) What is this force as a fraction of the runner's weight?

the answers are,

A. 6.17 N

B. 0.01049

Solution of an Drag force usually aets opposite to the motion Obiect resisti iting its motion Given in the question, mass of the runner, me 60 kg. Distance travelled, d = 5.0 km - 5000m Time taken, t = 22 minute = 22X 60 5 = 1320 S. Thus, Velocity of the traveller, va voce 5000 mis 1320 - 3.78 m/s The expression for drag force, D- LXCXP x v?x A Here, p is the density of the medium je air Sº, pa 1.2 kg/m?

From studies it is known that the more the time spent running on a treadmill the more the calories will be burnt. Let ρ (rho) denotes the population linear correlation coefficient between time spent running on treadmill and calories burnt in the gym then for H0: ρ=0 vs H1: ρ≠0 has to be verified to support the previous studies. To verify this relationship a random sample of 27 individuals from gym is selected. Given α (alpha)...

When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 852 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1018 N. The mass of the sky diver is 86.9 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign?

Running on a particular treadmill you burn a specific number of calories per minute. Write a python program that uses a loop (you must use a loop) to display the number of minutes (as an integer) it will take to burn greater than or equal to 100 calories. For example (user input indicated in bold): SAMPLE 1: How many calcories burned per minute? 54.3 2 minutes SAMPLE 2: How many calcories burned per minute? 4.3 24 minutes SAMPLE 3: How...
