A 68 kg hiker walks at 5.0 km/h up a 9% slope. The indicated incline is the ratio of the vertical distance and the horizontal di

stance expressed as percentage.
What is the necessary metabolic power?

Hint: You can model her power needs as the sum of the 380 W power to walk on level ground plus the power needed to raise her body by the appropriate amount. Assume that the efficiency of the body in using energy is 25%.

The formula used to calculate power is:

Power = Work / Time

Where Work is defined as Force multiplied by Distance, hence:

Power = Force * Distance / Time

This can also be expressed as:

Power = Force * Velocity<span>


Converting the velocity from km/h to m/s:</span>

Velocity = (5 km / h) (1000 m / km) (1 h / 3600 s)<span>
Velocity = 1.39 m/s 

</span>

The calculated force corresponds to the vertical component of the hiker's weight:

Force = Wy * g = W * sin θ * g

 

To find the angle θ, we utilize the slope, which is defined as:

slope = tan θ = ratio of vertical to horizontal distance

tan θ = 0.09

θ = 5.14˚

Thus, we have Force = 68 kg * sin(5.14˚) * 9.8 m/s²<span>
Force = 666.4 * sin(5.14) = 59.73 N 

</span>

<span>Now, let's compute the power:
<span>Power = 59.73 N * 1.39 m/s = 82.96 W
Given the hiker's efficiency is at 25%, we can find the metabolic power: 
<span>Metabolic Power = 82.96 W / 0.25 = 331.83 watts </span></span></span>

A ball collides elastically with an immovable wall fixed to the earth’s surface. Which statement is false? 1. The ball's speed i
Maru [3345]

Answer:

Statements 4, 6 & 7 are incorrect.

Explanation:

In any elastic collision, the overall momentum vector sum of the system remains zero.

In this scenario, an elastic collision occurs between the ball and a stationary wall. The ball's velocity will consistently revert after the impact, leading to a change in direction of momentum.

The initial momentum of the ball is represented as:

p=m.v

where:

m = mass of the ball

v = initial velocity of the body

post-collision for the elastic interaction:

p=m.(-v)

  • Here, the momentum changes solely in direction, thus contradicting statement 7.
  • During the impact, both the ball and the wall exert forces on each other that are equal and opposite. The wall remains motionless, while the ball is influenced by the wall's reaction force, performing work on it, which contradicts statement 4.
  • Given that this collision is elastic, the ball's form and dimensions do not alter.
  • The previous points clearly indicate that not all provided statements hold true, thus violating statement 6.
