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 19minutes.

determine the drag force on the runner during the race. suppose that the cross section area of the runner is 0.72 m2 and the density of air is 1.2 kg/m3.

what is this force as a fraction of the runner's weight?

Part A.1) The drag force on the runner is 8.33N .

Part A.2 ) The fraction of the drag force to the runner’s weight is 0.014 .

Explanation:

Drag force acts opposite to the direction of the of motion of an object or body. It tends to oppose the motion of the body. The drag force on the runner acts to oppose the motion of runner while he runs. This drag force depends on the speed of runner.

Solution:

Consider the drag coefficient for the runner is approximately 11 .

Write the expression for the speed of the runner.

v= d/t

Substitute 5 km for d, and 19 min. for t;

V= $\frac{5*1000}{19}$

V=4.39 m/s

Write the expression for the drag force on the runner.

$F_{d}$ = 0.5ρAv² $C_{d}$

subtitute A=0.72 m², ρ=1.2 kg/m³ , $C_{d}$ =1 and v= 4.39 m/s

$F_{d}$ = (0.5)*1.2*0.72* 4.39*1

$F_{d}$ = 8.33 N

Part A.1

The drag force on the runner is 8.33N .

(A.2)

Write the expression for the weight of the runner

w = mg

Here, w is the weight of the runner, g is acceleration due to the gravity, and mm is the mass of the runner.

m=60 kg ; 9.81m/s² for g

w= ( 60*9.81 )

w=588.6 N

The fraction of the drag force to the runner’s weight can be calculated as,

f= ( $F_{d}$ )/ (w)

Here, ff is the drag force as a fraction of runner’s weight.

f= (8.33) / (588.6)

f=0.014

Answer from: humblemalak

The drag force on the runner during the race is 8.31 N.

The fraction of the drag force on the runner's weight is 0.0141.

The given parameters;

mass of the runner, m = 60 kgdistance covered by the runner, s = 5 km = 5000 mtime of motion of the runner, t = 19 minutes = 1140 scross-sectional area of the runner, A = 0.72 m²density of air, ρ = 1.2 kg/m³

The speed of the runner is calculated as follows;

$v = \frac{s}{t} \\\\v = \frac{5000}{1140} \\\\v = 4.386 \ m/s$

The drag force on the runner is calculated as follows;

$F_D = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 C_DA$

where;

C_D is drag coefficient

Let the drag coefficient = 1

$F_D = 0.5 \times 1.2 \times 4.386^2 \times 1 \times 0.72\\\\F_D = 8.31 \ N$

The weight of the runner is calculated as follows;

W = mg

W = 60 x 9.8

W = 588 N

The fraction of the drag force on the runner's weight is calculated as follows;

$= \frac{F_D}{W} \\\\= \frac{8.31}{588} \\\\= 0.0141$

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster thatwill carry two passengers per car. the car goes up a 10-m highhill, then descends 15m to the track's lowest point. you'vedetermined that the spring can be compressed a maximum o 2.0m andthat a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 400kg. for safetyreasons, the spring constant should be 10% larger than the minimumneeded for the car to just make it over the top. a) what spring constant (k) should you specify ? b) what is the maximum speed of a 350 kg car if the spring iscompressed the full amount.
