what is the calculated change over time from slope? and what condition changed the fastest?
The oxygen cost of running on a flat surface at 200 m/min would be about: (hint: pay close attention to units in each answer choice).
O 30 ml. kg-1 min-1
50 ml kg-1 min-1
12.42 METS
10.96 METS
According to Jean Buridan’s equation, the momentum or “impetus” of an 88 kilogram mass moving at 5 meters per second would be:
110 kilogram-meters per second
220 kilogram-meters per second
440 kilogram-meters per second
660 kilogram-meters per second
880 kilogram-meters per second
