Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 1LLP
To determine
The efficiency associated with swimming and how they can be improved.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
While swimming, the potential energy associated with the human body can be lost in the modes of evaporation, conduction and convection. Swimming will be more efficient when the distance swam is more. Efficiency of swimming can be increased by following parameters.
- Maximizing forward speed
- Head and Body position
- Ankle flexibility.
