Eric’s aerobic capacity was recently found to be 81 mL/kg/min by measuring his VO2max on a treadmill; how many MET’s does this correspond to?
The body mass index B of a person of mass m kg and height h meters is given by the formula B(m,h)=m/h^(2).One child increased his previous height of 1.2 meters by 3 centimeters, and his mass increased from 29 kg to 32 kg. Use the differential to estimate how much the child's body mass index has changed.
Solve using the factor labelling method:If a person weighs 125 pounds and 8 oz., how many mg does he weigh?

- A scientist was investigating if differences in the frictional work performed on a model car can change depending on its mass (in grams) and whether the car moves up or down an inclined plane. They decided to measure the amount of frictional force experienced by the model car and the distance it traveled in meters. The scientists were able to evaluate the frictional work using the following data. Mass (g) Distance (m) Force Work Done by Friction (J) car going up the incline 100 39 0.063 2.457 car going down the incline 70 39 0.2309 ? It is known that the relationship between force and distance determines the work done by friction (W+). W₁ = fd Wf work done by friction f = force d = distance Question: How much work done by friction was exerted on the car as it moved down the inclined plane?
