- Aerobic Power Aerobic power can be thought of as the maximum oxygen consumption attainable per kilogram of body mass. There are a number of ways in which physical educators estimate this. One method uses the Queens College Step Test. In this test, males step up and down a 16-inch bleacher step 24 times per minute for 3 minutes, and females do 22 steps per minute for 3 minutes. Five seconds after the exercise is complete, a 15-second pulse count P is taken. Maximum oxygen consumption M, in milliliters per kilogram, for males is approximated by M=111.3-1.68P. For females, the recommended formula is F=65.81-0.74P. a. Calculate the maximum oxygen consumption for both a male and a female who show a 15-second pulse count of 40. b. What 15-second pulse count for a male will indicate a maximum oxygen consumption of 35.7 milliliters per kilogram? c. What 15-second pulse count will indicate the same maximum oxygen consumption for a male as for a female? d. What maximum oxygen consumption is associated with your answer in part c?arrow_forwardIf the road was made in the previous exercise, how much shorter would the man’s one-way trip be every day?arrow_forwardIf Descartes’ Rule of Signs reveals a no changeof signs or one sign of changes, what specificconclusion can be drawn?arrow_forward
- Enclosing a field You have 16 miles of fence that you will use to enclose a rectangle field. a.Draw a picture to show that you can arrange the 16 miles fence into a rectangle of width 3 miles and length 5 miles. What is the area of this rectangle? b.Draw a picture to show that you can arrange the 16 miles fence into a rectangle of width 2 miles and length 6 miles. What is the area of this rectangle? c.The first two parts of this exercise are designed to show you that you can get different areas for the rectangle of the sane perimeter, 16 miles. In general, if you arrange the 16 miles of fence into a rectangle of width w miles, then it will enclose an area of A=w8-w square miles. iMake a graph of the area enclosed as a function of w, and explain what the graph is showing. iiWhat width w should you use to enclose the most area? iiiWhat is the length of the maximum-area rectangle that you made, and what kind of figure do you have?arrow_forwardStock is removed from a block in two operations. The original thickness of the block is represented by n. The thickness removed by the milling operation is represented by p and the thickness removed by the grinding operation is represented by t. What is the final thickness of the block?arrow_forward
