In 1906 Kennelly developed a simple formula for predicting an upper limit on the fastest time that humans could ever run distances from 100 yards to 10 miles. His formula is given by t equals . 0588 s Superscript 1.125 where s is the distance in meters and t is the time to run that distance in seconds.Find Kennelly's estimate for the fastest a human could possibly run 1604 meters. (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed)

Answer :

Answer:

[tex] t = 0.0588 s^{1.125}[/tex]

For this case we need to replace the value of s = 1640 m in the formula and see what we got:

[tex] t = 0.0588 (1604)^{1.125}= 237.264[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume the following function:

[tex] t = 0.0588 s^{1.125}[/tex]

Where s is the distance in meters and t is the time to run that distance in seconds.

Find Kennelly's estimate for the fastest a human could possibly run 1604 meters. (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed)

For this case we need to replace the value of s = 1640 m in the formula and see what we got:

[tex] t = 0.0588 (1604)^{1.125}= 237.264[/tex]

We can also find the derivate of this function respect to the time and we got:

[tex] \frac{ds}{dt}= 0.0588*(1.125) s^{1.125-1}= 0.06615s^{0.125}[/tex]

And that would represent the rate of change of the time respect to the distance travelled.
