The physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch what's happening, you'll see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot as you bring your rear foot forward for the next step. As you do so, the normal force of the ground on your foot decreases and your body tries to "lift off" from the ground.
A.
A person's center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass m at the top of a leg of length L.
Find an expression for the person's maximum walking speed vmax
Express your answer in terms of the variables L and appropriate constants.
b.)Evaluate your expression for the maximum walking speed of a 70 kg person with a typical leg length of 70 cm . Give your answer in m/s.
c.) Give your answer in mph.

- A block of mass 2.00 kg starts from rest at the edge of the ramp as shown. It is pushed up the ramp by a 30.0 N force, F, acting parallel to the ramp as shown. The ramp makes an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal. Assume the ramp is smooth. When the block reaches the top of the ramp, the force F stops acting so that the block is only under the influence of gravity. It takes the block t=5 seconds to reach point A. The block is therefore launched from the top of the ramp and follows a parabolic trajectory in the air. Take the acceleration due to Earth's gravity to be 9.81 m/s². 40- How much time (measured starting at point A) does it take for the block to travel from the edge of the ramp (point A) to the top of its trajectory (point B)?
