The total metabolic energy used by each to complete the course is determined as 656.91 J.

Kinetic energy of Jessie and Jaime

The kinetic energy of Jessie and Jaime is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • m is mass of Jaime
  • v is speed

15 km/h = 4.17 m/s

5 km/h = 1.39 m/s

K.E = ¹/₂(68)(4.17)² + ¹/₂(68)(1.39)²

K.E = 656.91 J

Thus, the total metabolic energy used by each to complete the course is determined as 656.91 J.
