Question

Use F = 1/T as your basis:

8. If your heart rate is 150 beats per minute during strenuous exercise, what is the time per beat in units of seconds?

The answer is 0.400 s/beats but please show your work.

Answer 1

Heart rate is given by

• 150beats/min

Convert to per second

• 150/60=5/2=2.5beats/s

Now

Frequency:-

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \\u=(1)/(T)`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \\u=(1)/(2.5)`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \\u=0.4Hz`
