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:-

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \nu=\dfrac{1}{T}$

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \nu=\dfrac{1}{2.5}$

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \nu=0.4Hz$
