It is well known that runners run more slowly around a curved track than a straight one. one hypothesis to explain this is that the total force from the track on a runner's feet--the magnitude of the vector sum of the normal force (that has average value mg to counteract gravity) and the inward-directed friction force that causes the runner's centripetal acceleration--is greater when running around a curve than on a straight track. runners compensate for this greater force by increasing the time their feet are in contact with the ground, which slows them down.
for sprinters running at 8 m/s around a curved track of radius 18 m, how much greater (as a percentage) is the average total force on their feet compared to when they are running in a straight line? express your answer as a percent.
(fcurved - fstraight) / fstraight

In a stagnant pool of water, a crayfish may spend much of its time lying with one side of its carapace near the surface of the water. in this position, it will move the walking legs on that side in a rhythmic back-and-forth motion. explain the likely function of this behavior.
