He checked his pulse and found out in 15 seconds his heart had beaten 20 times. What is John’s resting heart rate, maximum heart rate, target heart rate (he is a beginner), and BMI? *Be sure to provide answers for all three rates and BMI in your answer. Try to answer each component and be sure to show your work! If you don’t have a calculator, it is okay to write out the formula with the values you would put in the calculator.

Bonus (Worth 5 points): A psychology teacher wants to know whether drinking caffeine before a test improves student performance. She gives one group of students a regular cup of coffee before an exam and another group a cup of decaf coffee.  The students then take the exam, and their exam scores are recorded to determine if the extra caffeine helped.

A toy airplane has a mass of [m] kg and is swung in a circle at the end of a 12.0 meter long string at a constant speed.  The string will break if the tension force in it exceeds 12.5 N.  Find the maximum linear speed of the plane that will not break the string. Calculate the solution in meters/second.  Type only the number part of the answer.  Do not include units.
