A person weighing 600N runs up a flight of stairs. It takes the person 10s to get to the top. They are 6m higher at the top of the stairs. How much power was used?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Power = 360W[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Force = 600N[/tex]

[tex]Time = 10s[/tex]

[tex]Height = 6m[/tex]

Required

Determine the power used

First, we need to calculate the work done to climb the stairs.

[tex]Word = Force * Distance[/tex]

In this case, the distance represents the height of the stairs.

So:

[tex]Work = 600N * 6m[/tex]

[tex]Work = 3600J[/tex]

Next, we calculate the power using:

[tex]Power = \frac{Work}{Time}[/tex]

Substitute values for Work and Time

[tex]Power = \frac{3600J}{10s}[/tex]

[tex]Power = 360W[/tex]

Hence, the power used by the person is 360 watts
