An 80-kg man climbs a 6-m ladder in 12 seconds. what is his average power expended?

Physics

If the ladder is vertical, then the work done in ascending equals his increase in potential energy. 
For a man of mass (m) climbing height (h), the PE is (mgh), where g is the acceleration due to gravity. 

If he does this in time t, his average power (rate of working) is: 
mgh / t 
= 80 * 9.81 * 6 / 12 
= 392.4 W. 

If the ladder is not vertical but inclined at an angle the horizontal, the power is mgh sin(a) / t.

An 5-kg animal accelerates from rest to 10 m/s in 10 m and encounters an average drag force of 12 N. What is the average power o
MArishka [77]

Answer:

60 watts

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the animal, m = 5 kg

Velocity of the animal, v = 10 m/s

Distance moved by the animal, d = 10 m

Drag force, F(d) = 12 N

Time taken, t = 2 seconds

To start with, we need to find the power output in itself before proceeding to find the average power output. And as such, we have

Power = Force * Distance/Time

But Distance/Time is velocity, so

Power = Force * Velocity

Power = 12 * 10

Power = 120 W.

We then use this power gotten to find the average power output.

Power(avg) = P/t

Power(avg) = 120 / 2

Power(avg) = 60 Watts.

Therefore, the average power output is found to be 60 Watts

gold has a density of 19.32g/cm^3. aluminum has a density of 2.7g/cm^3. which is heavier: 1g of gold or 1 g of aluminum? explain
DENIUS [597]
Gold is much heavier because it has a greater density, meaning the atoms are more closely packed. Also, the individual atoms are heavy as well making 1g of gold heavier than 1g of aluminum.
