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.

Gases are more prone to expansion and contraction than liquid . The biggest change in the volume in your thermometer was probabl
KiRa [710]

Answer:

In the air

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position

- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other

- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible

For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.

In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.
