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.

Answer:

15 m/s^2 The first thing to calculate is the difference between the final and initial velocities. So 180 m/s - 120 m/s = 60 m/s So the plane changed velocity by a total of 60 m/s. Now divide that change in velocity by the amount of time taken to cause that change in velocity, giving 60 m/s / 4.0 s = 15.0 m/s^2 Since you only have 2 significaant figures, round the result to 2 significant figures giving 15 m/s^2

Describe the composition of humus and why it is an effective organic fertilizer
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

soil additive
