A student with a mass of 65.5 kg runs up a flight of 18 stairs. Each of the steps has a height of 16.5 cm. The student was able

to reach the top of the stairs in 2.57 s while climbing it 1 stair at a time.
1. Determine the student’s body power

2. If the student changed the number of steps taken in each step (i.e. 2 at a time OR 3 at a time) but nothing else changed, would this change the power of the student? Explain.

3. A Big Mac meal from McDonalds has 4 853 440 J of energy (1160 calories!). Using your answer from number 1, determine how long it would take for you to convert all the energy in a Big Mac meal (if only running stairs at the same rate). Express your answer in minutes.

The power developed by the student is 756.9 J/s and remains the same if the student takes the same time to climb the stairs when climbing it in two's and three's.

<h3>What is power?</h3>

Power is the rate at work is done.

  • Power = work done/time
  • work done = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height

Work done = 65.5 × 10 × (18 × 0.165) = 1945.35 J

Power = 1945.35/2.57 = 756.9 J/s

If the student climbed the steps in two or three at a time, the power does not change if the time remains the same.

  • Time required = Energy/ power

The time required to convert the Big Mac meal from McDonalds = 4 853 440/756.9

Time required = 6412.26 seconds

Therefore, from the power developed by the student, it will take him 6412.26 seconds to convert all the energy in a Big Mac meal.

Sudhir walks 0.40 km in a direction 60.0° west of north, then goes 0.50 km due west. What is his displacement?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The displacement of Sudhir is 0.781 km.

Explanation:

Given;

initial distance, d₁ = 0.4 km = 400 m, N60.0°W

final distance, d₂ = 0.5 km

Make a sketch of Sudhir motion to form a right angled triangle;

(Check image uploaded).

Apply cosine rule to determine d "displacement"

d² = 500² + 400² - (2 x 500 x 400 x cos 120)

d² = 410,000 - (400,000 x -0.5)

d² = 410,000 - (-200,000)

d² = 410,000  + 200,000

d² = 610,000

d = √610000

d = 781.03 m

d = 0.781 km

Therefore, the displacement of Sudhir is 0.781 km.

A car has a speed of 23 m/s and a momentum of 31,050 kg·m/s. What is the mass of the car?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Mass = 1350kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 23m/s

Momentum = 31,050 kg·m/s.

To find the mass of car;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

Substituting into the equation, we have

31,050 = mass*23

Mass = 31,050/23

Mass = 1350kg

Therefore, the mass of the car is 1350 kilograms.
