Answer: 552.5 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of man = 956 N

Height (h) = 2.41 m

Time taken (t) = 4.17 seconds

Power = ?

Recall that power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power = work/time

Thus, power = (mgh) / t

(Since weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity)

Power = (weight x height)/ time

Power = (956N x 2.41 m) / 4.17s

Power = 2303.96/4.17

Power = 552.5 watts

Thus, 552.5 watts of power is generated.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

Length. L = 12 m

Width, W = 16 m

Area, A = 12 x 16 = 192 m^2

Let the width of pavement be d.

The new length, L' = 12 + 2d

the new width, W' = 16 + 2d  

New Area, A' = L' x W' = (12 + 2d)(16 + 2d) = 192 + 56 d + 4d^2

Difference in area = A' - A

285 =  192 + 56 d + 4d^2 - 192

93 =  56 d + 4d^2

4d^2 + 56 d - 93 = 0

d = \frac{-56\pm \sqrt{56^{2}+4\times 4\times 93}}{8}

d=\frac{-56\pm 87.72}{8}\

d = 1.5 m

Thus, the width of the pavement is 1.5 m.
