How does your power output in climbing the stairs compare to the power output of a 100-watt light bulb? if your power could have

Answer:

since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is
E=mgh=(80 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=3924 J
So the power output is 
P= \frac{E}{t}= \frac{3924 J}{30 s} \sim 130 W

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.

An object at rest starts accelerating.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

<u>We are given: </u>

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

displacement (s) = 20 m

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

<u>Solving for 'a'</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(10)² - (0)² = 2(a)(20)

100 = 40a

a = 100 / 40

a = 2.5 m/s²

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.

What determines the radiation that an electromagnetic wave emits?
seropon [69]
The question is a little confusing. An electromagnetic wave is radiation. One doesn’t emit the other. Take another look at the question and write it again please.

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
deff fn [24]

B. It's randomness would increase

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. It also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.
