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.

Charlie pulls horizontally to the right on a wagon with a force of 37.2 N. Sara pulls horizontally to the left with a force of 2
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N

The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N

We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :

F_n=F-F'

F_n=37.2-22.4

F_n=14.8\ N

Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :

W=F_n\times d

W=14.8\ N\times 2.5\ m

W = 37 Joules

So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the mean of 22, 72, 79, 72, and 70
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

63

Explanation:

You first have to add all the numbers together.

22+72+79+72+70 = 315

You divide the total by the amount of numbers (5)

315/5 = 63

The mean is 63

In the diagnostic radiology energy range (which includes mammography) from 23 to 150 kVp, which of the following tissues possess
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Bone

Explanation:

Diagnostic radiology include the use of non-invasive imaging scans to diagnose a patient.

The voltages used in diagnostic tubes range from roughly 20 kV to 150 kV and thus the highest energies of the X-ray photons range from roughly 20 keV to 150 keV.

The tests and equipment used sometimes involves low doses of radiation to create highly detailed images of an area.

Which of the following is an example of acceleration?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth , a constant force is being applied on it which means it must has acceleration. Also the direction of satellite is always being changed when it is orbitting to there is always change in the velocity vector which means acceleration.

You can view in the attached diagram to understand how the velocity is being changed.
