Answer:
The average power the student expended to overcome gravity is 560W, Watts is a units of work it is Joules /time or kg*/
Explanation:
Weight = 700N
The power is the work in (Joules) or (N*m) in a determinate time (s) to get Watts (W) units for work
1) 3 miles/Hour
The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:
where
d = 1.5 mi is the distance
t = 0.5 h is the time taken
Substituting,
2) 1.34 m/s south
Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:
is the displacement in meters
is the time taken in seconds
Substituting,
And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
