You and a friend each carry a 15 kg suitcase up two flights of stairs, walking at a constant speed. Take each suitcase to be the

system. Suppose you carry your suitcase up the stairs in 30 s while your friend takes the 60s.
Which of the following is true?
a. You did more work, but both of you expended the same power.
b. You did more work and expended more power.
c. Both of you did the same work, but you expended more power.
d. Both of you did the same work, but you expended less power.

Answer:

Both of you did the same work but you expended more power.

Explanation:              

<em>Work done</em> by an object is calculated by force applied multiplied by the distance.

  W=F*d

From the figure given below let us calculate force applied bith you and yopur friend.

Let us take the stairs in positive x direction,

Work done by you W₁ ,

The force applied Fₓ = F - mgsinθ =maₓ

here aₓ = 0, because both of you move with constant speed

F - mgsinθ = 0

F=  mgsinθ

The work done by you on the suitcase is

W = F L cos0°  ,    where L is he length of the staircase.

W = FL = mgsinθL ,  by substituting value of F

Work done by you is W₁ = mgLsinθ

Similarly work done by your friend is W₂ = mgLsinθ.

Because both of you carry suitcase of same weight and in staircase is in same angle the force applied is same .

Therefore <em>work done by both of you is same</em> . Both of you did equal work.

The power , is defined as amount of energy converted or transfered per second or rate at which work is done .

P =\frac{W}{t} =\frac{FL}{t}

Power spend by you P₁ = mgLsinθ/t

P₁ = 15*9.8*Lsinθ/30

P₁ = 4.9L sinθ  eqn 1

Power spend by your friend is P₂ = mgLsinθ/t

P₂ =15*9.8*Lsinθ/60

P₂ = 2.45Lsinθ    eqn 2

Dividing eqn 1 and eqn 2

P₁ = 2P₂

You have spend more power than your friend .

Hence Both of you did equal work but you spend more power.

What is the magnitude of the force needed to keep a 60 newton rubber block moving across level,dry asphalt in a straight line at
pantera1 [17]

let Coefficients of Friction of Rubber on asphalt (dry) =0.7

F= Coefficients of Friction * normal force = 0.7 * 60 =42 N

so the net force of the rubber is zero, meaning it will travel at a constant speed.

When the rubber is travel at 2m/s, 42N is required to keep moving at constant speed

What likely happens to the hart rate as the cardiac mucle gets stronger
Kaylis [27]
The heart rate will likely decrease. As the cardiac muscle, or heart, gets stronger, it takes less effort to pump more blood. As a result, the heart will probably beat less, decreasing the heart rate. This is why athletes often have lower heart rates than the average person.

Superman is supposed to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Suppose that he obeys the normal laws of physics in this feat. Es
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

31.32 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let us assume the height of the Disque hall is 50 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 50}\\\Rightarrow u=31.32\ m/s

In order to make the jump Superman's initial velocity must be greater than or equal to 31.32 m/s
