Hello!

Work is equal to negative change in PE and PE=mgh and Power is change in work/change in time

So we have 

56.1kg * 9.80m/s^2 * 16m = 8796.5 J of PE at top of run and -8796.5J of work done also

if it takes him 12s then we need to find the time gravity alone would bring him to the bottom. we get

16m=1/2at^2 and solving for t we get 
t=sqrt(32/9.80m/s^2)=1.81s

so the difference in time is 12-1.8=11.2s

now we can find avg power=work/time = 8796.5J/11.2s = 785W or 785J/s

Hope this helps! Any questions please ask! Thank you!

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.540 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?
jok3333 [9.3K]
For an uniformly accelerated motion, we can write
2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2
where a=g=-9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration of this motion, which in this problem is the gravitational acceleration, with a negative sign because it points downward, against the direction of the motion; h=0.540 m is the distance covered by the flea, and v_0 is the initial velocity. 

At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so v_f =0. Therefore we  can solve to find v_0:
v_0 =  \sqrt{2ah}= \sqrt{2(9.81 m/s^2)(0.540 m)}  =3.25 m/s

How is the Earth's magnetic field like a bar magnet's magnetic field?
valina [46]
In the outer layers  of earths atmosphere gases are in ionized state primarily on  account of cosmic rays . as earth rotates , strong electric current are set up due to movement of ions . these currents form earth magnetic field . and thus two equal and opposite poles of earth formed

Letters A B, C and D represent locations on a bar magnet. Which location has the greatest magnetic force? (l) A (3) C ets (2) B
Elena L [17]
Answer: The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center. So it would be D.

A circular track has a radius of 50m.What is the displacement?
stepladder [879]

The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.

The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how  far around it goes before it stops.  The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.

The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once.  Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.
