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!

How do you calculate mass using Newton’s 2nd Law?
deff fn [24]
The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration.  Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2.  So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.

What is the correct path of electrons?
MrRa [10]

Electrons are transferred sequentially between the two photosystems, with photosystem I acting to generate NADPH and photosystem II acting to generate ATP. The pathway of electron flow starts at photosystem II, which is homologous to the photosynthetic reaction center of R. viridis already described.

(a) What is the potential between two points situated 10 cm and 20 cm from a 3.0-μC point charge? (b) To what location should th
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}

where k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}

Difference in potential between the points is

kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}

PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.

270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]

10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10

\dfrac{1}{x} = 0

x = \infty

The charge chould be moved to infinity

What is gibbs paradox?
mr_godi [17]
This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".
