Let Pa, Pb, Pc, and Pd be the powers delivered by weightlifters A, B, C, and D, respectively.

Use this equation to determine each power value:

P = W÷Δt

P is the power, W is the work done by the weightlifter, and Δt is the elapsed time.

A) Determining Pa:

Pa = W÷Δt

The weightlifter does work to lift the weight up a certain distance. Therefore the work done is equal to the weight's gain in gravitational potential energy. The equation for gravitational PE is

PE = mgh

PE is the potential energy, m is the mass of the weight, g is the acceleration of objects due to earth's gravity, and h is the distance the weight was lifted.

We can equate W = PE = mgh, therefore we can make the following substitution:

Pa = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 100.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 2.25m

Δt = 0.151s

Plug in the values and solve for Pa

Pa = 100.0×9.81×2.25÷0.151

<u>Pa = 14600W</u> (watt is the SI derived unit of power)

B) Determining Pb:

Let us use our new equation derived in part A to solve for Pb:

Pb = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 150.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.76m

Δt = 0.052s

Plug in the values and solve for Pb

Pb = 150.0×9.81×1.76÷0.052

<u>Pb = 49800W</u>

C) Determining Pc:

Pc = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 200.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.50m

Δt = 0.217s

Plug in the values and solve for Pc

Pc = 200.0×9.81×1.50÷0.217

<u>Pc = 13600W</u>

D) Determining Pd:

Pd = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 250.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.25m

Δt = 0.206s

Plug in the values and solve for Pd

Pd = 250.0×9.81×1.25÷0.206

<u>Pd = 14900W</u>

Compare the following power values:

Pa = 14600W, Pb = 49800W, Pc = 13600W, Pd = 14900W

Pc is the lowest value.

Therefore, weightlifter C delivers the least power.

Experiment: Group 1 drinks 500 mL of coffee a day.
slega [8]

Answer:

How does the drink content affect an individual's blood pressure?

Explanation:

In every experiment using the scientific method, an observation lays the foundation of that experiment. A problem must be observed, which then leads to asking a SCIENTIFIC QUESTION in order to investigate. A scientific question must include the variable being changed called INDEPENDENT VARIABLE and the variable being measured called DEPENDENT VARIABLE.

In this experimental procedure or set up,

- Group 1 drinks 500 mL of coffee a day.

- Group 2 drink 500 mL of tea a day,

- Group 3 is a control group i.e no drink

At the end of 60 days all participants

blood pressure is tested.

This set up indicates that the variable being changed (independent) is the DRINK CONTENT while the variable being measured (dependent) is the BLOOD PRESSURE. Hence, these variables serve as the template to ask a scientific question which goes thus:

HOW DOES THE DRINK CONTENT AFFECT AN INDIVIDUAL'S BLOOD PRESSURE?

This scientific question relates how the independent variable (drink) causes the dependent variable to respond (blood pressure).
