<span>If we call the time it took for you to climb the stairs in seconds, T, the height of the stairs in meters, h, your weight in newtons, W, then to find the power you developed in watts, P, the following formula restates what we said above: Power = W x h/t, W= 71kg x 9.81m/sec sq.= 696.51 N, Height h= 3m, time t= 10 sec, Power P=( 696.51 x3) 10= 208.953 watts = 0.28 hp.</span>

The first thing you should do is calculate the work done when climbing the stairs. This work by definition will be given by:
 W = F * d
 W = (m * g) * (d)
 W = ((71) * (9.8)) * (3) = 2087.4J
 Then, you can calculate the power that in this case is given by
 P = W / t
 P = (2087.4) / (10) = 208.74W
 To have the result in HP we use the fact that 1HP = 746W
 P = (208.74) / (746)
 P = 0.28 HP
 answer
 the power you produce in running up a flight of stairs is 0.28 HP

Kyle has a mass of 54kg and is moving at 3 m/s what is his kinetic energy
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

243J

Explanation:

K.E = 1/2 x 54 x 3^2

K.E = 1/2 x 54 x 9

K.E = 1/2 x 486

K.E = 486/2

K.E = 243J

True or False: The energy increase of an object acted on only by a gravitational force is equal to the product of the object's w
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The statement shown in the question above is false and this can be confirmed by Newton's law on universal gravitation. According to Newton, the gravitational force exerted on any body is proportional to its weight, but the distance that the object travels when falling is disproportionate. In addition, if the force resulting from the weight of the object and its displacement has an angle of 0º, the weight force of that object will provide an increase in kinetic energy.

How to understand that an inductor behaves like short circuit and capacitor like an open circuit in steady state in a network?
garik1379 [7]
It depends on the steady-state frequency. At zero frequency an inductor behaves like an open circuit. As the frequency increases, the inductor acts more like an open circuit and a capacitator acts more like a short circuit

A positive charge of 8.0 × 10-4 C is in an electric field that exerts a force of 3.5 × 10-4 N on it. What is the strength of the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

E = 0.437 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q=8\times 10^{-4}\ C

Electric force, F=3.5\times 10^{-4}\ N

Let the strength of the electric field is E. We know that, the electric force is given by :

F = qE

Where

E is the electric field strength

E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\E=\dfrac{3.5\times 10^{-4}}{8\times 10^{-4}}\\E=0.437\ N/C

So, the strength of the electric field is equal to 0.437 N/C.
