<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

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Do neither of these things ( c )

Explanation:

For length contraction : Is calculated considering the observer moving at a speed that is relative the object at rest applying this formula

L = (l) \sqrt{1 -\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

where l = Measured distance from object at rest, L =  contracted measured in relation to the observer , v = speed of clock , c = speed of light

you will do neither of these things because before you can make such decisions who have to view the object in this case yourself from a different frame from where you are currently are, if not your length and width will not change hence you can't make such conclusions/decisions .

Which formula represents final velocity of an object with average acceleration?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The equation v – = v 0 + v 2 v – = v 0 + v 2 is reflects the fact that when acceleration is constant, v – is just the simple average of the initial and final velocities.

Explanation:

hope this is it

Answer:

T’= 4/3 T  

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer e

Explanation:

For this problem let's use Newton's second law applied to each body

Body A

X axis

      T = m_A a

Axis y

     N- W_A = 0

Body B

Vertical axis

     W_B - T = m_B a

In the reference system we have selected the direction to the right as positive, therefore the downward movement is also positive. The acceleration of the two bodies must be the same so that the rope cannot tension

We write the equations

    T = m_A a

    W_B –T = M_B a

We solve this system of equations

     m_B g = (m_A + m_B) a

    a = m_B / (m_A + m_B) g

In this initial case

     m_A = M

     m_B = M

     a = M / (1 + 1) M g

     a = ½ g

Let's find the tension

    T = m_A a

    T = M ½ g

    T = ½ M g

Now we change the mass of the second block

    m_B = 2M

    a = 2M / (1 + 2) M g

    a = 2/3 g

We seek tension for this case

    T’= m_A a

    T’= M 2/3 g

   

Let's look for the relationship between the tensions of the two cases

   T’/ T = 2/3 M g / (½ M g)

   T’/ T = 4/3

   T’= 4/3 T

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer  e
