John weighs 200 pounds.
In order to lift himself up to a higher place, he has to exert force of 200 lbs.
The stairs to the balcony are 20-ft high.
In order to lift himself to the balcony, John has to do
(20 ft) x (200 pounds) = 4,000 foot-pounds of work.
If he does it in 6.2 seconds, his RATE of doing work is
(4,000 foot-pounds) / (6.2 seconds) = 645.2 foot-pounds per second.
The rate of doing work is called "power".
(If we were working in the metric system (with SI units),
the force would be in "newtons", the distance would be in "meters",
1 newton-meter of work would be 1 "joule" of work, and
1 joule of work per second would be 1 "watt".
Too bad we're not working with metric units.)
So back to our problem.
John has to do 4,000 foot-pounds of work to lift himself up to the balcony,
and he's able to do it at the rate of 645.2 foot-pounds per second.
Well, 550 foot-pounds per second is called 1 "horsepower".
So as John runs up the steps to the balcony, he's doing the work
at the rate of
(645.2 foot-pounds/second) / (550 ft-lbs/sec per HP)
= 1.173 Horsepower. GO JOHN !
(I'll betcha he needs a shower after he does THAT 3 times.)

Oh my gosh ! Look at #26 ! There are the metric units I was talking about.
Do you need #26 ?
I'll give you the answers, but I won't go through the explanation,
because I'm doing all this for only 5 points.
a). 5
b). 750 Joules
c). 800 Joules
d). 93.75%
You're welcome.
And #27 is 0.667 m/s .
Answer:
c. probablistic view of nature.
Explanation:
According to the problem of particle in a box in one dimension. If the particle energy E is taken less than the height of the barrier V.
Then with the help of classical mechanics it can be prove that the particle can not cross the barrier but according to the quantum mechanics, there is a small but a finite probability to cross the barrier.
Therefore by the above discussion it can be concluded that quantum mechanics can be thought as a probablistic view of nature.
An object in motion will continue to move in the same direction and with the same speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. states that forces occur as equal and opposite pairs. The strength of the force is related to the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
Kinetic energy is energy of motion.
In the cases of a stretched rubber band, water in a reservoir, natural gas, or an object suspended above the ground, everything is just laying there, and nothing is moving. There's nothing there that has kinetic energy.
If there's any wind, then air is moving. The moving air has kinetic energy.
Answer:
The coefficient of friction and acceleration are 0.37 and 2.2 m/s²
Explanation:
Suppose we find the coefficient of friction and the acceleration of the 100 kg block during the time that the 60 kg block remains in contact.
Given that,
Mass of block = 60 kg
Acceleration = 2.0 m/s²
Mass = 100 kg
Horizontal force = 340 N
Let the frictional force be f.
We need to calculate the frictional force
Using balance equation
Put the value into the formula
We need to calculate the coefficient of friction
Using formula of friction force
We need to calculate the acceleration of the 100 kg block
Using formula of newton's law
Hence, The coefficient of friction and acceleration are 0.37 and 2.2 m/s²
