In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

is 16.6 cm tall. It takes 5 minutes and 30 seconds for a person with a mass of 73.5 kg to walk all the way up. How much work did the person do?
2.What was the average power performed by the person during the walk?

3.How many food Calories did the person burn during the walk? (Do not enter unit for this part.)

Answer:

W = 16.5 Kj

P = 49.9 Watt

E = 16471

Explanation:

m = 73.5kg

t = 5min 30sec = (5×60) + 30 = 330sec

each step = 16.6cm = 0.166m

h = 135×0.166 = 22.41 m

g = 10 m/s²

(i) W = F × s = W × h = mgh

W = 73.5×10×22.41 = 16471.35

W = 16.5 Kj

(ii) Power = workdone/time

P = 16471.35/330

P = 49.9 Watt

(iii) The energy burnt in this process = 16471

488 J of work is done to a box which is moved across the floor for a distance of 8.9 m. What net force is required to act on the
kvv77 [185]
According to the formula
a = f \times d
Where a is work, f is force and d is the distance that box was moved over. And from that formula, you can get that f = a/d and that is 54.83N of force

Question 6 (10 points)
horsena [70]

Answer:

a= g = - 9.81 m/s2.

The following equations will be helpful:

a = (vf - vo)/t d = vot + 1/2 at2 vf2 = vo2 + 2ad

When you substitute the specific acceleration due to gravity (g), the equations are as follows:

g = (vf - vo)/t d = vot + 1/2 gt2 vf2 = vo2 + 2gd

If the object is dropped from rest, the initial velocity ("vi") is zero. This further simplifies the equations to these:

g = vf /t d = 1/2 gt2 vf2 = 2gd

The sign convention that we will use for direction is this: "down" is the negative direction. If you are given a velocity such as -5.0 m/s, we will assume that the direction of the velocity vector is down. Also if you are told that an object falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s, you would substitute -5.0 m/s in your equations. The sign convention would also apply to the acceleration due to gravity as shown above. The direction of the acceleration vector is down (-9.81 m/s2) because the gravitational force causing the acceleration is directed downward.

hope this info helps you out!

How does increased pressure result in the formation of a mineral?
drek231 [11]
The best answer is 
A) <span>The atoms in the mineral get rearranged

Over time, and under great pressure, the atoms of a substance can become rearranged, forming a new substance. For example, the intense pressure that carbon underground experiences, perhaps in the form of coal, can rearrange the atoms of the substance to create a diamond. </span>
