Question

A student weighing 5.4 × 102 newtons takes 15 seconds to run up a hill. The top of the hill is 10 meters vertically above her starting point. What power does the student develop during her run?

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 360 Watts

Explanation:

Given that,

The weight of a student, $F=5.4\times 10^2\ N$

It takes 15 seconds to run up a hill.

The top of the hill is 10 meters vertically above her starting point.

We need to find the power develop during her run. We know that te power developed is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{5.4\times 10^2\times 10}{15}\\\\P=360\ W$

So, the power develop during her run is 360 W.
