Can power be negative in physics? I am doing a lab in which I run down the stairs as quickly as possible. They are 5.4m tall and

my work is 5321.7 J. After calculating work, I got -5321.7 J. I am supposed to calculate my power used over 3 trials. The time for trial 1 was 4.69 and the seconds for trials 2 and 3 are 4.25. After calculating my power I got -1134.69 W and -1252.16 W. I am not sure if I got my power right. Is my power really negative or is my power positive?

State an advantage of using such hydraulic jack to lift a load ​
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

You are going to lift and press down on the 200 N many times and move only a short distance. The reward is that slowly but surely you will lift a very heavy load -- one that cannot be managed any other way but by the hydraulic jack.

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

The magnitude of the weight of a 3.0 kg object on the surface of the earth is 29 N. True False
madreJ [45]
True

In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
F=mg
where m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=29 N

A block and tackle is used to lift an automobile engine that weighs 1800 N. The person exerts a force of 300 N to lift the engin
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.
