Answer:

Power = 2940 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 60 kg

Height = 300 meters

Time = 1 minutes = 60 seconds

To find the power;

First of all, we would determine the potential energy possessed by the person due to height.

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

$P.E = mgh$

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

P.E = 60 * 9.8 * 300

P.E = 176400

Next, we find the power using the following formula;

Power = energy/time

Power = 176400/60

Power = 2940 Watts

The mutual forces of gravity between the Earth and an object on or near
its surface are (mass of the object) x (acceleration of gravity on Earth).
These two forces are equal, and we call their strength the "weight" of
the object. It's the number shown on the scale as long as nobody has
their thumb on the scale. In this problem, the force is 45N . (That's
about 10.12 pounds.)

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 meters per second² .

So 45N = (mass in kilograms) x (9.8 meters per second²)

Divide each side by 9.8 : Mass = 45/9.8 = 4.59 kilograms (rounded)

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Maximum height = 70000 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2 m/s²

m = Mass of sulfur

As the potential and kinetic energies are conserved

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s$
