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 .
<em>It is a series circuit.</em>
there here is your answer to your question
Uncertainty in measurements and calculations means difference between actual and measured data. We can say that all measurements have some degree of uncertainty. ... Systematic error (because of error in measuring instrument) 2. Random error (human errors such as- delay in starting, delay in stopping).
Answer: The air is full of water, as water vapor, even if you can't see it. Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water, with the best example being those big, fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head.
