The power expended is 500 W
Explanation:
First of all, we start by calculating the work done by the man in order to ascend: this is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the man, which is
where
m = 50 kg is the mass of the man
is the acceleration of gravity
is the change in height
Substituting,
Now we can calculate the power expended, which is given by
where
W = 2500 J is the work done
t = 5 s is the time elapsed
Substituting, we find

Answer:
+7.0 m/s
Explanation:
Let's take rightward as positive direction.
So in this problem we have:
a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)
t = 4 s time interval
v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)
We can use the following equation:
v = u + at
Where u is the initial velocity
We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:
and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.
