Question

Two students were climbing stairs at school. Student 1 has a weight of 700 N. Student 2 has a weight of 650 N. How much power would each student have if each took 6 s to climb a 4 m tall flight of stairs?
Student 1 would have 4200 W, and Student 2 would have 3900 W of power.

Student 1 would have 116 W, and Student 2 would have 108 W of power.

Student 1 would have 2800 W, and Student 2 would have 2600 W of power.

Student 1 would have 467 W, and Student 2 would have 433 W of power.

Answer 1

Student 1 would have a power 467 W and student 2 would have a power of 433 W. The correct option is the fourth option - Student 1 would have 467 W, and Student 2 would have 433 W of power.

From the question,

We are to calculate the power each student would have to climb the flight of stairs.

Power can be calculated using the formula

$P = \frac{F \times d}{t}$

Where

P is Power

F is the force

d is the distance

and t is the time

NOTE: The weight of the students represent the force

• For student 1

F = 700 N

d = 4 m

t = 6 s

∴ $P = \frac{700 \times 4}{6}$

P = 467 W

• For student 2

F = 650 N

d = 4 m

t = 6 s

∴ $P = \frac{650 \times 4}{6}$

P = 433 W

Hence, Student 1 would have a power 467 W and student 2 would have a power of 433 W. The correct option is the fourth option - Student 1 would have 467 W, and Student 2 would have 433 W of power.
