Answer:

1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is

So the power output is

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.

Answer:

Magnification will be equal to 3

Explanation:

We have given focal length of the converging lens $F_1=20cm$

Focal length of the diverging lens $F_2=30cm$

Object is placed 40 cm to the length of the converging lens d = 40 cm

Combination of the focal length will be equal to

$\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{F_1}+\frac{1}{F_2}$

$\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{-30}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{60}$

F = 60 cm

So combination of the focal length will be 60 cm

Magnification is given by

$M=\frac{F}{F-d}=\frac{60}{60-40}=3$

So magnification will be equal to 3

When you cut yourself how does your body heal the wound

Naya [18.7K]

Chemicals are released by the damaged tissue to bring platelets to the area to become sticky and to plug the vessels. An inflammatory response occurs which brings immune cells to fight infection and other clotting factors come to begin forming a new tissue.
