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.

A gas in a closed container is heated with 10J of energy, causing the lid of the container to rise 2m with 3N of force. What is

AveGali [126]

Explanation:

For this problem, use the first law of thermodynamics. The change in energy equals the increase in heat energy minus the work done.

ΔU=Q−W

We are not given a value for work, but we can solve for it using the force and distance. Work is the product of force and displacement.

W=FΔx

W=3N×2m

W=6J

Now that we have the value of work done and the value for heat added, we can solve for the total change in energy.

ΔU=Q−W

ΔU=10J−6J

ΔU=4J

Answer is 4J

Your neighbor is riding her bike around the block. When she slows down and turns a corner, what changes about her?.

Ann [662]

Answer:

nothing

Explanation:If you ride a bike around the block and return to the exact point where you started, your displacement is zero.

By definition, displacement involves changing an object from its original position. No matter how far or for how long a body moves, if it returns to the position it started from, it has not been displaced at all. This means that the body has zero displacements.
