Lisa runs up 4 flights of stairs in 22 seconds. She weighs 510 Newtons. If each flight rises 310 cm: (a) What is her change in potential energy? (b) What average power (watts) was required during the 22 s?

Respuesta :

The change in potential energy is 6324 Joules while the power is 263.5 Watts.

Potential energy is the amount of energy possessed by a body due to its position relative to another object.

a) Potential energy = weight * height = 510 N * 4 flight * 3.1 m per flight

Potential energy = 6324 Joules

b) Power = Energy / time = 6324 Joules / 22 seconds = 263.5 Watts

The change in potential energy is 6324 Joules while the power is 263.5 Watts.
