The Power Output of a Student Climbing Stairs
Calculating Power in Climbing Stairs
Work Done:
To calculate the work done in climbing the stairs, we can use the formula:
Work (W) = Force (Weight) x Distance (Height climbed)
Given Data:
Force (Weight) = 500N
Distance (Height climbed) = 15m
Calculating Work Done:
W = 500N x 15m = 7500 Joules (J)
Calculating Power Output:
Power Formula:
Power (P) = Work done (W) / Time taken (t)
Given Time:
Time taken = 20 seconds
Calculating Power Output:
P = 7500 J / 20 s = 375 Watts (W)
Therefore, the power output of the student climbing the stairs is 375 Watts.
