Wayne wants to play the game also, but it takes him twice as long to get up the stairs, or 6 seconds to go up.
The force of gravity acting on Wayne's body is 2000 Newtons and stairs are 3 meters high. How much power
does Wayne generate each time he goes up the stairs?

So, the power does Wayne generate each time he goes up stairs is 1,000 Watt.

Introduction

Hi ! Here, I will help you to calculate the power generated. Power is work done per unit time. If a person or machine can do a large amount of work in the shortest possible time, it will produce or require a large amount of power. The relationship between power, work, and time is expressed in the equation:

[tex] \boxed{\sf{\bold{P = \frac{W}{t}}}} [/tex]

With the following condition :

  • P = power that produce or require (Watt)
  • W = work that had done (J)
  • t = interval of the time (s)

Because the person is moving upwards, the work done will be equal to the change in potential energy. See this equation !

[tex] \boxed{\sf{\bold{P = \frac{F \times \Delta h}{t}}}} [/tex] ... (1)

[tex] \boxed{\sf{\bold{P = \frac{m \times g \times \Delta h}{t}}}} [/tex] ... (2)

With the following condition :

  • F = acting force (N)
  • [tex] \sf{\Delta h} [/tex] = change of altitude (m)
  • m = mass of the object (kg)
  • g = acceleration of the gravity (m/s²)

Note :

  • Use equation 1, if the action force is known.
  • Use equation 2, if the action force is unknown.

Problem Solving :

We know that :

  • F = acting force = 2,000 N
  • [tex] \sf{\Delta h} [/tex] = change of altitude = 3 m
  • t = interval of the time = 6 s

What was asked :

  • P = power that produce or require = ... Watt

Step by step :

[tex] \sf{P = \frac{F \times \Delta h}{t}} [/tex]

[tex] \sf{P = \frac{2,000 \times \cancel{3} \:_1}{\cancel{6} \:_2}} [/tex]

[tex] \sf{P = \frac{2,000}{2}} [/tex]

[tex] \boxed{\sf{P = 1,000 \: Watt}} [/tex]

Conclusion

So, the power does Wayne generate each time he goes up stairs is 1,000 Watt.
