HOMEWORK

1) A student of mass 45kg, who is undergoing National Service

training, takes 6 s to climb a flight of stairs that has 36 steps. If
each step is 16 cm high, what is the power of the student?
[Assume g = 10 ms-1]

2) A stuntman (mass 60 kg) in a movie climbs up onto the roof

of a building, height 56 m. If the power generated by the
stuntman is 2.1 kW, what is the time taken by him to do his
work?

3) A car is moving at a constant velocity of 30 ms-1. If the total

resistant force (road friction and air resistance) acting on the
car is 700 N, what is the power needed by the car to maintain
this velocity?
