Question

While taking the stairs it takes you 10 seconds to reach the top. The next time you take the same stairs, it takes you 5 seconds to reach the top stair. During which of these trips up the stairs did you use more power to climb? Explain your answer in complete sentences with proper spelling, grammar, and other language mechanics.

    Answer:

      P₂ = 2 P₁

    we conclude that in the second time the power used is double that in the first rise

    Explanation:

    In this exercise we are asked the power to climb the stairs, if we assume that we go up with constant speed, we use an energy equal to the potential energy due to the difference in height of the stairs, as this height is constant the potential energy does not change and therefore therefore the energy used by us does not change either.

    Now we can analyze the required power,

             P = W / t

    From the analysis of the previous paragraph the work is equal to the energy used, according to the work energy theorem,

    therefore the first time the power is

               P₁ = E / 10

               P₁ = 0.1 E

    for the second time the power is

              P₂ = E / 5

              P₂ = 0.2 E

    we see that the power in the second case is

             P₂ = 2 P₁

    Therefore, we conclude that in the second time the power used is double that in the first rise.
