Question

This is wor and power/work kinetic energy. Can someone please kindly show me the complete solution/computation and illustrations for this? With explanation please. Thank you

1) Calculate the total mass (kg) of a person climbing a hill 200 meters high if the work
done is 186.2 kJ.
2) A 62 kg student does 55 pushups in 45 seconds. With each pushup, the student must lift
an average of 68% of the body mass a height of 41 cm off the floor.
a) Calculate the work the student does against gravity for each pushup. Assume
that work is done only when pushing upward.
b) Calculate the total work done against gravity in 45 seconds.
c) Calculate the power generated for this period.
3) The largest bulldozer ever built had a mass of about 1.5 x 105 kg and a blade 7.4 m
wide. Its two engines had a total maximum power output of about 1.7 MW. How much
work (in megajoules) could this machine do each hour?
