Transcribed Image Text:11. An airplane passenger carries a 215 newton suitcase up stairs, a displacement of 4.20 meters vertically
and 4.60 meters horizontally.
a. How much work does the passenger do?
215N X 4.70m
= 903 J
b. The same passenger carries the same suitcase back down the same stairs. How much work does
the passenger do now? z15 NY4,20X cos 180
Cos 180 =-
woo903 J
