Question

Assume that a man lifts 800 kg, the mass of half of the car, and a height of 0.5 m.  What is the gravitational potential energy supplied by Wonder Woman when lifting the back of the car?

PE= mgh= (800kg)(9.81m/s2)(0.5m)= 3,924 J

Calculate the power he exerts when lifting the car over a time interval of 5 seconds. 

(I just need help with the second half)

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Work done = Gravitational potential energy

Work done , W = 3924 J

(b) Time , t  = 5 seconds

Power , P = Work done divided by time taken

P = W/t
