Explanation Given: Time taken by the first person to climb the stairs, t 1 = 30 sec Time taken by the second person to climb the stairs, t 2 = 30 sec The work done is the product of force and the displacement.In this case, work is done against the gravity. Here, force is the weight of the person and displacement is the vertical distance covered, since both the person weighs the same and covers the same vertical distance, so they have done the same amount of work

Kinematics

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…
