A 60-kg jogger runs up a long flight of stairs in 4.0 s. The vertical height of the
stairs is 4.5 m.
a. Estimate the jogger's power
output in watts and horsepower.
b. How much energy did this
require?

The energy required is 2646 J and the jogger's power output 661.5 W.

Given here,

Mass of Jogger  = 60 kg

Time  = 4s

Vertical height  = 4.5 m

The power output of the jogger is defined as the rate of energy tranfer  work is done.

Power  =  W/t

Where,

W- work = mgh = 60 kg  x  9.8 m/s² x 4.5 m = 2646 J

t - time - 4 s

Put the values, we get

Power = 661.5W

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Jogger  = 60kg

Time  = 4s

Vertical height  = 4.5m

Unknown:

Jogger's power output  = ?

Energy required  = ?

Solution:

The power output of the jogger is defined as the rate at which work is done.

 Power  =  

Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Work done = Force x distance = mgh

   m is the mass

   g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

    h is the height

  Work done  = 60 x 9.8 x 4.5  = 2646J

 Power =   = 661.5W

Energy required;

 The work done here is also the energy required;

 Energy required  = 2646J

i am single too don't feel bad

are their multiple choices ?
