First, you must find work.

Work is W=FS, F being force (or weight in this case) and S being displacement>

Your force will be the mass of the person (49 kg) times the force of gravity (9.8 m/s^2) When you multiply those two you get 480.2 N as your F.

Plug it into the work formula- W=480.2(5.0).......the 5 m is your displacement. You get 2401 J for work.

Now you can find Power using what we found for work and time which is 20 seconds.

Power=Work/Time, or P=2401/20.

For Power we get 120.05 W (watts)

The power needed is 122.5 Watts. This can be calculated by using the formula: Power = (Force x Distance) / Time. In this case, the force needed to lift the person is the weight of the person, which is equal to mass x gravity, where gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Then, Power = (49kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 5.0m) / 20.0s.

How is power defined in physical science?

In physical science, power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It quantifies the amount of energy transferred or work done per unit of time, typically measured in watts (W) in the International System of Units. Power is calculated as the product of force and velocity in mechanics or the product of voltage and current in electricity.

How do you determine personal horse power of the experimenter?

Your question makes no sense at all. Rephrase it. > If you want the maximum power rating out of a person, use a power calibrated rowing machine. > If you want legs power rating, time yourself running up a flight of stairs as fast as you can, you need to know the vertical rise of the staircase. (power = potential energy change / time) ((your mass * 9.80665) * total vertical rise) / time = power (watts)
