An 80kg man on a step-exercise machine climbs a staircase 3.0m high in 8.5s. If he works at the same rate to drive a pedal-operated generator with an efficiency of 75%, how...
Please continue. However, your argument among yourselves about 'how' I should consider this problem is taking up more valuable revision time than I can afford, with exams quickly approaching. While I do appreciate all offers of assistance, I am best to take advise about 'how' to solve this...
Hmm! Who'd have thought this question would have sparked such a fiery joust.
I am studying a pre-university foundation course and feel that there is enough information in these posts for me to take and use correctly. I shall use my own judgement on this part.
The purpose of this study is...
There are only 2 forces acting on the ball
The centripetal force of Tension acting toward the centre and the weight acting downward.
I just read that the tension provides component forces to balance the weight of the mass and provide centripetal force.
It said 'forces'. So do I need to break...
