- Patrick usually walks up three flights of stairs to his physics class without getting tired. However, on Monday, he is late for class and decides to run up the three flights of stairs. Although he did not run for a long period of time and traveled the same distance as normal, Foster feels more tired at the top of the stairs than on the days he walks. Use the concept of power to explain why he feels more tired.arrow_forwardA) A 1390 kg car accelerates uniformly from rest to 10.4 m/s in 2.87 s. Find the work done on the car in this time interval.
