Construct Your Own Problem Consider a person climbing and descending stairs. Construct a problem in which you calculate the long-term rate at which stairs can be climbed considering the mass of the person, his ability to generate power with his legs, and the height of a single stair step. Also consider why the same person can descend stairs at a faster rate for a nearly unlimited time in spite of the fact that very similar forces are exerted going down as going up. (This points to a fundamentally different process for descending versus climbing stairs.)

The mover in problem 13 uses a ramp, which makes the task easier by requiring a smaller force to raise the crate to the truck bed. This force must be exerted over a greater distance, so the work done should be the same. In reality, because of the frictional force between the crate and the ramp, the work required is greater than that needed to lift the crate directly onto the truck. The mover does 4365 J of work sliding the crate up the ramp. The force the mover exerts on the crate is 1302 N. How long is the ramp?
Please answer the following question
A car with mass 1520 kg is traveling down the highway at a speed of 18 m/s when the driver slams on the brakes due to an accident up ahead. The car eventually comes to rest.According to the work-energy theorem the work is related to the change in kinetic energy, Wnet = Δ KE = KEfinal - KEinitial.(a) Using the work-energy relationship, determine how much net work is done on the car from the brakes? Report the magnitude of the the work (positive value) even though the work from brakes will be negative since the car is slowing down._____ J(b) The brakes apply a force of 24000 N to the car in order to make it stop. Using the fact that W = F d and the fact that the you found the work done (magnitude) by the brakes in part (b), determine the stopping distance, d, of the car.____ m
