DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a straightforward one-step calculation requiring only the basic power formula P = mgh/t with all values directly given. It requires simple recall and substitution with no problem-solving, making it significantly easier than average A-level questions.
Spec6.02l Power and velocity: P = Fv

1 A child of mass 35 kg runs up a flight of stairs in 10 seconds. The vertical distance climbed is 4 m . Assuming that the child's speed is constant, calculate the power output.

Question 1:
