An escalator and an elevator can transport a person from one floor to the next. the escalator does it in 15 s and the elevator takes 10 s. Which does more work on the person? Which has the greater power output?

The escalator does more work and the elevator has a greater power output.

Explanation:

The escalator does more work on the person because it is carrying them up. It also gives the person a chance to walk up the escalator making it a little more challenging than using just an elevator. The elevator has a greater power output because it can transport a person from one floor to another in just 10 seconds where as the escalator can do it in 15.

Hope this helps!

c. newton's third law of motion

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
