Math Problem Statement
A person stands at rest on a slope which makes an angle 16 degrees to the horizontal. They have a mass of 73 kg. They start to run up the slope. After a time of 7.4 s they reach a distance 23 m up the slope and have a velocity of 3.0 m/s.
(a) Calculate the vertical height gained.
select units m kg s m/s m/s^2 N J W degrees none
(b) Determine how much energy the person has used.
select units m kg s m/s m/s^2 N J W degrees none
(c) Calculate the average power output of the person.

Formulas
Vertical height gained: h = d * sin(θ)
Kinetic energy: KE = 0.5 * m * v^2
Potential energy: PE = m * g * h
Total energy used = PE + KE
Average power output: P = Total energy / time
