In a physics lab, a 60-kg student runs up a 2.0-meter tall flight of stairs in 1.5 seconds. the work done to get to the top is 1200 joules. the student's power rating is approximately _w.

The student's power rating is approximately 800W.

Power is the rate of doing work. Its SI unit is Watt. 1 W = 1J/sec

Given: The work done to get to the top is 1200 Joules

Time = 1.5 seconds.

Power = 

Honestly "global warming" may be a slight possiblity, however they called it "climate change" because its not real, in fact we had one of our coldest days here not too long ago, and the "issues" with this subject is a blindfold for actual problems.

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
