An escalator carries you from one level to the next in an airport terminal. The upper level is 4.4m above the lower level, and the length of the escalator is 7.3m. Assume that your mass is 63kg.

Part A

How much work does the up escalator do on you when you ride it from the lower level to the upper level?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

W =

Part B

How much work does the down escalator do on you when you ride it from the upper level to the lower level?

    Part A W = 2772J

    Part B = - 2.772J

    Explanation:

    Work = force * distance

    Part A when you move from lower to upper level

    = mgh

    = 63 * 4.4*10

    =2772J

    =2.772KJ

    Part B

    When you move from upper to lower

    The acceleration due to gravity becomes negative - 10m/s^2

    Therefore Work = -2772KJ

    Work = - 2.772KJ
