A person is moving boxes up the stairs in their new home. They have two identical boxes, with same the size and mass. The first box is easy to carry up the stairs. When moving the second box, the person is more tired and moves more slowly. Which statement accurately describes the work and power between the two trials?

Because the boxes are the same mass and are moving the same distance, the work done will remain the same between the two instances. Work does not depend on time:
However, when carrying the second box, the person moves more slowly. The overall time increases, which leads to a decrease in power.

The definition of power is:
The work done on the box to lift it is required in order to overcome the force of gravity. If we can find the force of gravity on the object, we can calculate the net force. The force of gravity on any object near the Earth's surface is:
The definition of work is:
We can substitute the force of gravity for the net force, resulting in the equation:
Substituting this into our power equation, we find:
Plugging in our given values and constants, we find:

Power is determined by calculating the work output per unit time. In this case, power will be the product of torque and angular velocity:
We are given values for our torque and our power output, allowing us to solve for the angualr velocity. Keep in mind that the power output is going to be 50% of the maximum.
