Question

A person runs up several flights of stairs and is exhausted at the top. Later the same person walks up the same stairs and does not feel as tired. Ignoring air resistance, does it take more work to run up the stairs than to walk up?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done by the person depends on its mass and the height raised. It also depends on the acceleration due to gravity.

As the height raised and the mass of person is same. The value of acceleration due to gravity is also constant So, the work done is also same in both the cases.
