Power expended by Gerry expend in her running upstairs is 533.33 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is the ratio of work to time.

Work is the product of force and displacement.

Work = Force x Displacement

W = F x s

W = 500 x 8 = 4000 J


\texttt{Power = }\frac{\texttt{Work}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Power = }(4000)/(7.5)\\\\\texttt{Power = }533.33W

Power expended by Gerry expend in her running upstairs is 533.33 Hz
