Final answer:

The power output for the woman can be calculated using the work-energy principle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The power output for a 60.0-kg woman who runs up a 3.00 m high flight of stairs in 3.50 s can be calculated using the work-energy principle.

First, we can determine the gravitational potential energy gained by the woman: PE = mgh. Next, we can determine the work done by the woman to reach her final speed (v) using the equation: W = (1/2)mv^2. Finally, we can calculate the power using the equation: Power = Work / Time. By plugging in the given values, we can find the power output.
