You carry a 50-N weight up a flight of stairs that is 3 m high in 10 s. then you carry 40 N up two flights of stairs in 20 s. Finally, you carry 30 N up three flights in 45 s. Is the job that took the most power the same as the job that took the most energy? Explain.

No it is not the same you can use more power than the other but you’re using it for a shorter amount of time so your using less energy than if you where to go up 3 flights of stairs
