Problem

Three students each lift the same 10 kg10\,\text{kg} backpack from the floor to a shelf 2.0 m2.0\,\text{m} high. Student A takes 1.0 s1.0\,\text{s}, student B takes 2.0 s2.0\,\text{s}, and student C takes 4.0 s4.0\,\text{s}. Which ranking correctly orders the students’ average power outputs, from greatest to least? (a) C>B>AC > B > A (b) A=B=CA = B = C (c) A>B>CA > B > C (d) B>A>CB > A > C
