      Compare the power at which each of the following is moving upwards against the force of gravity? [given, ] (i) A butterfly of mass 1.0 g that flies upward at a rate of 0.5 ms-1. (ii) A 250 g squirrel climbing upon a tree at a rate of 0.5 ms-1 .  

    Answer:

      (i) Given, mass of butterfly and speed             Power = Force x Speed      P = mgv                            (ii) Given, mass of squirrel and Power = Force x speed          [Force, F = mg]            Therefore, squirrel has more power than butterfly.
