Lake point tower in chicago is the tallest apartment building in the united states. suppose you take the elevator from street le

vel to the roof of the building. the elevator moves almost the entire distance at constant speed, so that it does 1.15x10^5j of work on you as it lifts the entire distance. if your mass is 60.0 kg how tall is the building.

Using the idea of work done under gravity, the height of the building is 187 m.

<h3>Work done in a gravitational field</h3>

We must recall that the work done in a gravitational field is given by; mgh

m= mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

mass = 60.0 kg

Workdone = 1.15x10^5 J

W = mgh

h = W/mg

h =  1.15x10^5 J/60.0 kg * 9.8 ms-2

h = 187 m

How long will it take a 2190 W motor to lift a 1.47 x 104 g box, 6.34 x 104 mm vertically.​
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

4.2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power = 2190W

Mass of box = 1.47 x 10⁴g

distance  = 6.34 x 10⁴mm

Unknown:

Time  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done;

 Mathematically;

        Power  = \frac{work done}{time}  

   Time  = \frac{work done}{power}  

 Work done  = weight x height

 convert mass to kg;

     100g = 1kg;

           1.47 x 10⁴g  = 14.7kg

convert the height to m;

          1000mm = 1m

          6.34 x 10⁴mm gives 63.4m

  Work done  = 14.7 x 9.8 x 63.4 = 9133.4J

  Time taken = \frac{9133.4}{2190}   = 4.2s

Abdou was explaining to a classmate that graphite is a good lubricant
balu736 [363]

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other.

<h3>Why is graphite a solid lubricant?</h3>

We know that graphite is composed of layers. These hexagonal layers are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces and as such are able to slide over each other. The carbon atom in each layer are held together by strong covalent bonds.

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other and as such make the graphite fluid.

Thus, the image that shows these layers of graphite is attached to this an answer

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in mid air, and brings it from rest up to a speed of 25 m/s in 0.05 s. if the mass of the paper
zepelin [54]
Ok, so you've got to figure out a force F and you have the speed in which the boxer punches on determinate time and the mass of the sheet of paper.

So based on the formula that says that the Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration => F=ma.
You look at it and see that you only have mass which is measured on KG so there is no problem.
then you have the acceleration which is measured on meters and is defined by: a = Δv/Δt 
So now you can replace the velocity and the time you have there
⇒ a 25m/s / 0.05s 
you have computing that ⇒ 50m because the seconds were cancelled out.
and then you plug the meters into the force equation.
F=(0.005kg)(50)
F=0.25N
so the boxer will have a force of 0.25 Newton's.

1.When you give one set of washers a downward push, does it move as easily as the other set? Does it stop before it reaches the
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:No, it doesn't move easily downward because it will try to resist the movement ,due to a resistance force of inertia that it possess at rest.

Explanation:when an object has higher or larger mass it tends to resist any motion given to it unlike the one with lower mass.

The larger the mass the more resistance force an object has.
