A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of 200 m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seat

three people. The lift is operating at a steady speed of 10 km/h. Neglecting friction and air drag, and assuming that the average mass of each loaded chair is 250 kg, determine the power required to operate this ski lift. Also, estimate the power required to accelerate this ski lift in 14 s to its operating speed when it is first turned on.
The power required to accelerate this ski life in 14 s to its operating speed is ______ kW.

Power is needed for (1) acceleration and (2) lifting the loaded chairs. These two parts can be calculated separately and then added together.

(1) Power for acceleration:

The final speed of the lift is

V=(10 km/h)(1 h×1000 m60 sec×1 km)=2.887 m/s.

Then the power needed is

Pa=12m(V2−V20)/Δt=12(50×250 kg)(2.778 m/s)2=9.6 kW.

(2) Power for lift

Assume that the acceleration is constant (i.e. power supply is constant), its value will be

a=ΔVΔt=2.778 m/s5 s=0.556 m/s2.

Then the vertical lift during acceleration will be

(12at2)×(2001000)=1.36 m.

Hence, the power needed to increase the potential energy of the lift is

Pg=mgΔhΔt=(50×250 kg) (9.89 m/s2)(1.36 m)/(5 s)=3.41 kW.

Then the total Power required is

Ptotal=Pa+Pg=9.6+34.1=43.7 kW.

As a pole of a 2nd-order discrete-time system moves away from the origin in the z-plane, while its phase remains constant, the d
Rudik [331]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

When the location of the poles changes in the z-plane, the natural or resonant frequency (ω₀) changes which in turn changes the damped frequency (ωd) of the system.

As the poles of a 2nd-order discrete-time system moves away from the origin then natural frequency (ω₀) increases, which in turn increases damped oscillation frequency (ωd) of the system.

ωd = ω₀√(1 - ζ)

Where ζ is called damping ratio.

For small value of ζ

ωd ≈ ω₀

An oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen nuclei, each of massm= 2.7×10−26kg,separated by a distance 1.2×10−10m, and surrounded
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a)  I = 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ Kg m²

, b)   I = 7,915 10⁻⁵¹ Kg m²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia of point masses is

                 I = m r²

   

The nuclei have a very small size (10-15 m) so we can consider them punctual.

The distance to the center of mass passing through the middle of the two nuclei of equal mass

       r = 0.6 10⁻¹⁰ m

The moment of total inertia

       I = I₁ + I₂ = 2 I₀

       I = 2 2.7 10⁻²⁶ (0.6 10⁻¹⁰)²

       I = 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ Kg m²

The kinetic energy of the rotation is

      w = h / 2π

      K = ½ I w²

      K = ½ 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ (h / 2π)² = ½ 1.944 10⁻⁴⁶ (6.63 10⁻³⁴ / 2π)²

      K = 2.16 10⁻¹¹⁴ J (1eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

      K = 2.16 10⁻⁹⁵ eV

B) the moment of inertia of the electron in the orbit, we can calculate it with the parallel axis theorem

       I =I_{cm} + m R²

       I = m_{e} r² +  m_{e} R²

Where R we calculate it by Pythagoras

      R² = (0.6 10⁻¹⁰)² + (0.5 10⁻¹⁰) 2

      R = √ (0.61 10⁻²⁰)

      R = 0.78 10⁻¹⁰ m

      I = 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.5 10⁻¹⁰)² + 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.78 10⁻¹⁰)²

      I = (2,275 +5.54) 10⁻⁵¹

      I = 7,915 10⁻⁵¹ Kg m²

The rotation energy of the electron

      K = ½ I w²

If the angular velocity is the electrons outside the core, its kinetic energy is much lower by an order 10⁵, but the angular velocity of the electrons is much higher.

The diagram shows a pot sitting on a gas stove burner. Which shows the order in which thermal energy is transferred by conductio
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The question is not improper, But I will try to explain your doubt.

  • The pot and part of stove are obviously in contact with each other. It is known <em>as conduction</em>
  • The pot on gas stove burner, the air above the stove is heated and because  it is gas moves upwards, this is <em>convection</em>. The bottom of the pot and surface of the stove are not 100% flat. Thats why there will be little pockets of air underneath the pot,even if you place it on the stove.

If we heat up the stove as much as then it turns to red, this visible sign is known as<em> radiation.</em>

<em>Therefore all the 3 kinds of heat transfer takes place</em>
