A passenger weighing 500N is inside an elevator weighing 24500 N that rises 30 m every minute is 12500 W (12.5 kW).

What is Power?

Power is the amount of work that is done per unit of time. It can be associated with the speed of a change of energy within a system, or the time it takes to perform a job.

There are different types of power,

Mechanical power: is that work performed by an individual or a machine in a certain period of time.

Electric power: which is the result of the multiplication of the potential difference between the ends of a load and the current flowing there.

P= W/t

Where, P- Power,

W- Work

T- Time

The total weight of the passenger + elevator is

Fg = 500+24500

    = 25000

The total work done to rise the elevator + passenger is equal to the product between the total weight and the distance covered during the trip (d = 30 m):

W = Fgd

   = 25000×30

   =7,50,000 J.

The power needed for the trip is equal to the ratio between the work done (W) and the time taken (t):

P = W/t

Since the time taken is t = 1 min = 60 s, the power needed is

P = 750000 / 60

   = 12,500 W

P = 12.5 kW

Thus, Power was calculated as P = 12.5 kW.

Imagine a car moving at a speed of 10 m/s it starts speeding up at an acceleration of 2 m/s/s. What will the car's speed be afte
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

14 m/s

18 m/s

22 m/s

Explanation:

The car is moving at constant acceleration, so we can find its velocity at time t using the equation:

v=u+at

where

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity

a=2 m/s^2 is the  acceleration

t is the time

Substituting the different times, we find:

At t = 2 s:

v=10+(2)(2)=14 m/s

At t = 4 s:

v=10+2(4)=18 m/s

At t = 6 s:

v=10+2(6)=22 m/s

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

32.5 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave = frequency * wavelength

Velocity = 65 /s * 0.5 m

Velocity = 32.5 m/s

Which is a characteristic of projectile motion?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
<h2>Right answer: It follows a curved path </h2>

The movement of a projectile is a movement in two dimensions (forming a curved path: a parabola shape) with <u>constant acceleration. </u>

<u> </u>

A projectile is any body or object that is thrown or projected by means of some force and continues in motion by its own inertia. This means the only force that acts on it while in motion is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u> (in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).  

Where gravity influences the <u>vertical movement</u> of the projectile, while <u>the horizontal movement</u> of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object to remain in motion at a constant speed (according to Newton's 1st law of motion sometimes called Law of Inertia).

The other options are <u>incorrect</u> because are <u>false</u>:

-The forward motion negates air resistance: There is always at least a small percent of air resistance, as long as that movement is done on Earth.  

-It has variable acceleration: In projectile motion acceleration is constant (gravity acceleration) .

-It is unaffected by gravity: The only force that acts on the projectile is due gravity.
