An elevator weighing 2,200 lbs is raised one story in 20 seconds. If the distance between stories is 10 feet, the power develope

d by the elevator motor is ______ ft • lb/s. The power of the motor required for the elevator is _____ H.P.

To calculate for the power developed in the elevator motor in ft.lb/s, we multiply the distance and the weight of the elevator and divide the product by the time.
Power = (10 ft)(2200 lb) / 20 s = 1100 ft.lb/s

Next, convert the calculated value to HP.
1100 ft.lb/s x (1 HP/ 550 ft.lb/s) = 2 HP

Which of these best explains the ability of small insects to walk on the surface of still water?

Furkat [3]

Well, the surface of still water has surface tension. If there isn't enough mass or weight to break the surface tension, the object will float.

How fast is a wave traveling if it has a wavelength of 7 meters and a frequency of 11 Hz?

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{77 \: m/s}}}}$

☯ Question :

How fast is a wave travelling if it has a wavelength of 7 meters and a frequency of 11 Hz?

☯ $\underbrace{ \sf{Required \: Answer : }}$

☥ Given :

Wavelength ( λ ) = 7 meters
Frequency ( f ) = 11 Hz

☥ To find :

Speed of sound ( v ) = ?

☄ We know ,

$\boxed{ \sf{v = f \times λ}}$

where ,

v = speed of sound
f = frequency
λ = wavelength

Now, substitute the values and solve for v.

➺ $\sf{v = 11 \times 7}$

➺ $\boxed{ \sf{v = 77 \: m/s}}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------

✑ Additional Info :

Frequency : The number of complete vibrations made by a particle of a body in one second is called it's frequency. It is denoted by the letter f . The SI unit of frequency is hertz ( Hz ).

Wavelength : The distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a sound wave is called wavelength of that wave. It is denoted by λ ( lambda ) and it's SI unit is m.

Speed of a sound wave : The distance covered by a sound wave in one second is called speed of sound wave. It depends on the product of wavelength and frequency of the wave.

W=90 kg×4n/kg<br>Please halp me i need it

kiruha [24]

I'm guessing that this is a problem to find the weight of a 90kg mass on a planet where the acceleration of gravity is 4 m/s^2. (Much less gravity than Earth, a little more than Mars.)

Just do the multiplication, and you get

360 Newtons.

What is the kinetic energy of a 9.0 kg steelhead if its speed is 16 m/s?

Vesnalui [34]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of the Steelhead(m) = 9 kg

Velocity of the Steelhead(v) = 16 m/s

<u>Calculating the Kinetic Energy:</u>

KE = 1/2mv²

replacing the variables

KE = 1/2 * 9 * (16)²

KE = 1152 Joules

A wave pulse travels down a slinky. The mass of the slinky is m = 0.87 kg and is initially stretched to a length L = 6.8 m. The

Ber [7]

Answer:

1. $v=14.2259\ m.s^{-1}$

2. $F_T=25.8924\ N$

3. $\lambda=29.6373\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of slinky, $m=0.87\ kg$

length of slinky, $L=6.8\ m$

amplitude of wave pulse, $A=0.23\ m$

time taken by the wave pulse to travel down the length, $t=0.478\ s$

frequency of wave pulse, $f=0.48\ Hz=0.48\ s^{-1}$

1.

$\rm Speed\ of\ wave\ pulse=Length\ of\ slinky\div time\ taken\ by\ the\ wave\ to\ travel$

$v=\frac{6.8}{0.478}$

$v=14.2259\ m.s^{-1}$

2.

<em>Now, we find the linear mass density of the slinky.</em>

$\mu=\frac{m}{L}$

$\mu=\frac{0.87}{6.8}\ kg.m^{-1}$

We have the relation involving the tension force as:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu} }$

$14.2259=\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\frac{0.87}{6.8}} }$

$202.3774=F_T\times \frac{6.8}{0.87}$

$F_T=25.8924\ N$

3.

We have the relation for wavelength as:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

$\lambda=\frac{14.2259}{0.48}$

$\lambda=29.6373\ m$
