Answer:

12500 W (12.5 kW)

Explanation:

The total weight of the passenger + elevator is

$F_g = 500 N + 24500 N=25000 N$

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):

$W=F_g d = (25000 N)(30 m)=750,000 J$

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

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

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

$P=\frac{750,000 J}{60 s}=12,500 W=12.5 kW$

Why do deer depend on plants to survive

jarptica [38.1K]

Deer depend on plants to survive because they are herbivores. Herbivores are animals that only eats plants and fruits in order to survive. Deer's meal includes grass and evergreen plants. If grass is unavailable, they eat whatever food like fallen leaves, twigs, bushes and other woody plants.

When an unbalanced force acts on an object,

Gwar [14]

When balanced forces follow up on an object, the object won't move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.

Two bodies of masses 1000kg and 2000kg are separated 1km which is the gravitational force between them

denpristay [2]

Answer:

1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the gravitational constant,

M and m are the masses of the objects,

and r is the distance between them.

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ N/m²/kg²) (1000 kg) (2000 kg) / (1000 m)²

F = 1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N

Which one of the following statements concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct? The equation can be used to calculate

Helen [10]

"The equation can be used to calculate the power absorbed by any surface" statement concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

According to Stefan Boltzmann equation, the power radiated by black body radiation source is directly proportionate to the fourth power of temperature of the source. So the radiation transferred is absorbed by another surface and that absorbed power will also be equal to the fourth power of the temperature. So the equation describes the relation of net radiation loss with the change in temperature from hotter temperature to cooler temperature surface.

$P=e \sigma A\left(T^{4}-T_{c}^{4}\right)$

So this law is application for calculating power absorbed by any surface.
