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

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

The distance from home plate to the pitchers mound is 18.5 meters. For a pitcher capable of throwing at 3.85m/s(86mi/hr), how mu

Taya2010 [7]

Given that:

Distance , s = 18.5 m

Velocity , v = 3.85 m/s

Time , t =?

Since,

Velocity = distance/time

Time= distance/velocity

time= 18.5/ 3.85

time= 4.8 s

So the time elapse between the release of the ball and the ball passing home plate is 4.8 seconds.

A ferry approaches shore, moving north with a speed of 6.2 m/s relative to the dock. A person on the ferry walks from one side o

jasenka [17]

Speed of Ferry is towards North with magnitude 6.2 m/s

Here if we assume that North direction is along Y axis and East is along X axis then we can say

$\vec v_f = 6.2 \hat j$

Now a person walk on ferry with speed 1.5 m/s towards east with respect to Ferry

so it is given as

$\vec v_{pf} = 1.5 \hat i$

also by the concept of relative motion we know that

$\vec v_{pf} = \vec v_p - \vec v_f$

now plug in all values in it

$1.5 \hat i = \vec v_p - 6.2 \hat j$

$\vec v_p = 1.5 \hat i + 6.2 \hat j$

now if we need to find the speed of the person then we need to find its magnitude

so it is given as

$v = \sqrt{1.5^2 + 6.2^2}$

$v = 6.37 m/s$

A diver dives off of a raft - what happens to the diver? the raft? how does this relate to newton's third law? action force: ___

kondaur [170]

<span>Actually newtons third law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, Hence here in this case, the diver diving of a raft is the action, after which surely reaction should come in the form where the raft and the driver will rebound with same speed back, and hence here the action force is diving and reaction force is rebounding from the diving place, with same intensity.</span>
