Answer:
The power output of the first motor is, P = 2.0 x 10⁴ watts
Explanation:
Given data,
The height of the building, h = 10 m
The mass of the elevator, m = 1000 kg
The time duration of the motor to do this work, t = 5.0 s
The force acting on the elevator,
F = m x g
= 1000 x 9.8
= 9800 N
The work done by the elevator,
W = F x h
= 9800 x 10
= 98000 J
The power output of the first motor,
P = W / t
= 98000 / 5
= 19600 watts
= 1.96 x 10⁴ watts
Hence, the power output of the first motor is, P = 2.0 x 10⁴ watts
When two forces act in the same direction, they add together. ... Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.
