An electric hoist is used to lift a 235.0 kg load to a height of 69.0 m in 38.1 s. (a) what is the power of the hoist in kw?

1 answer:

4 0

$Given:\\m=235.0kg\\h=69.0m\\t=38.1s\\g=9.81 \frac{m}{s^2} \\\\Find:\\P=?\\\\Solution:\\\\P= \frac{W}{t}\\\\W=\Delta E_p\\\\E_p_0=0\Rightarrow \Delta E_p=E_p\\\\E_p=mgh \\\\P= \frac{mgh}{t} \\\\P= \frac{235kg\cdot9.81 \frac{m}{s^2}\cdot69m}{38.1s} \approx 4175W=4.175kW$

Answer:

Option A nuclear

Explanation:

The rate of electricity production in nuclear power plant is much higher as compared to the rate of electricity generation in gas, wind and solar power plants.

Thus, in case where large amount of electricity is to be produced in a short period then one must rely on nuclear power plants.

Therefore, option A is correct

Minchanka [31]

D, all notebooks would hit the floor at the same time. The time it takes to hit the floor is independent of their weight, but rather dependent on the acceleration of gravity. Since gravity is constant, they will all hit the floor at the same time.

A diver jumps off a diving platform that is 20 meters long. Describe the transfer of energy that occurs during the fall.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by

$E=mgh$

where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.
