Answer:
Explanation:
Recall the formula for acceleration:
, where
is final velocity,
is initial velocity, and
is elapsed time (change in velocity over this amount of time).
Let's look at our time vs velocity graph. At t=0 seconds, V=25 m/s. So her initial velocity is 25 m/s.
We want to find the acceleration during the first 5 seconds of motion. Well, looking at our graph, at t=5 seconds, isn't our velocity still 25 m/s? Therefore, final velocity is 25 m/s (for this period of 5 seconds).
We are only looking from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds which is a total period of 5 seconds. Therefore, elapsed time is 5 seconds.
Substituting values in our formula, we have:
Alternative:
Without even worrying about plugging in numbers, let's think about what acceleration actually is! Acceleration is the change in velocity over a certain period of time. If we are not changing our velocity at all, we aren't accelerating! In the graph, we can see that we have a straight line from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds, the interval we are worried about. This indicates that our velocity is staying the same! At t=0 seconds, we have a velocity of 25 m/s and that velocity stays the same until t=5 seconds. Even though we are moving, we haven't changed velocity, which means our average acceleration is zero!
Answer:
208.33 W
141.26626 seconds
Explanation:
E = Energy =
t = Time taken = 8 h
m = Mass = 2000 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = Height of platform = 1.5 m
Power is obtained when we divide energy by time
The average useful power output of the person is 208.33 W
The energy in the next part would be the potential energy
The time taken would be
The time taken to lift the load is 141.26626 seconds
