The power of a motor is 60kW. At what speed can it raise a load of 50000

Well right off the bat, you've handed us a serious problem.  You left the unit off of the 50,000, so we don't know the single most important thing that we need to know about the load.

Is the load 50,000 kilograms ? 50,000 Newtons ? 50,000 pounds ?  Each of these will have a different answer.

Since you didn't specify the unit, I can make it anything I want, and I can pick the unit to make the problem easy to solve.  

So I'm going to say that the load weighs 50,000 Newtons, and now I shall proceed to solve the problem that I have invented.

If you're using a motor that's marked "60 kW", that number is the maximum safe power the motor can deliver without overheating and breaking down.  In order to raise our 50,000N load as fast as possible, we'll run the motor at its maximum rated power of 60 kW.  That means it'll do 60,000 Joules of work for us every second.

Power = 60,000 Joules/second

Power = 60,000 Newton-meters/second

60,000 Newton-meters/sec = (50,000 Newton) x S meters/sec.

Divide each side by 50,000 Newtons:

S = (60,000 Newton-m/sec) / (50,000 Newton)

S = (60,000/50,000) meter/sec

<em>Speed = 1.2 meters/sec </em>

Our 60 kW motor can raise the load at the speed of 1.2 m/s or any slower, but no faster than that.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

d. This statement is false. She and the Space Station share the same orbit and will stay together unless they are pushed apart.

Explanation:

In astronomy, orbit is simply a path of an object around another object in a space. That is, orbit is a path of a body that revolves around a gravitating center of mass. Examples of an orbit is are satellite around a planet, orbit around a center of galaxy, planet around the sun, and among others.

On the other hand, space station refers to a spacecraft that can support a group of human for long time in the orbit. Another names for space stations are orbital space station and orbital station.

Therefore, an astronaut goes on a space walk outside the Space Station shares the same orbit with the space station and they will stay together unless they are pushed apart.

What two factors affect the rate of acceleration of an object?
Masja [62]

For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

                                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have:                            Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us:  The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.

Why won't a very bright beam of red light impart more energy to an ejected electron than a feeble beam of violet light?
bearhunter [10]
This is related to the energy carried by photons of light the energy of each photon is proportional to the frequency of the light since red light has a lower frequency then violet light and photons of red light carry less energy than the photons of violet light as a result the red protons eject electrons that have less energy than the ejected electrons by Violet photons
