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.

Arturiano [62]

Speed is different from velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity and has a direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and does not require a direction. The answer must be D).

Describe the difference between the currents that exist in the wires leading to a capacitor when these wires are connected to (a
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation: In DC circuit, the current will flow for a short time, which is required to charge the capacitor. Once you switch it on, it spikes and the gradually decreases to almost zero (0) as the capacitor becomes fully charged.

In an AC circuit, the circuit acts as if the current is flowing throw the plates whereas is not actually flowing. The circuit acts like the AC is flowing through the capacitor.

A 72.9-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when moving at a speed of 4.02 m/s. The coefficient of friction between
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

-589.05 J

Explanation:

Using work-kinetic energy theorem, the work done by friction = kinetic energy change of the base runner

So, W = ΔK

W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²) where m = mass of base runner = 72.9 kg, v₀ = initial speed of base runner = 4.02 m/s and v₁ = final speed of base runner = 0 m/s(since he stops as he reaches home base)

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg((0 m/s)² - (4.02 m/s)²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(0 m²/s² - 16.1604 m²/s²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(-16.1604 m²/s²)

W = 1/2 × (-1178.09316 kgm²/s²)

W = -589.04658 kgm²/s²

W = -589.047 J

W ≅ -589.05 J
