Answer:

    Q = 735 J

Explanation:

In this exercise we must assume that all the mechanical energy of the system transforms into cemite energy.

Initial energy

        Em₀ = U = m g h

final energy

        Em_{f} = Q

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        m g h = Q

let's calculate

        Q = 30  9.8  2.5

        Q = 735 J

Answer:

The direction of magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire is given by the right hand thumb rule. If the thumb points in the direction of current the fingers curl along the direction of magnetic field.

further, The red end of the compass needle points in the direction of external magnetic field. As the red end of the needle is pointing away from us, the external magnetic field at its location should also be directed away from us. Using the right hand thumb rule, we can see that this is only possible if the current in the wire is flowing upwards.

An elevator weighing 2,200 lbs is raised one story in 20 seconds. If the distance between stories is 10 feet, the power develope
Harman [31]
To calculate for the power developed in the elevator motor in ft.lb/s, we multiply the distance and the weight of the elevator and divide the product by the time.
                       Power = (10 ft)(2200 lb) / 20 s = 1100 ft.lb/s

Next, convert the calculated value to HP. 
                              1100 ft.lb/s x (1 HP/ 550 ft.lb/s) = 2 HP
