A 60.0-kg person is in an elevator with a mass of 2000 kg. The elevator moves vertically up through a distance of 24.0 m with a

constant speed of 4.00 m/s. How much work is done on this elevator system? Use g=10.0m/s^2.

The mass of the (elevator + person) is (2,000 kg + 60 kg) = 2,060 kg .

The weight is (mass x gravity) = (2,060 x 10) = 20,600 newtons

Work = (force x distance) = (20,600 newtons x 24m) = <em>494,400 joules</em>

The speed, acceleration, and how much time it takes don't make any
difference, unless you want the average power during the lift.

         Power = (work)/(time) =
           494,000 J / (24/4 m) =
           494,000 J / 6 sec = <em><u>82,400 watts</u></em>      wow !

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3. western slope

Explanation:

If we investigate the physical features (such as natural and artificial features) of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located at the California's central valley eastern part, the western slope has the highest value of the precipitation level yearly. This is due to the location of the slope and the relevant conditions such as temperature and humidity.

Carlos pushes a 3 kg box with a force of 9 newtons. The force of friction on the box is 3 newtons in the opposite direction. Wha
Ivenika [448]
The 'net' force acting on the box is (9 - 3) = 6 newtons
in the direction that Carlos is pushing.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

6 = (3) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 3 :

<em>2 m/s² = acceleration</em>

As shown above an adhesive has been applied to contacting faces of two blocks so that the blocks interact with an adhesive force
rusak2 [61]

The magnitude of the adhesive force allows the top block to remain

attached to the bottom when the blocks and the wire are balanced.

The option that must be true is; \mathbf{W_{bottom} = F_{adhesion}}

Reason:

The tension exerted by the wire attached to the top block = T

Magnitude of the adhesive = F_{adhesion}

Weight of the top block = W_{top}

Weight of the bottom block = W_{bottom}

Given that with the exertion of the tension, the two blocks remain at rest, we have;

  • T =  W_{top} + W_{bottom}

The adhesive causes the bottom block to remain attached to the top block, we have;

Therefore, the magnitude of the adhesive force adds the bottom weight, to the top, weight, which gives;

The magnitude of the adhesive force = The weight of the bottom block

Therefore;

  • W_{bottom} = F_{adhesion}
