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 !

Force of 10N down,10N to the right,and 5N to the left are acting on a ball .it acceleration horizontally to the right.what other
denpristay [2]

Answer:

A 10 N force pointing up

Explanation:

If the net acceleration of the object is horizontal pointing to the right, that means that all vertical forces must have canceled out, and the only ones "unbalanced" are the horizontal ones (10 N to the right minus 5 N to the left giving a net force of 5 N to the right).

Since they mentioned only one vertical force pointing down (10 N), there must be another one of same magnitude but pointing in opposite direction (up).

Then there must also be a 10 N force pointing up acting on the object.

1.) What causes ocean tides
BigorU [14]

Answer: Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon.
