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 !

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.
Vikentia [17]
The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:

</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

</span>FA = -FB<span>

If all this energy is added to 50 kg of water (the amount of water in a 165-lb person) at 37 ∘C, what is the final state of the
Reika [66]

Answer:

Vapors

Explanation:

We take into account that all the energy from the lightning has been transformed into steam.

\Delta U = Q -  W\\Q = mC \Delta T\\Q = mL

We calculate the amount of energy required by water to convert into steam.

Q_{water} = 50 \times \times 4180 \times (100-37)\\= 1.132 \times 10^7 \ J

Q_{change\ to\ steam} = 50 \times 2.256 \times 106 \\= 1.128 \times 10^8 \ J

Q_{total} = 1.132 \times 10^7 + 1.128 \times 10^8\\= 1.126 \times 10^8 \ J

From the lightning we received 10^{10} \ J of energy, out of which 1.126 \times 10^8 has been used to convert the water into steam.

Energy left = 10^{10} - 1.126 \times 10^8 = 9.88 \times 10^9 \ J

We use this energy to convert steam into vapors.

Q = \Delta E

Q = \Delta E = mc (T_{f} - T{i})\\T_{f} = \frac {\Delta E}{mc} + T_{i}\\ \\T_{f} = 100 + \frac{9.88 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1970}\\T_{f} = 100 + 10^8\\T_{f} = 10 ^{ \ 8} \ {^ \circ } C

With this temperature, we can easily interpret that the vapors will be dissociated in hydrogen and oxygen particles.
