Answer:

Power output = 2\times 10^4\ W

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the elevator is, m=1000\ kg

Height to which it is raised is, h=10\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=10\ m/s^2(Approximately)

Time taken by the motor to raise the elevator is, t=5.0\ s

Now, work done on the elevator by the motor is equal to the increase in the gravitational potential energy of the elevator.

Increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

\Delta U=mgh=(1000)(10)(10)=10\times 10^4\ J

Therefore, work done by motor is, W=10\times 10^4\ J

Now, we know that, power is work done in unit time. So, power output is given as:

Power=\frac{W}{t}\\\\Power=\frac{10\times 10^4\ J}{5.0\ s}\\\\Power=2\times 10^4\ J/s\\\\Power=2\times 10^4\ W..........[1 W = 1\ J/s]

Therefore, the power output of the first motor is 2\times 10^4\ W

What is the difference between the spectrum of an incandescent solid and the spectrum of an incandescent gas?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

ncandescent solids emit continuous spectra; incandescent gases emit bright-line spectra.

Explanation:

Materials when heated emit a continuous spectrum with all wavelengths.

Hot gas gases emit a spectrum that depends on the transitions between atomic states, therefore it is a discrete spectrum.

When reviewing the answers, the correct one is:

ncandescent solids emit continuous spectra; incandescent gases emit bright-line spectra.

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will
vitfil [10]

The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2)

From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial velocity

\theta is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the piece of paper in this problem,

u = 4.3 m/s

\theta=65^{\circ}

Substituting,

d=\frac{(4.3)^2 sin(2\cdot 65^{\circ})}{9.8}=1.45 m \sim 1.4 m
