Two electric motors drive two elevators of equal mass in a three-story building 10 meters tall. Each elevator has a mass of 1,00

0 kg. The first elevator can do this work in 5.0 seconds. Calculate the power output of the first motor.

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 $2\times 10^4\ W$

Carbon dioxide in a piston-‐‐cylinder is expanded in a polytropic manner. The initialtemperature and pressure are 400 K and 550

Arisa [49]

Answer:

q_poly = 14.55 KJ/kg

Explanation:

Given:

Initial State:

P_i = 550 KPa

T_i = 400 K

Final State:

T_f = 350 K

Constants:

R = 0.189 KJ/kgK

k = 1.289 = c_p / c_v

n = 1.2 (poly-tropic index)

Find:

Determine the heat transfer per kg in the process.

Solution:

-The heat transfer per kg of poly-tropic process is given by the expression:

q_poly = w_poly*(k - n)/(k-1)

- Evaluate w_poly:

w_poly = R*(T_f - T_i)/(1-n)

w_poly = 0.189*(350 - 400)/(1-1.2)

w_poly = 47.25 KJ/kg

-Hence,

q_poly = 47.25*(1.289 - 1.2)/(1.289-1)

q_poly = 14.55 KJ/kg

A lighthouse is located on a small island, 3 km away from the nearest point on a straight shoreline, and its light makes four re

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The beam of light is moving at the peed of:

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3}$ km/min

Given:

Distance from the isalnd, d = 3 km

No. of revolutions per minute, n = 4

Solution:

Angular velocity, $\omega = \frac{d\theta'}{dt} = 2\pi n = 2\pi \times 4 = 8\pi$ (1)

Now, in the right angle in the given fig.:

$tan\theta' = \frac{y}{3}$

Now, differentiating both the sides w.r.t t:

$\frac{dtan\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

Applying chain rule:

$\frac{dtan\theta'}{d\theta'}.\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

$sec^{2}\theta'\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt} = (1 + tan^{2}\theta')\frac{d\theta'}{dt}$

Now, using $tan\theta = \frac{1}{m}$ and y = 1 in the above eqn, we get:

$(1 + (\frac{1}{3})^{2})\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

Also, using eqn (1),

$8\pi\frac{10}{9})\theta' = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3}$

Maslowich

Answer:

For areas marked X, Y, Z, X is attractive only, Y has a very small range, and Z is attractive and repulsive

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

From the question stated, Anna drew a diagram to compare forces that are strong and weak.

Now,

We are to find which labels are grouped in areas marked as X, Y, Z respectively.

Thus,

For X, Y, Z it is marked as:

X: Always attractive or attractive only

Y: Very small range

Z: Repulsive and attractive

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit

zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

$F=qE$

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

$q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C$

$E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C$ (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

$F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N$

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.
