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

If your body is dehydrated, the control center in the brain will stimulate the release of a hormone which causes the reabsorptio
Yanka [14]

Answer:

It is an example of negative feedback mechanism

Explanation:

Negative feedback mechanism is the process by which the output of a system, process or mechanism is fed back into the input in order to reduce the error in the system.

In the system described in this question, the reabsorption of water is the output, a feedback signal is sent to the control center, which is the input in order to control the release of the hormone responsible for reabsorption of water into the blood.

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.
Lesechka [4]

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it. Because the contact between the bolt and the   pliers working surface is less.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage ?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, it is used to obtained efficiency of the given mechanical machine.

The efficiency to open the stubborn bolt depends upon the contact between the working surface of the pliers and the bolt.

The contact between the bolt and the top pair of pliers working surface is less. Its mechanical advantage is less.

Hence, the top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.

To learn more about the mechanical advantage, refer to the link;

How does the size of a planet affected the amount and type of gas in its atmosphere
dalvyx [7]
There are lots of variables that directly and indirectly contribute to the presence of gas on a surface
if the size of a planet is relatively small it will in turn be that of a smaller area which results in the less area to be covered for gas which basically means higher presence
I can go in depth more but I don't think that would be necessary all you need to know is this ...based on the size and gas will in turn be parallel to it's conformity
