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

A 12.0 cm object is 9.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -4.5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the m
Rasek [7]

Answer:

- 3 cm

Explanation:

From the mirror formula;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u ; where f is the focal length, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.

1/-4.5 = 1/9 + 1/v

1/v = -1/4.5 - 1/9

    = -1/3

Therefore;

v = -3 cm

Hence;

Image distance is - 3cm

When you drop a object on earth, earth gets pulled slightly toward that object as well. How do I calculate the force if the eart
kiruha [24]

The gravitation force with which the earth is being pulled can be determined by applying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

<h3>What is gravitation force?</h3>

According Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force exerted between two objects in the universe is directly proportional to the product of masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Mathematically, the formula for gravitation force is given as;

F = GmM/R²

where;

  • m is the mass of the object
  • M is mass of earth
  • R is the distance of the object from earth
  • G is universal gravitation constant

If the mass of the object is know and the distance between earth  and the object is also known, the force with which the earth is being pulled can be calculated by applying Newton's law of universal gravitation as shown in the above equation.

Thus, the force with which the earth is being pulled can calculated as well.

To practice problem-solving strategy 26.1 resistors in series and parallel. two bulbs are connected in parallel across a source
hichkok12 [17]
Emf e = 11
r 1 = 3.0
r 2 = 3.0
r 3 = ?

The two in parallel are equivalent to 3 • 3/6 = 1.5 Ω 
To have 2.4 volts across them, the current is I = 2.4/1.5 = 1.6 amps. and the unknown R = (11–2.4) / 1.6 = 5.375 Ω or 5.4 Ω
