A(n) 712 kg elevator starts from rest. It moves upward for 3.13 s with a constant acceleration until it reaches its cruising spe

ed of 1.93 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the average power delivered by the elevator motor during this period. Answer in units of kW.

Answer:

P = 7.61kW

Explanation:

In order to calculate the power delivered by the elevator motor, you take into account the work done by the elevator against the gravitational force.

The work done by the elevator is given by:

W_g=(F-Mg)h=Mah     (1)

F: force of the motor

M: mass of the elevator = 712 kg

g: gravitational force = 9.8 m/s^2

h: vertical distance traveled by the elevator

a: acceleration of the elevator

You calculate the acceleration a by using the following formula:

a=\frac{v}{t}=\frac{1.93m/s}{3.13s}=0.616\frac{m}{s^2}       (2)

With this values you can calculate F from (1)

F-Mg=Ma\\\\F=Ma+Mg=(712kg)(0.616+9.8)m/s^2=7416.19N     (3)

Furthermore, you have that the work is equal to the change in the kinetic energy:

Mah=\frac{1}{2}M(v^2-v_o^2)     (2)

v: final speed of the elevator = 1.93 m/s

vo: initial velocity = 0 m/s

From the equation (2) you can calculate the vertical distance h:

h=\frac{v^2}{2a}=\frac{(1.93m/s)^2}{2(0.616m/s^2)}=3.02m

Then, the work done by the elevator is

W_e=Fh=(7416.19N)(3.02m)=22422.53J

The quotient of the work We and time (3.13 s) is the power delivered by the motor:

P_e=\frac{W_e}{t}=\frac{22422.53J}{3.13s}=7613.74W\approx7.61kW

The power delivered by the elevator is 7.61kW

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
sergejj [24]

Here mass of the iron pan is given as 1 kg

now let say its specific heat capacity is given as "s"

also its temperature rise is given from 20 degree C to 250 degree C

so heat required to change its temperature will be given as

Q = ms \Delta T

Q = 1*s*(250 - 20)

Q = 1*s*230

now if we give same amount of heat to another pan of greater specific heat

so let say the specific heat of another pan is s'

now the increase in temperature of another pan will be given as

Q = ms'\Delta T

1*s*230 = 1* s' * \Delta T

now we have

\Delta T = (\frac{s}{s'})*230

now as we know that s' is more than s so the ratio of s and s' will be less than 1

And hence here we can say that change in temperature of second pan will be less than 230 degree C which shows that final temperature of second pan will reach to lower temperature

So correct answer is

<u>A) The second pan would reach a lower temperature.</u>

In a closed system, a cart with a mass of 1.5 kg is rolling to the right at 1.4 m/s, while another cart of mass 1.0 kg is rollin
bija089 [108]

Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s

P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum =P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s

Hence, the correct option is (c.).
