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 spring hangs from the ceiling with an unstretched length of x 0 = 0.35 m . A m 1 = 6.3 kg block is hung from the spring, causi
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

x₂=0.44m

Explanation:

First, we calculate the length the spring is stretch when the first block is hung from it:

\Delta x_1=0.50m-0.35m=0.15m

Now, since the stretched spring is in equilibrium, we have that the spring restoring force must be equal to the weight of the block:

k\Delta x_1=m_1g

Solving for the spring constant k, we get:

k=\frac{m_1g}{\Delta x_1}\\\\k=\frac{(6.3kg)(9.8m/s^{2})}{0.15m}=410\frac{N}{m}

Next, we use the same relationship, but for the second block, to find the value of the stretched length:

k\Delta x_2=m_2g\\\\\Delta x_2=\frac{m_2g}{k}\\\\\implies \Delta x_2=\frac{(3.7kg)(9.8m/s^{2})}{410N/m}=0.088m

Finally, we sum this to the unstretched length to obtain the length of the spring:

x_2=0.35m+0.088m=0.44m

In words, the length of the spring when the second block is hung from it, is 0.44m.

The mass of a large car is 1000 kg. How much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3msec2
pogonyaev

Answer:

3000 N

Explanation:

We have,

• Mass, m = 1000 kg

• Acceleration, a = 3 m/s²

We have to find force required, F.

\longrightarrow F = ma

\longrightarrow F = 1000 × 3 N

\longrightarrow F = 3000 N (Answer)
