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 football player kicks a ball with a mass of 0.42kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s2. How much force did
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

6.216 N

Explanation:

As for Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

where F= the acting force

           m=subjected mass

           a= the acceleration

applying F=ma to the football

F=m*a

 =0.42*14.8

 =6.216 N

6.216 N of a force is supplied to the ball

Why is gravity so weird? .
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Why is gravity so weird? No force is more familiar than gravity — it's what keeps our feet on the ground, after all. And Einstein's theory of general relativity gives a mathematical formulation for gravity, describing it as a “warping” of space.

A boat having stones floats in water. If stones are unloaded in water, what will happen to the level of water?​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

If the stones are unloaded from the boat, the weight of the boat will decrease. Therefore, the volume of the water displaced by the boat will also decrease. Due to this, the volume of the boat immersed in the water decreases. Hence, the level of the water around the boat will decrease.

How to charge a laptop battery without a charger?
Likurg_2 [28]
I dont know if it right but <span>Use a universal power adapter. This is perhaps the most obvious solution to your battery woes. Readily found at most retail outlets that carry electronics, a universal power adapter can range anywhere in price from $30 to $100 or more. The adapter comes with multiple tips, one of which will likely fit your laptop’s charging port. When plugged in, the adapter will not only power your laptop, but will charge its battery as well.</span>
