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

Pumping of groundwater in California most effectively: Select one:
maria [59]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Ans- A, causes sediments in aquifers that are emptied to compact and the ground above it to sink.

This is one of the major problems for California nowadays. Due to excessive groundwater pumping to satisfy the demand of huge population the aquifers are drying, hence compacting and for that the land above sinks.

How is newton's first law used in basketball?
arlik [135]

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless an external force acts upon it. This law appears in basketball when the player is shooting the ball. When the player is holding the ball, the ball is at rest but when a player shoots the ball, they use force to throw the ball in the hoop.

A penny is dropped from the top of a tower. It hits the ground below after 2.5 s. How tall was the tower?
pychu [463]

Answer:

C. 30.6m

Explanation:

To find the height of the tower, we are to use Newtons law of motion to solve this problem. Since the penny is falling from the top of the tower, it is acted by the acceleration due to gravity. The formula to be used is:

H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where H is the height of the tower, t is the time taken to hit the ground, u is the initial velocity and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given that, t = 2.5 s, g =9.8 m/s², u = 0 m/s (at the top of tower)

H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\H=0(2.5)+ \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.5)^2\\\\H=30.6\ m

What is the frequency of an x- ray if the wavelength is 4.5 E - 10m?
AnnZ [28]
V (speed) = F (frequency) x Wavelength
If we rearrange the formula, making frequency the subject;
F (frequency) = Speed ÷ Wavelength
F = 300,000 m\s x 4.5 e -10m
F = 0.08810409956 Hz
