A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in

3.0 min, starting and ending at rest. The elevator’s counterweight has a mass of only 950 kg, and so the elevator motor must help. What average power is required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable?

Answer:

The average power is calculated as 735.0 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Total mass, M = 1200 kg

Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950

Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m

Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s

Now,

To calculate the average power:

First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:

Force, F = (M - m)g = (1200 - 950)\times 9.8 = 2450 N

Now, the work done by this force:

W = Fd = 2450\times 54 = 132300\ J = 132.3\ kJ

Average power is given as:

P_{avg} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{132300}{180} = 735.0\ W

Which is not part of nuclear chemistry? A. Strong nuclear force B. Double-replacement reactions C. Radioactivity D. Nuclear deca
ziro4ka [17]

The correct choice is

B. Double-replacement reactions

in this type of reaction , two ionic compounds react and swaps their cations or anions giving two new compounds in the product. hence the double replacement reactions does not deal with the nucleus. all other terms like strong nuclear forces, radioactivity and nuclear decay deal with the nucleus.

What water pressure must a pump that is located on the first floor supply to have water on the thirteenth of a building with a p
irga5000 [103]

The water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

The given parameters;

  • <em>Pressure on the 13 th floor, P₁ = 35 PSI</em>
  • <em>Distance between each floor, d = 10 ft</em>

The vertical pressure of the water is calculated as follows;

P = \rho gh\\\\\frac{P}{h} = \rho g\\\\\frac{P}{h} = k\\\\\frac{P_1}{h_1} = \frac{P_2}{h_2} \\\\

The vertical height of the first floor from the 13th floor = 130 ft

The vertical height of the 13 ft floor = 10  ft

P_1 = \frac{P_2 h_1}{h_2} \\\\P_1 = \frac{35 \times 130}{10} \\\\P_1 = 455 \ PSI

Thus, the water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t
xeze [42]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T)   ,   The weight of the object(W) .

                                  ∴ F    =   0

                                 T  -  W  =   0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of  the object.
