Calculate the power in kilowatts required to lift a 500 kg mass 12 meters in one second

Physics

The weight of the load is (mass) x (gravity).

The work done to lift it is (weight) x (distance) = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance)

The power is (work)/(time) =

               (mass) x (gravity) x (distance) / (time)  = 

               (500 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (12 m) / (1 sec) =

                (500 x 9.8 x 12 / 1) (kg-m / sec²) (m) / (sec) =

                 (500 x 9.8 x 12 / 1)    newton  -  meter / sec =

                  (500 x 9.8 x 12 / 1)             joule        /  sec =

                                 58,800    watts

                         =       <em>58.8 kW</em>

                         =      about  78.8 horsepower

How does changes in distance affect the gravitational pull between two objects? Describe and give one example.
maxonik [38]
The formula is

F_grav = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

G m1 and m2 are going to stay the same once chosen no matter what the distance is. The only thing that will change is the distance.

As the distance increases, the Gravitational Force will decrease. It will decrease by quite a bit.

As the distance decreases, the gravitational force will Increase.

The relationship is inverse. The moon travelling around the earth is one example. The earth travelling around the sun is another.

Why are objects that fall near earths surface rarely in free fall?
marissa [1.9K]

"Free fall" means that gravity is the ONLY force acting on the object.  If there's air resistance, then it isn't free-fall.  

Objects that fall near earths surface are ALWAYS falling through air, unless they're inside some kind of a vacuum chamber with all the air removed from it.
