The highest occupiable floor of any building is in the Sears Tower in Chicago. The elevators of the central tower of the buildin

g lift passengers 436.0 m above street level. If a continuous forces of 22310 N is exerted on one of these elevator cars as it travels from the ground to the top floor, how much work is done on the elevator car by the elevator's lifting mechanism?

Answer:

9727160J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of elevator rise  = 436m

Force exerted  = 22310N

Unknown:

Work done by the elevator lifting mechanism = ?

Solution:

The work done by a body is the force applied to move a body in a specific direction;

          Work done  = force x distance moved

In this case, the force and distance moved is provided already;

        Work done  = 22310 x 436  = 9727160J

Jonah rode his skateboard 350 meters down a straight road at a constant velocity. He skated
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

250 m/min down the road

Explanation:

Velocity is equivalent to speed but it considers the direction of the object. Velocity is also calculated by dividing the distance travelled by time. Therefore, v=\frac {d}{t} where d and t are distance and time respectively. Given that d is given as 350 m and t is 1.4 s then by substitution v=\frac {350}{1.4}=250 m/min and the direction is down the road.

Velocity is 250 m/min down the road
