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

Lana71 [14]

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:

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

On a cloudless day, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the earth has an intensity of about W/m². What is the electromagnet

Otrada [13]

Answer:

1.907 x 10⁻⁵ J.

Explanation:

Given,

Volume of space, V = 5.20 m³

Assuming the intensity of sunlight(S) be equal to 1.1 x 10³ W/m².

Electromagnetic energy = ?

$E = \mu V$

$E = (\dfrac{S}{c})\times V$

where c is the speed of light.

$E = (\dfrac{1.1\times 10^3}{3\times 10^8})\times 5.20$

$E = 1.907\times 10^{-5}\ J$

Hence, Electromagnetic energy is equal to 1.907 x 10⁻⁵ J.

A 45.2-kg person is on a barrel ride at an amusement park. She stands on a platform with her back to the barrel wall. The 3.74-m

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

1,230N

Explanation:

1. Name of the variables:

$f:frequency\\\\ \omega:angular\text{ }speed\\\\ a_c:centripetal\text{ }acceleration\\\\ F_c:centripetal\text{ }force\\ \\ m:mass\\ \\ d:diameter\\ \\ r:radius\\ \\ g:gravitational\text{ }acceleration$

2. Formulae:

$f=\dfrac{number\text{ }of\text{ }revolutions}{time}$

$\omega=2\pi f$

$a_c=\omega^2 r$

$F_c=m\times a_c$

3. Solution (calculations)

$f=\dfrac{1}{1.65s}=0.\overline{60}s^{-1}$

$\omega=2\pi\times0.\overline{60}\approx 3.808rad/s$

$a_c=(3.808rad/s)^2\times (3.74/2m)=27.12m/s^2$

$F_c=45.2kg\times27.12m/s^2=1,225.67N\approx 1,230N$

Sound will travel slowest through which medium?

SSSSS [86.1K]

The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported.

Sound travels fastest through solids, slower through liquids and slowest through gases.

So it will travel slowest through water at 55 degrees
