Answer:
4.2s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Power = 2190W
Mass of box = 1.47 x 10⁴g
distance = 6.34 x 10⁴mm
Unknown:
Time = ?
Solution:
Power is the rate at which work is done;
Mathematically;
Power =
Time =
Work done = weight x height
convert mass to kg;
100g = 1kg;
1.47 x 10⁴g = 14.7kg
convert the height to m;
1000mm = 1m
6.34 x 10⁴mm gives 63.4m
Work done = 14.7 x 9.8 x 63.4 = 9133.4J
Time taken = = 4.2s
