A(n) 712 kg elevator starts from rest. It moves upward for 3.13 s with a constant acceleration until it reaches its cruising speed of 1.93 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the average power delivered by the elevator motor during this period. Answer in units of kW.

P = 7.61kW

Explanation:

In order to calculate the power delivered by the elevator motor, you take into account the work done by the elevator against the gravitational force.

The work done by the elevator is given by:

    (1)

F: force of the motor

M: mass of the elevator = 712 kg

g: gravitational force = 9.8 m/s^2

h: vertical distance traveled by the elevator

a: acceleration of the elevator

You calculate the acceleration a by using the following formula:

      (2)

With this values you can calculate F from (1)

    (3)

Furthermore, you have that the work is equal to the change in the kinetic energy:

    (2)

v: final speed of the elevator = 1.93 m/s

vo: initial velocity = 0 m/s

From the equation (2) you can calculate the vertical distance h:

Then, the work done by the elevator is

The quotient of the work We and time (3.13 s) is the power delivered by the motor:

The power delivered by the elevator is 7.61kW

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.
