1. Calculate the work done in kilojoules on a 1,146 kg elevator car by its cable to lift it 42 m at constant speed, assuming friction averages 135.9 N. 2. What is the cost of operating a 4.4 W electric clock for a year if the cost of electricity is $0.08 per kWh ? 3. Find the final speed for a skier in a downhill ski race who skies 80 m along a 24.7º slope neglecting friction if he or...
A skyscraper in Manhattan has an elevator that weighs 1000 kg when loaded. The elevator is lifted at a constant rate to 480m above the ground by an electric winch motor. The drum of the winch motor is a solid uniform cylindrical drum in which a steel cable can wrap around it. The mass of the drum is 500 kg and has a diameter of 1 m. It takes the elevator a total of 120 s to get to the...
