An elevator is pulled upward so it moves with increasing upward
speed?the force exerted by the cable on the elevator is constant
and greater than the downward gravitational force exerted by Earth.
When the elevator is moving up medium-fast, the force exerted by
the cable on the elevator changes abruptly to just balance the
downward gravitational force of Earth?the sum of the forces that
the cable and Earth exert on the elevator is now zero.
A 500 kg elevator accelerates upward at 2 m/s2 for 17 m, starting from rest. A) How much work does gravity do on the elevator? B) How much work does the tension in the elevator cable do on the elevator? C) What is the elevator’s kinetic energy after traveling 17 m?
A 900 kg elevator accelerates upward at 1.3 m/s2 for 11 m, starting from rest. You may need to review (Page 206) Part A How much work does gravity do on the elevator?Part B How much work does the tension in the elevator cable do on the elevator? Part C What is the elevator's kinetic energy after traveling 11 m?
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...
A loaded ore car has a mass of 915 kg and rolls on rails with negligible friction. It starts from rest and is pulled up a mine shaft by a cable connected to a winch. The shaft is inclined at 26.5° above the horizontal. The car accelerates uniformly to a speed of 2.20 m/s in 12.0 s and then continues at constant speed. (a) What power must the winch motor provide when the car is moving at constant speed? W...
A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 18.5 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope inclined at 19.5° above the horizontal. The sledge moves a distance of 19.3 m on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sledge and surface is 0.500. (a) What is the tension in the rope? N (b) How much work is done by the rope on the sledge? kJ (c) What is the mechanical energy lost...
A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 18.9 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope inclined at 20.5° above the horizontal. The sledge moves a distance of 19.8 m on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sledge and surface is 0.500. (a) What is the tension in the rope? N (b) How much work is done by the rope on the sledge? kJ (c) What is the mechanical energy lost...

A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 18.5 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope inclined at 21.0° above the horizontal. The sledge moves a distance of 19.7 m on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sledge and surface is 0.500. (a) What is the tension in the rope? N (b) How much work is done by the rope on the sledge? kJ (c) What is the mechanical energy lost...
A mass m = 17 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor with NO
friction for a distance d =6 m. Then the mass is pulled up an
incline that makes an angle θ = 37° with the horizontal and has a
coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.4. The entire
time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to
the incline at an angle of θ = 37° (thus on the incline it is
parallel...
