Answer:
1. Power = 5000 Watts
2. Workdone = 11185.5 Joules
Explanation:
Given the following data;
1. Distance = 18 m
Energy = 100 KJ = 100,000 Joules
Time = 20 seconds
To find the average power of the elevator;
Power = energy/time
Power = 100000/20
Power = 5000 Watts
2. Power = 0.4 HP
Time = 15 seconds
Conversion:
1 horsepower = 745.7 Watts
0.4 horsepower = 0.4 * 745.7 = 298.28 Watts
To find the amount of work done by the electric mixer;
Work done = power * time
Workdone = 745.7 * 15
Workdone = 11185.5 Joules
