Question 38





A m = kg elevator starts from rest. It moves upward for t = s with constant acceleration until it reaches its cruising speed of v = m/s.
(a) What is the average power of the elevator motor during this time interval?
(b) How does this power compare with the motor power when the elevator moves at its cruising speed?
