A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of 200 m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seat three people. The lift is operating at a steady speed of 10 km/h. Neglecting friction and air drag, and assuming that the average mass of each loaded chair is 250 kg, determine the power required to operate this ski lift. Also, estimate the power required to accelerate this ski lift in 9 s to its operating speed when it is first turned on. The power required to operate the ski lift is kW. The power required to accelerate this ski life in 9 s to its operating speed is kW.

To be able to use the conservation of energy on a moving body to determine key characteristics about the mechanics of the system. A package of mass m= 1.00 kg is pushed across the surface by a jet of compressed air during an assembly-line process. The package is moved through a distance of s = 47.0 cm. The package and the surface are known to have a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk= 0.15. The package is initially at rest for this process. If the package must be moving at a speed of v = 17.0 cm/s when it has reached the distance of 47.0 cm, determine the average force that the jet of compressed air must supply to the package If it is now desired that the package be at rest when it has reached the distance of 47.0 cm , determine the average force that the jet of compressed air must supply to the package if the package is initially traveling in the s direction at a velocity of v = 13.5 cm/s If the plant has changed the mass of the package on the assembly line to m = 1.35 kg ,…
