3.) A 5kg cannonball was dropped (from rest) from a height of 10m above the ground. What is the velocity of
the dumbbell as it hits the ground? Here, we assume that there is no air resistance.
*Hint: You can set the ground level to be y = 0.
Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy: "The initial mechanical energy is equivalent to the final
mechanical energy i.e., the mechanical energy is constant in the absence of any dissipative force such as
friction or air resistance."

An escalator handles a steady load of 30 people per minute taking them from the first to the second floor through a vertical rise of 24 feet. Let us say the average person riding the elevator weighs 160 lb. a. What output power on a motor do you require to drive the unit? Take literally one minute to find an electric motor online that could do this job. You can search “_ hp electric motor" and state the motor name, power, cost, and vendor. Of course, round up your hp, not down to meet your specs. (In practice, this is an area where you can spec the motor in equivalent Watts, if you choose.) b. What is the electric power that is input to the motor considering losses within the escalator system due to friction, vibration, etc.? Your chosen motors surely have a different efficiencies and sources may even present efficiency as a function of power/rpm, so let's all use the value of e= 0.85 for consistency.arrow_forwardExamples - 3.1 To illustrate the proper use of units in the calculation of such terms, consider a system having a mass of 1 kg whose velocity increases from 15 m/s to 30 m/s while its elevation decreases by 10 m at a location where g = 9.7 m/s.
