Chapter 9, Problem 63PQ
An elevator motor moves a car with six people upward at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s. The mass of the elevator is 8.00 × 102 kg, and the average mass of a person on the elevator is about 80.0 kg. Calculate the electric power that must be delivered to lift the elevator car, assuming half of the necessary power delivered goes into thermal energy.
