Question

An elevator lifts a person 24.4 m with a force of 300. N in 15.0 s. What is the power of the elevator?

a)300. W
b)488 W
c)7,320 W
d)101,000 W

Answer 1

We have: Power = Force × Displacement/Time
Here, Force = 300 N
Displacement = 24.4 m
Time = 15 s

Substitute their values in the formula:
P = 300 × 24.4/15
P = 20 × 24.4
P = 488

Finally, Option B is your final answer.

Hope this helps!!
