Question

 

A high-speed quad chairlift can move approximately hundred passengers every minute up a vertical distance of 200 m as soon the average passenger has a bit of 65.0 kg

a)Calculate the amount of work done by the lift to overcome the force of gravity

b)calculate the amount of power required by the loft to overcone the force if gravity

c)Is your anwser from part b) the amount of power that would need to be supplied to the lift for it to operate as described? why or why not?

d)if the high speed lift Operates at 65% efficiency how much power would need to be supplied to the lift for to operate as described 

e)a low speed double seat chairlist transport fewer than half the amount of passengers as the high speed chairlift Would you expect it to you some more or less power explain?

f)Which lift (high speed or low-speed) would you expect to operate more efficiently in terms of energy loss explain
