Step 1
First, we need to find the final velocity of the elevator using the equation: v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity (0 m/s), a is the acceleration (1.5 m/s²), and s is the distance (15 m). Show more…

A 1000 kg elevator accelerates upward at 1.10 m/s2 for 15.0 m , starting from rest. Part A How much work does gravity do on the elevator? Part B How much work does the tension in the elevator cable do on the elevator? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Part C Use the work-kinetic energy theorem to find the kinetic energy of the elevator as it reaches 15.0 m . Express your answer with the appropriate units. Part D What is the speed of the elevator as it reaches 15.0 m ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
