A typical elevator car with people has a mass of 1500.0 kg. Elevators are currently approaching speeds of 20.0 m/s - faster than the speed.

Required:
What is the upward force required if the elevator moves upward 200.0 meters before reaching 20.0 m/s?

Answer:

1500N

Explanation:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 1500kg

Get the acceleration using the equation of motion;

v² = u²+2aS

20² = 0+2s(200)

400 = 400a

a = 400/400

a = 1m/s²

Get the upward force required

F = 1500 * 1

F = 1500N

Hence the upward force required if the elevator moves upward 200.0 meters before reaching 20.0 m/s is 1500N
