Answer:

1. Power = 5000 Watts

2. Workdone = 11185.5 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Distance = 18 m

Energy = 100 KJ = 100,000 Joules

Time = 20 seconds

To find the average power of the elevator;

Power = energy/time

Power = 100000/20

Power = 5000 Watts

2. Power = 0.4 HP

Time = 15 seconds

Conversion:

1 horsepower = 745.7 Watts

0.4 horsepower = 0.4 * 745.7 = 298.28 Watts

To find the amount of work done by the electric mixer;

Work done = power * time

Workdone = 745.7 * 15

Workdone = 11185.5 Joules
