IF THE AVERAGE POWER OF AN ELEVATOR IS 5 kW AND IT TAKES 15 J OF WORK TO OPERATE THE

ELEVATOR, HOW MUCH TIME WILL IT CONSUME TO REACH THE TOP?

Given:

Work = 15 j (joules)

Power = 5 kW (kilowatt) or 5,000 W or 5,000 joules/sec

Convert kW to W to joules/second
1 kW = 1,000 W
5 kW = 5,000 W
1 Watt = 1 joule/second
5,000 W = 5,000 joules/sec

Find the time (t) for the elevator to reach the top given the average power and work:

It takes 0.003 seconds to reach the top.
