An elevator going up is increasing its potential energy. This energy and some kinetic

energy to speed up the elevator in its way up comes from an electric motor that pulls

the lifting cables that hold the elevator.

What type of energy does a lift gain when going up?

A lift gains potential energy when going up, which is due to its increased height above the ground. This potential energy can then be converted back to kinetic energy as the lift descends.


What is the equation for the change in weight in lift?

The increase in your weight when the lift starts going up or stops going down,as well as the decrease in your weight when the lift stops going up or startsgoing down, is[ (your mass) x (acceleration of the lift) ] .Your mass is numerically equal to (0.4536 x your weight in pounds), or elseequal to your "weight" in kilograms if you're unfortunate enough to havebeen taught to express it in that fashion.


Which kind of energy is produced when a student beats a drum?

As high as you can lift you can lift your wrist. I'm going to warn you - DO NOT LIFT YOUR ARMS TO STRIKE A DRUM. Unless of course you like muscle strains. If you do this - your arm will receive to shock through your arm and you will be hurting!


When you lift a object what kind of energy are you transferring it to?

When you lift an object, you are transferring potential energy to it. This potential energy is due to the object's position in the gravitational field. The higher you lift the object, the more potential energy it possesses.

What kind of energy do you create when you lift something?

When you lift something, you create mechanical energy. This is a type of kinetic energy associated with the movement of objects. The energy comes from the work done by your muscles to lift the object against the force of gravity.

Simple machines such as pulleys, wedges, and levers reduce the amount of energy required to lift or move (heavy) objects.


What kind of energy is used in lift?

Electric energy is typically used to power the motors that generate force to lift an object, such as in elevators or cranes. This electric energy is converted into mechanical energy to lift the object against the force of gravity.
