Stairs have no power at all. They simply make it possible for you to direct

your own power in a direction that will accomplish a certain result when you

use them. Elevators use electrical power and deliver it in a mechanical form

for your use.

Is there some limit to the height of the flight of stairs used and the horsepower developed?

There's no limit to the height of the stairs, but because power is the rate of doing work, different people would run up several flights of stairs at different rates, since each person has a "limit" on the amount of power she/she can produce.


If you are in an elevator while playing darts would you have to aim higher or lower to hit the bullseye?

You would have to aim slightly higher in the elevator to hit the bullseye due to the upward acceleration of the elevator affecting the trajectory of the dart.


Is an elevator a linear object?

An elevator is not considered a linear object in mathematics. A linear object would usually refer to a one-dimensional space or a straight line, whereas an elevator operates in a three-dimensional space moving vertically.


When object in elevator and elevator is falling downward then gravity is acting on it but why it is said that in this condition object is weightless?

In a falling elevator, both the elevator and the object inside are accelerating downwards at the same rate under gravity. This creates the sensation of weightlessness, as the object is not experiencing any resistance or contact force from the elevator floor. However, gravity is still acting on the object, causing it to accelerate downwards at the same rate as the elevator.


Is an elevator a pulley?

An elevator uses a system of pulleys to move the cab up and down the shaft. It achieves this by connecting the cab to a counterweight through multiple pulleys and cables, allowing for efficient vertical transportation between floors. The pulley system helps to distribute the weight evenly, making it easier to raise and lower the elevator cab.

What would have greater power an elevator or stairs lifting a box to tenth floor?

An elevator would have greater power in lifting a box to the tenth floor. Elevators are specifically designed for vertical transportation and have mechanisms like motors and pulleys that can easily lift heavy loads. Stairs, on the other hand, rely on human effort and do not have the same mechanical advantage, making it more difficult and less powerful to lift a box to a higher level.


Why is Alexander miles so important?

He is so important because he invented the elevator. And if it wasnt for him inventing the elevator we woulndt be able to get on the elevator and every body would have to take the stairs all the time.


Why was the elevator invented?

because people needed to get to another floor of a building faster then usual. If you took the stairs it would have taken a long time. That is why Elisha Graves Otis invented the first elevator. Then soon after somebody improved it by making it an electrical elevator and that person was Werner Von Siemens. That is why they invented the elevator and the electrical elevator.

What is an alternative to taking the stairs?

well for starters the wheel chair was neccesary for the parapalegic or those dead from the waist down and an alternative for that are crutches. as for the stairs people would use the elevator or if their crippled just use the elevator. orjust say heck no tothe world and just crawl up the stairs


My son has a broken right leg and right arm cannot use crutches at all How would you get him up and down stairs safely?

This is a good problem. First avoiding stairs would be the best way to go but if you have to go up and down stairs and he is light enough to carry, carry him. You can use a wheelchair. These are your only options without installing an elevator.


Why was sydelle not overjoyed about he apartment in the westing game?

Sydelle Pulaski was not overjoyed about her apartment because it was on the fourth floor and she would have to walk up the stairs since the elevator was out of order. She had a disability that made it difficult for her to climb stairs, so this apartment presented a challenge for her.


When would you estimate low?

Weight capacity would be a time for low estimate, like on an elevator or pulling power for a truck.

What was invented before the safety elevator?

If it is for people with prams or people in wheelchairs, they would have probably used a slope going all the way up. But for people walking, well isn't it obvious? STAIRS!


Can you lose 15 pounds walking?

Yes, walking can help you lose weight but how far and how often, that is the real question. If you are a walker, you'll lose weight even more. If you often have an opportunity to walk down the store or the park, that would be great. It would be even better if you use stairs instead of the elevator. Try to use the stairs as much as you can.


How much would it cost to install a handicap lift in one's home?

A stair lift for the handicapped or a home elevator would cost from a few thousands to as much as fifty thousand, depending on the number of stairs, the weight of the person and how many turns there may be.
