Amotor is used to lift a person sitting on a platform that, combined weighs 650 n. the platform is lifted 25.0 m straight up in 18.0 seconds. what power is developed by the motor in watts?

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
