1. A 75.0 kg man stands on a platform scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator
ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.20 m/s in 1.00 s. It travels with this constant speed for
the next 10.00 s. The elevator then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y direction
for 1.70 s and comes to rest. What does the scale register:
(d) during the time it is slowing down? Take g = 10 ms-2

He sets his briefcase on theice at the top while opening the garage, and the briefcase slidesdown the driveway. Ignore friction. (a) What is its acceleration?(b) How many seconds does it take to get halfway to the mailbox?(c) How many seconds does it take to reach the mailbox?(d) What is its speed at the instant it reaches the mailbox?arrow_forwardA 72-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Startingfrom rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.2m/s in 0.80 s. The elevator travels with this constant speed for5.0 s, undergoes a uniform negative acceleration for 1.5s,and then comes to rest.

Starting from rest, the elevator accelerates upward, getting its maximu speed of 1.18 m/s in 0.900s. It travels with constant speed for the next 4.00s. Then, the elevator undergoes uniform acceleration in negative y direction for 2 s and comes to rest. What does the bathroom scale register 1) before the elevator starts to go up, 2) during the first 0.900s, 3) while it is traveling at constant speed, 4.) during the time its slowing down?arrow_forward

At the lowest point of her motion, the trampoline is depressed .50m below equilibrium. what is her approximate upward acceleration at this point?arrow_forwardA crate of mass m = 24 kg rides on the bed of a truck attached by a cord to the back of the cab as in the figure below. The cord can withstand a maximum tension of 64 N before breaking. Neglecting friction between the crate and truck bed, find the maximum acceleration the truck can have before the cord breaks. (Enter the magnitude of the maximum acceleration in the forward direction.) m/s?arrow_forwardA child on a toboggan sits at rest on the top of a tobogganing hill.

- A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.310 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.940 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. (Enter a number.) m/s (b) Calculate his acceleration (in m/s²) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.310 m. (Enter a number.) m/s² (c) Calculate the force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 104 kg. (Enter a number.) Narrow_forward6. A skydiver of mass m = 60 kg leaps from a plane with an initial upward velocity of vo = +5 m/s. Assume the diver experiences air resistance proportional and opposite to their velocity, with drag coefficient b= 11 N/(m/s). Also assume acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s². The velocity of the diver changes with time, as modelled by the following differential equation. m = -mg-bv dv dt Solve for u(t)= the velocity of the diver at time t, and determine the diver's terminal velocity: lim v(t) t-xarrow_forward1. A golf ball is hit from ground level with initial velocity given x(t)= 3 m/s(t) in a direction that is due east and at an angle theta above the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, use Newton's second law to find the position as a function of time, using coordinates with x measured east and y north. Find the time for the golf ball to return to the ground and how far it travels in that time.arrow_forward
