**Problem Statement:**
An 86.0-kg man stands on a bathroom scale inside an elevator.
(a) The elevator accelerates upward from rest at a rate of 1.35 m/s² for \( t_1 \) seconds. What does the scale read during this time interval?
**[Input box] N**
(b) The elevator continues upward at constant velocity for \( t_2 \) seconds. What does the scale read now?
**[Input box] N**
(c) While still moving upward, the elevator's speed decreases at a rate of 0.600 m/s² for \( t_3 \) seconds. What is the scale reading during this time?

- 0.350 and 0.480. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs weighing 1110 lb to large trucks weighing 7650 lb. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum braking distance needed to ensure that all vehicles traveling at the posted speed limit can stop before reaching the intersection. minimum braking distance: ft maximum braking distance: ft Given that the goal is to allow all vehicles to come safely to a stop before reaching the intersection, calculate the maximum desired speed limit. maximum speed limit: mph Which factors affect the soundness of your decision? Precipitation from the fog can lower the coefficients of friction. Drivers cannot be expected to obey the posted speed limit. Reaction time of the drivers is not taken into account. Newton's second law does not apply to this situation.arrow_forwardA 4.4 kg block located on a horizontal floor is pulled by a cord that exerts a force F = 10 N at an angle theta = 35 degrees above the horizontal, as shown. The floor has a coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.1. What is the magnitude of the acceleration [m/s2] of the block? What is the horizontal speed [m/s] of the block 4.4 seconds after it starts moving?arrow_forwardDetermine the force Q-> when the block moves with constant velocity. Express your answer in vector form.arrow_forward
- A car with a mass of 1.3x103 kg is skidding to a stop along a horizontal surface. The car decelerates from 33 m/s to rest in 3.9 seconds. Assuming negligible air resistance, determine the coefficient of friction between the car tires and the road surface. μ =_________arrow_forwardYou place a crate of mass 47.7 kg on a frictionless 3.61-meter-long incline. You release the crate from rest, and it begins to slide down, eventually reaching the bottom 1.15 s after you released it.

- A student is pulling a crate with a mass of 66.6 kg along a horizontal frictionless floor with a rope that’s inclined at an angle θ = 30.0° above the horizontal as shown. The tension force is measured to be 239 N. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the crate from the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardA 5-kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane (30°) with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s. There is friction between the block and the plane. The block comes to rest after traveling 3.0 m along the plane. Define the positive x-direction to be down the ramp.arrow_forwardA man wants to move a heavy wooden crate (82 kg) across a wooden floor. However, since he is taller than the crate, he must pull it using a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal. He exerts a force of 312 N as he pulls. What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line? Imagine that instead the floor is more slick, so that the crate feels a friction force half of what you calculated above. What is the crate’s acceleration?arrow_forward
