You drive an automobile of mass 2.10 x 103 kg from sea level to the top of a mountain 2.05 km high. What is its change in weight?

A skyscraper elevator travels 20m while reaching its cruising speed of 10 m/s. A 82 kg passenger gets a Ford on the ground floor just as the doors are closing. What is the passengers apparent weight just as the doors close?

A 0.005 kg coin is dropped off of a 10 m tall bridge.  Assuming there is no friction or air resistance, how fast is it going, in m/s, right before it hits the ground?

Imagine a skydiver with a mass of m jumping out of an airplane at an altitude of h. As the skydiver descends, they experience two forces: air resistance and gravity. The force of air resistance varies with time and is described by the following function, where t is the time in seconds since t e skydiver has jumped: vec 2 (F)(t) = (0.5t)ha (x) + (0.11 +0.3t)hat(y) a) Create a air free body diagrar for the skydiver at t = 2 seconds. b) - What is the net for e acting on the skydiver at t = 2 seconds? c) What i the magnitude of the acceleration of the skydiver at t = 2 seconds? Imagine a skydiver with a mass of m jumping out of an airplane at an altitude of h. As the skydiver descends, they experience two forces: air resistance and gravity. The force of air resistance varies with time and is described by the following function, where t is the time in seconds since the skydiver has jumped: Fair (t) = (0.5t)2 + (0.12 + 0.3t)ŷ a) Create a free-body diagram for the skydiver at t = 2 seconds.…

In a thundercloud, there may be electric charges of +40.0 C near the top of the cloud and -40.0 C near the bottom of the cloud. These charges are separated by 2.00 km. What is the electric force on the top charge?

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 112 m long.  It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.42.  Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.

A physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 240.0 g mass on an electronic balance. The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is moving, the student records this information Time = 0 to 3.0 sec the balance reads 278 grams Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 240. grams Time = 12.0 to 15.0 sec the balance reads 192 gram How far up (in meters) did the elevator travel? Consider: UP to be (+), DOWN to be (-) and g =9.8 m/s2 .  ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO A WHOLE NUMBER of meters (no decimal places) HINT: This problem requires finding THREE different displacements and adding them up! 2nd HINT:  You will need to (A) use your equations of motion or (B) make a v-t graph to find those displacements!

A skyscraper elevator travels 20 m while reaching its cruising speed of 10m/s. A 82 kg passenger gets a board on the ground floor just as the doors are closing. What is the passengers apparent weight just as the doors close? Note that the passenger is at rest just as the doors close.

A passenger is standing on a scale in an elevator. The building has a height of 500 feet, the passenger has a mass of 80 kg, and the scale has a mass of 7 kg. The scale sits on the floor of the elevator. (It is an Otis elevator, so we will label it as "O" so as not to confuse its forces with those caused by the earth.) You may take g = 10 N/kg. For doing this problem it might be useful to start by drawing free-body diagrams for the passenger and the scale. Consider the vertical forces acting on the passenger and the scale WE→P: The force of the earth pulling down on the passenger (weight). WE→S: The force of the earth pulling down on the scale (weight). NP→S: The force of the passenger pushing down on the scale (normal). NS→P: The force of the scale pushing up on the passenger (normal). NO→S: The force of the elevator pushing up on the scale (normal). NO→P: The force of the elevator pushing up on the passenger (normal). Which of these forces affect the motion of the passenger? Select…

You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)
