You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building. Before the state legislature votes on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it will take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators.
If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 23.90 m/s2 or travel faster than 19.3 m/s, what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor?
minimum travel time: ?
An object is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 3 m/s from a ladder which is 5 m above ground level. Taking g to be 10 m/s/s, (a) express the height, h, of the object above the ground as a function of time, t; and (b) use the expression in (a) to find the time the object hits the ground and the velocity with which it strikes the ground.
a. h = -5 + 3t - 5t^2; t = 1.34 s; v = -10.4 m/s
b. h = 5 + 3t - 5t^2; t = 1.34 s; v = 10.4 m/s
c. h = -5 + 3t - 5t^2; t = 1.34 s; v = 10.4 m/s
d. h = 5 + 3t - 5t^2; t = 1.34 s; v = -10.4 m/s
A bridge that was 11.2 m long has been washed out by the rain several days ago. How
fast must a car be going to successfully jump the stream? Although the road is level on
both sides of the bridge, the road on the far side is 3.3 m lower than the road on this
side.

- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

Take the upwards direction to be positive. Neglect air resistance. (F) Calculate the value of delta t in seconds. (G) What is the total displacement, in meters, of the ball going through its entire motion: traveling from the ground to the top then falling back to the ground? (H) Enter an expression for the total time of flight of the ball: the time from when it is launches to when it lands on the ground.arrow_forwardAs a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (55 mph) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 155 ft. Since fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.536 and 0.599, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.350 and 0.480. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs weighing 1310 lb to large trucks weighing 8.40 x 10° lb. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum…arrow_forward
