Problem 1: A 1000.0 kg elevator is controlled with a cable. Friction and air resistance can be ignored. In this problem, the elevator is already moving downward at a constant speed of 10 m/s. During this initial stage, the elevator moves with this constant speed for 1.5 seconds. Then, in a 2nd stage, the elevator slows down to a stop with constant acceleration. During this 2nd stage, it takes 0.5 seconds of time to come to a stop. A. Draw a motion diagram that clearly shows both the velocity vectors and the acceleration vectors. Use dashed lined to separate the two stages. B. Draw a velocity vs. time graph for this situation. Separate the two stages of motion with a dashed. line. C. What is the value of the acceleration during each sage? [Separate answer for each stage]
A man pushes an object to the right and exerts a force which has a horizontal compotent of F = 33 N. A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object. If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s? If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?
