Jumping up before the elevator hits. After the cable snaps and the safety system fails, an elevator cab free-falls from a height of 34 m. During the collision at the bottom of the elevator shaft, a 90 kg passenger is stopped in 6.0 ms. (Assume that neither the passenger nor the cab rebounds.) (a) What is the magnitude of the impulse on the passenger during the collision? N's (b) What is the magnitude of the average force on the passenger during the collision? N Suppose the passenger were to jump upward with a speed of 6.5 m/s relative to the cab floor just before the cab hits the bottom of the shaft. Assume the same stopping time as above. (c) What is the magnitude of the impulse on the passenger during the collision? N•s (d) What is the magnitude of the average force on the passenger during the collision? N
Consider a disc of mass M with a radius of 0.5 m that is lying on a slope at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal. It grips the hill well and does not slide. The disc is designed in such a way that its mass per unit area, (r), equals r1/2 kg m2, where r is the disc's radial distance in metres from its axis. Calculate the disk's mass.
A block of mass m, lies on the floor of an elevator cab of mass m, that is being pulled upward by a cable through a distance d.
