You step into the elevator on the ground floor of the Empire State Building. The elevator takes 4.0 s to reach its cruising speed of 10 m/s. If your mass is 60 kg, and gravity pulls on you with 588N of force, what is the normal force provided by the elevator floor? (Hint: Start by finding the acceleration).

Some object with mass 0.1 Kg slides along a flat surface. Friction exists. Horizontal force of 1N is acted on the object, and consequently, the object has constant acceleration of 2.65 m/s^21. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction? 2. Say the object is pushed onto a slope with an inclination of 30 degrees. What will acceleration be, if the coefficient uk between the object and slope is the same?

Superman is applying a 17,000 N horizontal force to try and stop a speeding locomotive. This train has a mass of {9004} kg, it is on level, horizontal track, and gravity in Metropolis is 10 N/kg. The train is originally travelling at 25 m/s, and the brakes have failed. (Friction force is zero). Draw a Force Body Diagram of the train, labelling and calculating all forces. What is the acceleration of the train? How many seconds does it take for Superman to stop the train? How far does the train travel in that time?
A 1250 kg boat is traveling at 90 km/h when its engine is shut off. The magnitude of the frictional force fk between boat and water is proportional to the speed v of the boat. Thus, fk = 80v, where v is in meters per second and fk (the magnitude of the frictional force) is in newtons. Find the time required for the boat to slow down to 45 km/h.
A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 4.00 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed, the forces resisting motion, including friction and air resistance, total 375 N. What force (in N) does the motorcycle exert backward on the ground to produce its acceleration if its mass with rider is 240 kg?
A mass of 95 kg is on a scale in an elevator. The scale reads 830 N for the first 3s after the elevator starts moving. Then it reads 931N for the next 3 seconds. What is the elevator's velocity 6s after starting?

An elevator has a scale that measures the normal force between the contents and the floor. What force will the scale measure if the contents have a mass of 960 kg and the elevator is accelerating up at a rate of 1.5 m/s2?
You bring a bathroom scale onto an elevator and press "up". Your mass is 65 kg. If the bathroom scale reads 750 N, (a) what is the acceleration of the elevator? You then press down and the acceleration downward is of the same magnitude. (b) While accelerating downward, you hold a small mass of 100 g attached to a string. What is the tension in the string? This elevator is in the new BU Data Science building where g = 10 m/s². Your work should include free body diagrams
