Chapter 2, Problem 1CQ
A person gets in an elevator on the ground floor and rides it to the top floor of a building. Sketch a velocity-versus-time graph for this motion.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To draw: The velocity-versus-time graph.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The velocity-versus-time graph is drawn.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
A person gets in an elevator on the ground floor and rides it to the top floor of a building.
Explanation:
Normally when the elevator starts to function, initially the speed or velocity will be low and then gradually increases its speed. In the middle period of the elevator functioning, the speed becomes constant and at end period speed slows down and comes to rest.
The velocity-versus-time graph for the above scenario is shown in Figure 1.
Initially graph starts from zero, gradually increases. During middle period velocity remains constant showing horizontal line in the graph. During end period there will be gradual decrease and end at zero in the graph.
Conclusion:
Hence, the velocity-versus-time graph is drawn.

- Shrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 161 cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant rate of 15.0 cm/s due to a tangential pull on the wire.
