Chapter 4, Problem 4.55P
DATA You are a Starfleet captain going boldly where no man has gone before. You land on a distant planet and visit an engineering testing lab. In one experiment a short, light rope is attached to the top of a block and a constant upward force F is applied to the free end of the rope. The block has mass m and is initially at rest. As F is varied, the time for the block, to move upward 8.00 m is measured. The values that you collected are given in the table:
| F(N) | Time (s) |
| 250 | 3.3 |
| 300 | 2.2 |
| 350 | 1.7 |
| 400 | 1.5 |
| 450 | 1.3 |
| 500 | 1. 2 |
(a) Plot F versus the acceleration a of the block. (b) Use your graph to determine the mass m of the block and the acceleration of gravity g at the surface of the planet. Note that even on that planet, measured values contain some experimental error.

You are in an elevator that is initially at rest. At t=0, it heads downward and speeds up as a
function of time. It experiences a velocity given by v(t) = (−2.00t²ĵ)²
m
S
a) What is the normal force that you experience at t=1.20 s? Assume you have a mass of
70.0 kg.
b) How far did the elevator drop in 1.20 s?
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?
