Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 54GP

CE Predict/Explain Riding in an elevator moving upward with constant speed, you begin a game of darts. (a) Do you have to aim your darts higher than, lower than, or the same as when you play darts on solid ground? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:

I. The elevator rises during the time it takes for the dart to travel to the dartboard.
II. The elevator moves with constant velocity Therefore, Newton's laws apply within the elevator in the same way as on the ground.
III. You have to aim lower to compensate for the upward speed of the elevator.

5.97 Block A, with weight 3w, slides down an inclined plane S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant speed while plank B, with weight w, rests on top of A. The plank is attached by a cord to the wall (Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram of all the forces acting on block A. (b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction is the same between A and B and between S and A, determine its value. Figure P5.97 B A S 36.9°
