Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 56EAP
If a car stops suddenly, you feel “thrown forward.” We’d like to understand what happens to the passengers as a car stops.
Imagine yourself sitting on a very slippery bench inside a car. This bench has no fiction, no seat back, and there’s nothing for you to hold onto.
- Draw a picture and identify all of the force acting on you as the car travels at a perfectly steady speed on level ground.

Suppose that a 1000 kg car is traveling at 25 m/s (55 mph). It brakes and slides across the road with a force of friction of 5000 N acting on it. What is the minimum distance required for the car to stop? Make a quantitative force diagram. Write a force (N2L) equation for the axis along which forces are not balanced.
Activity 2.4. B. HOW MUCH DO I WEIGH?
A. You stand on a bathroom scale that rests on the floor inside the elevator.
Standing on the scale compresses the internal springs and activates a dial that
indicates your weight in newtons. When the elevator is at rest, the scales reading is
550 N. The the elevator begins to move upward with a constant acceleration of
2.5m/s?.
4. Draw the free-body diagrams for this problem.
