Chapter 6: Q.18 (page 155)

It takes the elevator in a skyscraper 4.0 s to reach its cruising speed of 10 m/s. A 60 kg passenger gets aboard on the ground floor. What is the passenger鈥檚 weight

a. Before the elevator starts moving?

b. While the elevator is speeding up?

c. After the elevator reaches its cruising speed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Before the elevator starts moving N=588.6N

b. While the elevator is speeding up N=738.6N

c. After the elevator reaches its cruising speed N=588.6N

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

Inertia is a fundamental feature of all matter, and mass is a quantitative measure of it. The smaller the change caused by an applied force, the larger the mass of the body.

02

Explanation (Part a)

The elevator is at rest. The only two forces acting are gravitational and the force of the normal reaction of the substrate. N is the net force.

N=m脳gN=60kg(9.81m/s2)N=588.6N

03

Explanation (Part b)

We will find the acceleration of the elevator from the equation written below:

v2=v1+atv1=0m/sv2=ata=v2ta=10m/s4sa=2.5m/s2N=m(a+g)N=60kg(9.81m/s2+2.5m/s2)N=738.6N

04

Explanation (Part c)

When the elevator reaches the maximum speed, it no longer accelerate.

ais acceleration ,Fis the force,Nis the net force.

a=0m/s2F=ma0=N-mgN=mgN=60kg(9.81m/s2)N=588.6N

The 渭k=0.30wood box in FIGURE P6.56slides down a vertical wood wall while you push on it at a 2.0kgangle. What magnitude of force should you apply to cause the box to slide down at a constant speed?

FIGURE P6.56

An object of mass m is at rest at the top of a smooth slope of height hand lengthL. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface, 渭k, is small enough that the object will slide down the slope after being given a very small push to get it started. Find an expression for the object鈥檚 speed at the bottom of the slope.

A 8.0脳104kgspaceship is at rest in deep space. Its thrusters provide a force of 1200kN.The spaceship fires its thrusters for 20s, then coasts for12 km. How long does it take the spaceship to coast this distance?

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a 鈥渃rumple zone鈥� in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1mas the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton鈥檚 first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5mm. a. A 60kgperson is in a head-on collision. The car鈥檚 speed at impact is 15m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.

b. Estimate the net force that ultimately stops the person if he or she is not restrained by a seat belt or air bag
