You are designing a high-speed elevator for a new skyscraper. The elevator will have a mass limit of 2400 kg (including passengers). For passenger comfort, you choose the maximum ascent speed to be 18.0 m/s, the maximum descent speed to be 10.0 m/s, and the maximum acceleration magnitude to be 3.40 m/s 2. Ignore friction. What is the minimum time it will take the elevator to ascend from the lobby to the observation deck, a vertical displacement of 640 m?

If the effects of atmospheric resistance are accounted for, a freely falling body has an acceleration defined by the equation a = 9.81[1 - v ^2 (10 ^-4)] m/s^2, where v is in m/s and the positive direction is downward. If the body is released from rest at a very high altitude, determine (a) the velocity when t = 5 s, and (b) the body’s terminal or maximum attainable velocity (as t S ).
You wake up in a strange room, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.60 m, and observe that it hits the floor 0.400 s after you drop it. In this case you suspect you are in deep space, far from any planet or star, and that your rocket is accelerating due to the push of its own engines under the floor. In this case, what must the acceleration of your rocket be? (Ignore air resistance). 36.0 m/s^2 36.0 m/s^2 10.0 m/s^2 15.0 m/s^2
An elevator in the Taipei 101 skyscraper can start fromrest and accelerate to a maximum speed of 16 m>s with a constantacceleration of 1.1 m>s2. Through what distance does the elevatormove as it accelerates to its maximum speed?
A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose sailboat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the person with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s and observes that it takes 1.75 s to reach the water. How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effect of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that due to gravity is reasonable.

The pilot of a jet transport brings the engines to full takeoff power before releasing the brakes as the aircraft is standing on the runway. The jet thrust remains constant, and the aircraft has a near-constant acceleration of 0.44g. If the takeoff speed is 150 km/h, calculate the distance s and time t from rest to takeoff. Ans: s = _____ m t = _____ s
