Problem DescriptionYou are stuck in an elevator with a meter stick, a spring with a spring constant of 30 N/m, and anobject with a mass of exactly 0.5 kg. When you suspend the object from the end of the spring, youfind that the spring stretches by 18 cm. Determine everything you can about the motion of theelevator from this information.InstructionsIn a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following:1. A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled.2. Represent the forces exerted on the object using a force diagram and, after you have made yourdeterminations about the motion of the elevator, construct possible motion diagramsrepresenting the motion of the elevator (if you think there is only one possible motion drawthat, if you think there are several possible motions draw motion diagrams for each of them).3. Determine everything you can about the motion of the elevator. Use your force diagram andmathematics to support your decisions. Show all steps you take and explain the thoughtprocess behind each step as you work.4. Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not.

Answered: You are stuck in an elevator with a…

A 50 kg inclined plane, 4 m long and 30 degrees in angle, rests without friction on a table (there is oil between the inclined plane and the table). A 20 kg mass is at the top of the inclined plane and slides without friction on it. How much will the inclined plane move when the mass reaches the table? What will be the speed of the inclined plane and the speed of the mass when the latter is on the table? (we have conservation of mechanical energy (no friction) and conservation of momentum...)

Joan is setting up her new gaming PC, however she is worried about it overheating. She finds that the rate of heat loss (H), in W, that her cooling system can generate depends on the speed (V) and surface area (A) of her fans and the density of her coolant (ρ). Using the information provided above, determine the simplest expression that Joan can use to determine the rate of heat loss that her cooling system can generate.
