- Two elevators in adjacent shafts approach each other, one from the top, and the other from the bottom. At a certain instant the elevators are 150m apart. The top elevator has a speed of 0.6m/s and accelerating 0.6m/s2, while the lower elevator has a speed of 0.9m/s and accelerating 0.3m/s2. Determine the height they will pass each other.arrow_forwardTwo elevators in adjacent shafts approach each other, one from the top and the other from the bottom.

Topic: Conservation of Energy Principle A 0.2-kg block slides along a frictionless curved pipe a shown. It is connected to a spring with a spring constant of k = 32.5 N/m . The uncompressed length of the spring is Lo = 1.5 m. Determine the speed of the spring at point 2 if it starts from rest at point 1.arrow_forward
- A 2500-lb automobile is moving at a speed of 60 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, causing all four wheels to skid. Determine the time required to stop the automobile (a) on dry pavement (μk= 0.75), (b) on an icy road (μk= 0.10).arrow_forwardA stone A is dropped from rest down a well, and at time t1 another stone B is dropped from rest. Determine the time interval between the instant A strikes the water and the instant B strikes the water. Also, at what speed do they strike the water? Given: d = 80 m t1 = 1 s g = 9.81 m/S2arrow_forwardA stone A is dropped from rest down a well, and at time t1 another stone B is dropped from rest. Determine the distance between the stones at a later time t2. Let d = 80 ft, t1 = 1 s, t2 = 2 s, g = 32.2 ft/s2.arrow_forward
- A piece of electronic equipment that is surrounded by packing material is dropped so that it hits the ground with a speed of 4 m/s. After contact the equipment experiences an acceleration of a- kx , where k is a constant and x is the compression of the packing material. If the packing material experiences a maximum compression of 20 mm, determine the maximum acceleration of the equipment.arrow_forwardA vehicle of mass 45 tonnes is moving at 85kmph. It collides with a second vehicle of mass 30 tonnes moving in the opposite direction at 50 kmph. After the collision the second vehicle has changed its speed to 2400 cm/s in the opposite direction as before the collision. Find: (i) the velocity of the first vehicle after the collision (ii) the coefficient of restitution. 1.The velocity of the first vehicle after the collision in (m/s) is 2.The Coefficient of Restitution isarrow_forwardStarting at time t = 0, net force F1 is applied to an object that is initially at rest. (a) If the force remains constant with magnitude F1 while the object moves a distance d, the final speed of the object is v1. What is the final speed v2 (in terms of v1) if the net force is F2 = 2F1 and the object moves the same distance d while the force is being applied? (b) If the force F1 remains constant while it is applied for a time T, the final speed of the object is v1. What is the final speed v2 (in terms of v1) if the applied force is F2 = 2F1 and is constant while it is applied for the same time T? In a later chapter we’ll call force times distance work and force times time impulse and associate work and impulse with the change in speed.)arrow_forward
- A 1250 kg car moving with a speed of 28.1 m/s runs into the back end of a 9260 kg truck moving with a speed of 22.3 m/s. They are both coasting and moving in the same direction. They stick together. With what speed in m/s do they move after the collision?arrow_forwardA car given in Figure 1 has a mass of1500kg. It starts moving from restwith an accelera-tion ofa1= (0.5t)m/s2, wheretis given astime in seconds. It accelerates for15seconds, andthen it travels for30seconds at constantspeed. Then, suddenly the driver of the car sees a wall,and starts breaking with constantacceleration ofa2=−4m/s2for8seconds. Unfortunately,the car hits the wall.a)Drawa−t,v−tands−tgraphs for the car until it collideswith wall, and calculate thespeed (vimpact) that the car hits the wall . Clearly indicate your calculation steps.b)The front bumper of the car can be is modelled as a simple linear spring with constantk, as shown in Figure 1. Using the impact speed,vimpact, that you found in the first part of thequestion above, find the value ofknecessary to stop the car when the bumper is compressed15cm.Note:Neglect the size, and shape of the car, and model the car as a particle.arrow_forwardIf no brakes are used immediately, an automobile with a starting velocity of 30 mph or 44 feet/s will collide with a person. If the driver is inebriated, he or she will be able to respond to the situation in three seconds. If the driver is not intoxicated, he or she can react for about 0.75 seconds. Determine the shortest stopping distance required for the driver (normal, not under influence of alcohol) to break on time if the automobile accelerates at -2 feet/s2. *arrow_forward
