Chapter 3, Problem 11P
Three motion diagrams for a moving elevator are shown in Figure P3.11. Construct two force diagrams (for two consecutive moments) for the elevator for each motion diagram. Be sure that the lengths of the force arrows are the appropriate relative lengths and that there is consistency between the force diagrams and the motion diagrams. What assumptions did you make?

You are on the plane neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make.
Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system.

Scientists decide the best solution is to attach a rocket to the asteroid and fire it to change the trajectory of the asteroid. If the rocket is fired for 8 min, the scientists calculate that the new speed for the asteroid will be 21 km/s and its new trajectory will be at an angle of 25° to its original path. Part A In the process described above, what is the acceleration of the asteroid? Express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma. Assume that the positive axis is in the direction of the initial motion of the asteroid. The final motion of the asteroid has components in the x and positive y directions only. ax ay = for Part A for Part A undo for Part A redo for Part A reset for Part A keyboard shortcuts for Part A help for Part A Review I Constants m/s2arrow_forwardPRACTICE ANOTHER Q2.
