Now the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.8 m/s but accelerating upward with an acceleration of a = 5.5 m/s2

. (Note: an upward acceleration when the elevator is moving down means the elevator is slowing down.) What is the force the bottom spring exerts on the bottom mass?

Answer:

160.75 N

Explanation:

The downward velocity has no effect on the force situation, it is only changes in velocity (plus, of course, gravity, which is always there) that require a force. At constant velocity, the bottom spring s_3 is supporting its mass m_3 to balance gravity.

As the elevator slows, though, it also ends up slowing down the spring arrangement, too. However, because the stretching takes time, it means that some damped harmonic motion will be set up in the spring chain.

When the motion has finally damped out, the net force the bottom spring s3 exerts on m3 has two components--that of gravity and of the deceleration of the elevator:

F_3net = m3 * (g + a) = 10.5×(9.81+5.5)= 10.5×15.31= 160.75 N

Rose has been working as a receptionist for 20 years. One day, she receives a check in the mail for $750,000—an inheritance from
sergey [27]
The just-world phenomenon is the belief that everything that happens to an individual is due to the individual's actions; in other words, all good and all bad that an individual encounters in the world is deserved by that person. This leads to a victim being blamed with the logic that "they had it coming" and someone who encounters good fortune being praised with "they earned it". Therefore, in this scenario, people will assume that Rose's inheritance is well deserved.<span />
