Get started for free(III) An engineer is designing a spring to be placed at the bottom of an elevator shaft. If the elevator cable breaks when the elevator is at a height h above the top of the spring, calculate the value that the spring constant k should have so that passengers undergo an acceleration of no more than 5.0 g when brought to rest. Let M be the total mass of the elevator and passengers.
In what ways is the word “work” as used in everyday language the same as it is defined in physics? In what ways is it different? Give examples of both.
(e) None of the above.
An astronaut of mass 210 kg including his suit and jet pack wants to acquire a velocity of\(2.0\;{\rm{m/s}}\)to move back toward his space shuttle. Assuming the jet pack can eject gas with a velocity of\(35\;{\rm{m/s}}\)what mass of gas will need to be ejected?
