In a "worst-case" design scenario, a 2000-kg elevator with broken cables is falling at 4.00 m/s when it first contacts a cushioning spring at the bottom of the shaft. the spring is supposed to stop the elevator, compressing 2.00 m as it does so. during the motion a safety clamp applies a constant 17000-n frictional force to the elevator. 1) what is the speed of the elevator after it has moved downward 1.00 m from the point where it first contacts a spring? 2) when the elevator is 1.00 m below point where it first contacts a spring, what is its acceleration?

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)

The number of passengers who arrive at the platform of a subway station for the 10 am train is a random variable with a mean of 120 and a variance of 16. find the lower bound of the probability that there will be between 100 and 140 passengers (round off to second decimal place).
