The floor to ceiling height of an elevator is 4.5?.

The elevator starts from the ground at rest and accelerates upward at 6?/?2. At ?=1?, a lamp on the elevator ceiling starts to fall (due to high ?forces).

How long will it take the lamp to hit the floor? Solve this problem in two ways:

a) From the perspective of a fixed X-Yframe(the ground frame).

b) From the perspective of a frame moving with the elevator (the relative frame).

A student (m = 64 kg) falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of 0.04 s. The average force exerted on him by the ground is +18000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. From what height did the student fall? Assume that the only force acting on him during the collision is that due to the ground.

An object has a mass of 16 kg. It is 18 meters high, from the ground. It begins to fall, from rest, with kinetic friction due to air resistance. The heat generated by kinetic friction is 12 percent (12%) of its initial mechanical energy. Determine the speed of the object when its height is 11 meters.
