Homework Statement I am planning a lab where I am investigating the (inversely proportional) relationship between the velocity at which an elevator is moving and the mass inside an elevator. Method: 1. Estimating distance the elevator is going to travel. 2. Have a mass of 100 kg inside the...

thank you, very helpful!

Homework Statement Homework Equations Kinetic energy = Ke = (1/2)(mv^2) (joules - J) where m = mass (kg) v = velocity (m/s) The Attempt at a Solution What I was thinking was that the kinetic energy is divided uniformly over the distance d and hence Average crush force = mv^2 / 2d...
