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...
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...
