An elevator of mass M is at rest when its cable breaks. The elevator falls a distance h before it encounters a massless, cushioning spring (with spring constant k) at the bottom of the shaft. The spring has an uncompressed height of L. As the elevator falls, its safety clamp applies a frictional force of f on the elevator to help slow it down (this frictional force is much less than the force of gravity on the elevator)
1. Write an expression for the speed of the elevator before it encounters the spring.

Calculate the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6. find the concentration of h+ ions to oh– ions listed in table b of your student guide. then divide the h+ concentration by the oh– concentration. record this calculated ratio in table a of your student guide. compare your approximated and calculated ratios of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6. are they the same? why or why not? record your explanation in table a. what is the concentration of h+ ions at a ph = 6? mol/l what is the concentration of oh– ions at a ph = 6? mol/l what is the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6? : 1
