Just as the last passenger steps out of the elevator at the thirteenth floor, a malfunction occurs and it begins dropping toward the ground floor in free fall, Ignoring friction (and the fact that elevators are designed to avoid this type of accident), what is its downward acceleration? How fast is it moving after 2.5 s?

This problem has been solved! see the answera non-uniform fire escape ladder is 6.0m long whenextended to the icy alley below. it is held at the top by africtionless pivot, and there is neglibible frictional force fromthe icy surface at the bottom. the ladder weighs 250n, and it'scenter of gravity is 2.0m along the ladder from the bottom. amother and child of total weight 750n are on the ladder 1.5m fromthe pivot. the ladder makes an angle θ with the horizontal.find the magnitude and direction ofa) the force exerted by the icy alley on the ladderb) the force exerted by the ladder on the pivotc) do your answers in part a and b depend on the angle?

Lake happy times contains 100 km3 of pure water. it is fed by a river at a rate of 50 km3/yr. at time zero, there is a factory on one shore of lake happy times that begins introducing a pollutant to the lake at a rate of 2km3/yr. there is another river that is fed by lake happy times at a rate that keeps the volume of lake happy times constant. this means that the rate of flow from lake happy times into the outlet river is 52km3/yr. in turn, the flow from this outlet river goes into another lake, lake sad times, at an equal rate. finally, there is an outlet river from lake sad times flowing at a rate that keeps the volume of lake sad times at a constant 100 km3 . (a) find the amount of pollutant in lake sad times at the end of 3 months. (b) at the end of 3 months, observers close the factory due to environmental concerns and no further pollu- tant enters lake happy times. how long will it take for the pollutant in lake sad times (found in part (a)) to be cut in half?

Iso need with this one really lost on it me on this
