An elevator is on the 20th floor of a 40-floor building. At time t = 0, the elevator is at rest and the doors have just finished closing. A student on the elevator has a smartphone with an app that can measure vertical acceleration. The student takes data for the 10 seconds starting at time t = 0; the acceleration data is shown in the graph on the right. Let positive values represent upward acceleration.

(a) Qualitatively and quantitatively describe the motion of the elevator at the following times.
i. Time t = 5 seconds
ii. Time t = 10 seconds
(b) At time t = 10 seconds, is the elevator above, below, or at its initial position? Explain your reasoning.
(c) On the grids below, draw graphs representing the velocity v and height y of the elevator as functions of time during the 10-second interval. Assume that the initial height of the elevator is y = y0. Be sure that your graphs have proper shapes and slopes during the appropriate times.

The membrane surrounding a living cell consists of an inner and an outer wall that are separated by a small space. assume that the membrane acts like a parallel plate capacitor in which the effective charge density on the inner and outer walls has a magnitude of 7.0 × 10-6 c/m2. (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field within the cell membrane? (b) find the magnitude of the electric force that would be exerted on a potassium ion (k+; charge = +e) placed inside the membrane.

In the circuit, the switch s has been open for a long time and r = 125 kohm. it is then suddenly closed. (a) determine the time constant before the switch is closed. s (b) determine the time constant after the switch is closed. _ s (c) let the switch be closed at t = 0. find the current in the switch as a function of time.
