  1. Circular motion
    1. If 1 metric ton elevator is accelerating upwards at 7.0 m/s2, Calculate the force of tension in the cable.
    2. If the elevator is accelerating downwards at 7.0 m/s2 calculate the force of tension in the cable.
    3. Describe the acceleration that is most likely to break the elevator cable.
    4. Now imagine the elevator is in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factor and it can move in any direction. If the elevator is moving at a speed of 3.5 m/s around a curve with a radius of 18 ft, what will the centripetal acceleration of the elevator be?
    5. What will the centripetal force of the elevator be?
    6. If the radius of the curve and the speed of the elevator both double, what will happen to the centripetal force?
