You are riding an elevator from the top floor of a building to the bottom floor. What direction is the net force acting on you n the moment just before you reach the bottom floor? Explain your answer.

When an object moves in uniform circular motion, the direction of its acceleration is a) in the same direction as its velocity vector. b) in the opposite direction of its velocity vector c) is directed toward the center of its circular path. d) is directed away from the center of its circular path. e) depends on the speed of the object.

Which of the following are guidelines to follow for obtaining accurate observations

A5 foot by 5 foot box culvert is buried 6 feet beneath the surface of the ground. a crosssection of this very long culvert (into and out of the page) is illustrated below. assume that the soil in which the culvert is buried has the following properties: jt = 120 pcf, w = 12%, ko = 0.50, ka = 0.33, and kp = 3.00. calculate the total horizontal force per unit length of culvert (fh) felt on one of the vertical faces of the culvert.
