2. Amanis standingon a scale that reads out his apparent weight in Newtons in an accelerating elevator. If the scale reads that he weighs 1200N while the elevator is accelerating and his mass is 79kg, what is the acceleration of the elevator? (Up is positive) -4.7 m/s2 a. b. -5.4 m/ss c. +5.4 m/s2 d. -9.8 m/s2 e. +4.7 m/s2 f. 0 m/s2
A heavy man’s resting weight is 1029 N. He is standing on a scale on an elevator that has a mass (without the man) of 1250 kg. While the elevator is in motion the man’s apparent weight reads 1134 N. The tension on the cable supporting the elevator is (in N)? The answer is 14,634 N but I do not know how to get the answer. Please provide a detailed explanation.
A 96.5-kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. What is the apparent weight when the elevator is (a) accelerating upward with an acceleration of 1.57 m/s2, (b) moving upward at a constant speed, and (c) accelerating downward with an acceleration of 1.79 m/s2?
A man is standing on a scale inside an elevator. As the elevator starts to go up with an acceleration a, the scale reads 832 N. The mass of the man is m = 60 kg. (a) Which of the free body diagrams below displays all the forces acting on the man with the correct relative magnitudes and directions?
A 86.8-kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. What is the apparent weight when the elevator is (a) accelerating upward with an acceleration of 1.72 m/s2, (b) moving upward at a constant speed, and (c) accelerating downward with an acceleration of 1.67 m/s2? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units
A 60 kg man standing on a scale in an elevator moving up at 2 m/s ^2 , what is his weight? What is his weight when the elevator is moving down at 3 m/s^2? What is his weight when the elevator is moving at a constant speed of 2 m/s?
You are standing on a scale in an elevator initially at rest and the scale reads 71.2 kg. The elevator begins to ascend and accelerates at a rate of 3.57 m/s 2 . What would the scale read (in kg) when the elevator is moving upwards and accelerating?
You are standing on a bathroom scale and you measure the weight to be 120 lb. You then take the scale onto an elevator and stand on the scale as the elevator accelerates, during which the reading on the scale decreases to 90 lb. Which of the following statements about the elevator could be true? A. The elevator is moving upward at 2 m/s while accelerating downward at 2.45 m/s^2. B. The elevator is moving downward at 4 m/s while...
A man stands on a scale in an elevator that has an upward acceleration a. The scale reads 928 N. When he picks up a 18.2 kg box, the scale reads 1223 N. Find: 1. The mass of the man. mman = 2. The weight of the man. Wman = 3. The acceleration a. a =
V. ELEVATOR REVIEW A man stands on a scale in an elevator. The elevator moves downwards at a velocity of 10 m/s. The elevator accelerates “pwards at a rate of 5 m/s.. The scale under the man reads 180 lbs. A. Is the elevator slowing down or speeding up? B. Given that 1 pound 4.5 Newtons, compute the man's mass? HINT: normal force is not necessarily cqual to weight. You have to usc NII C. The elevator reaches a complete...
