You are in your favorite elevator, coming to a stop as you go from the ground floor to the 4th floor.
a) What forces are acting on you as you are coming to a
stop in the elevator?
Normal force upward and Force of gravity upward
Normal force downward and Force of gravity upward
Normal force downward and Force of gravity downward
Normal force upward and Force of gravity downward
Just the Force of gravity downward
b) As you are coming to a stop, are you accelerating and
if so, which way are you accelerating?
No, there is no acceleration
Yes, accelerating downward
Yes, accelerating upward
c) As you are coming to a stop, what is the direction of
the net force acting on you?
Downward, since the velocity points down.
Upward, since the velocity points up.
Downward, since the acceleration points down.
The net force is zero, so it has no direction.
Upward, since the acceleration points up.
d) What is the correct expression for Newton's 2nd Law
in the y-direction? Use "upward" for the positive
y-direction.
|Fg| = m
ay
−|FN| −
|Fg| = m
ay
|FN| −
|Fg| = m
ay
|FN| +
|Fg| = m
ay
|FN| +
|Fg| = 0
e) As you are coming to a stop going from the ground
floor to the 4th floor, how does the size of the Normal force on
you compare with the size of your weight?
|FN| = mg
|FN| > mg, but not
zero
Impossible to tell without knowing your acceleration.
|FN| < mg
|FN| = 0

A simple elevator ride can teach you quite a bit about the normal force as this rider below can (hopefully) tell you. There are three different scenarios given, detailing the rider\'s experience in an unnamed hotel. For each scenario, calculate the normal force, FN,1-3, acting on the rider if his mass is m = 76.6 kg and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s2. In scenario 1, the elevator has constant velocity. In scenario 2 the elevator is moving...

You are conducting an experiment inside an elevator that can move in a vertical shaft. A load is hung vertically from the ceiling on a string. The tension in the string is measured to be exactly equal to the force due to gravity on the load. No other forces are acting on the load. Which of the following statements about the elevator are correct? Check all that apply. The elevator is an inertial frame of reference. The elevator is not...

A single mass (m1 = 4.4 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator.
A single mass (m1 = 4.4 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 270 N/m. 1) What is the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length? 2) Now, three masses (m1 = 4.4 kg, m2 = 13.2 kg and m3 = 8.8) hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant given above. What is the magnitude of the force the bottom spring exerts on the...
