Problem. An elevator in a high - rise building is accelerating uniformly upward and then to...
E. Suppose you are standing on the scale in the elevator and the elevator is accelerating downward with an acceleration smaller than 9.8 m/s2 i. Draw free-body diagrams of yourself, the scale, and the floor of the elevator where it interacts with the scale. ii. How must the magnitude of the force exerted by the scale on you compare with your own weight? iii. How must the reading on the scale compare with the reading you make when the elevator...
• You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is • Greater than your true weight. • Equal to your true weight. . Less than your true weight.
A 100kg person rides in an elevator accelerating 2m/s2 upward. 1.) what is the magnitude (in N) of the gravitational force on the person? 2.) what is the magnitude of the normal force of the floor on the person’s feet? 3.) what value would the acceleration have to be for the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the floor on the person’s feet to be equal to the magnitude of their weight?
An elevator starts from rest at the bottom of a building and is now moving steadily upward (no longer speeding up). Which statement is correct about its motion now and why? A) The net force on the elevator is zero B) The net force on the elevator is greater than zero C) The net force on the elevator is negative, downward D) The net force is equal to the weight of the elevator
You step into a high-speed elevator on the top floor of a tall building and push the button for the first floor. The elevator accelerates downwards. How does the normal force N exerted on you by the floor of the elevator compare to your weight? Select one: O a. the normal force is equal to your weight O b. It depends on how fast you are moving O c. the normal force is greater than your weight O d. the...
please clarify when you can and please use easy to read hand writting. always upvote, thanks! Assume that while ascending, an elevator has the same magnitude of acceleration "a" during starting (accelerating) and stopping (decelerating). A person stands on a scale in that elevator, and hence pushes downwards on the scale. The scale also reacts with an upward normal force. The maximum and minimum scale readings are Nace = 600 N and N dec = 400 N, respectively. acceleration of...
2) Rita is in an elevator that is moving at a constant velocity downward. If the elevator now experiences an acceleration so that it speeds up, the normal force Rita experiences A) becomes greater than her weight. B) remains equal to her weight. C) becomes less than her weight, but not equal to zero. D) becomes zero. E) cannot be determined without more information. 11) A rope connects object A (mass 4m) with object B (mass m). (Object A is...
a(m/s) F1. An elevator is on the 20° floor of a 40-floor building. At time 1-0, 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 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...
_________An elevator suspended by a vertical cable is moving downward but slowing down. The tension in the cable must be A) greater than the weight of the elevator. B) less than the weight of the elevator. C) equal to the weight of the elevator. ______ A bucket is being lowered by a very light rope with a constant downward velocity. The tension in the rope must be A) equal to the weight of the bucket. B) greater than the weight...
Interactive Exercises 5.07: Normal Force and Accelerating Particle For a physics class experiment, you place a Red Delicious apple (mass m = 0.100 kg) at rest on a bathroom scale, and place the combination on the floor of an elevator in a tall building. The elevator is initially at rest-see Interactive Fig. 5.7.1 Cable ty Elevator Apple Bathroom scales Interactive Figure 5.7.1: An apple sits on a bathroom scale that rests on the floor of an elevator. Initially, the elevator...
