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?
A 62-kg woman in an elevator is accelerating downward at a rate of 1.6 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the elevator floor on the woman's feet?
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...
A 5.0 kg dog sits on the floor of an elevator that is accelerating downward at 1.20 m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the normal force of the elevator floor on the dog? An astronaut's weight on earth is 80 N. What is his weight on Mars where g = 3.76 m/s^2? (a) How much work does an elevator motor do to lift a 1000 kg elevator a height of 100 m? (b) How much power does the motor supply...

A block of mass 47 kg is situated on the floor of an elevator that is accelerating upward at 4.95 m/s2 . What magnitude force does the elevator floor exert on the block?
The upward normal force exerted by the floor is 620 N on an elevator passenger who weighs 650 N. What is the magnitude of the acceleration? What is the direction of the acceleration? (upward or downward)
A 34.6 kg kid in an elevator is accelerating upward at 1.56 m/s^2. What is the apparent weight of the kid? (That is, what normal force is the floor of the elevator exerting on the kid?) (answer in newtons)
