51 - Option (a)
there are two forces acting on the elevator when the elevator is moving down,
1. the tension in the cable pulling up 2. gravity pulling down0.
due to this elevator is slowing down then it has a net acceleration upwards which means the upwards force must be greater than the weight due to gravity pulling downwards.
The tension is the cable is greater than the weight of the elevator
52 - A
As the bucket is moving with constant downward velocity the weight and tension acts downwards.
therefore The tension is the rope is equal to the weight of the elevator.

_________An elevator suspended by a vertical cable is moving downward but slowing down. The tension in...
(a) An elevator of mass m moving upward has two forces acting on it: the upward force of tension in the cable and the downward force due to gravity. When the elevator is accelerating upward, which is greater, T or w? T w Both forces are equal. (b) When the elevator is moving at a constant velocity upward, which is greater, T or w? T w Both forces are equal. (c) When the elevator is moving upward, but the acceleration...
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...
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...
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
(a) An elevator of mass m moving upward has two forces acting on it: the upward force of tension in the cable and the downward force due to gravity. When the elevator is accelerating upward, which is greater, T or w? Tw Both forces are equal. (b) When the elevator is moving at a constant velocity upward, which is greater, T or w? Tw Both forces are equal. (c) When the elevator is moving upward, but the acceleration is downward, which is...
To understand the concept of tension and the relationship between tension and force. This problem introduces the concept of tension. The example is a rope, oriented vertically, that is being pulled from both ends. (Figure 1) Let Fu and Fd (with u for up and d for down) represent the magnitude of the forces acting on the top and bottom of the rope, respectively. Assume that the rope is massless, so that its weight is negligible compared with the tension....
help :( (diagrams 2,3,4 are included here ) QUESTION 7 A box is at rest on a horizontal, frictionless table. Horizontal force F1 points along the positive x-axis; when it is the only force acting on the box, the box accelerates at 6.75 m/s. Force F3 is also horizontal; it has magnitude 2.85F, and acts at an angle 22.6° to the direction of F1. If forces F1 and F3 act on the box at the same time, find the magnitude...
this example shows the uses of co-coordinate axes, my question is why is it that we can substitute T for w2 for the second equation , won t it be wrong since we are using two different sets of axes does it have something to do with expressing newtons second law in terms of magnittude? can someone explain more about the uses of co-coordinate axes and when is it not apprioriate not to use it? 5.2 Using Newton's Second Law:...
