Suppose a person with a mass of 60 kg is in an elevator standing on a scale that reads in Newtons. Use a free body diagrams of the scale and the person to determine what the scale would read for the following situations:
A. If the elevator is descending at 4.9 m/s.
B. If the elevator has a downward acceleration of 4.9 m/s2 .
C. If the elevator has an upward acceleration of 4.9 m/s2 .
explain WHY
In first case, acceleration is zero as the velocity is constant, in other two cases we have used FBDs and force equation to reach answer

Need this answered ASAP!!! 5. A person of mass 70 kg, is descending in an elevator at a constant velocity of 4.0 m/s. At 10 seconds, the elevator starts to slow to a stop at the rate of 1.0 m/s2 a) Draw a Free Body Diagram for the person in the elevator as it descends at (a) constant speed and (b) during its period of acceleration. a) Constant Speed b) Acceleration b) The man in the elevator is standing on...
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 person has a mass of 90kg. He is standing on a scale in an elevator. The elevator is accelerating upward at 5/3 m/s2. What does the scale read on the earth and moon in kg?
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?
3,4? 3. A 100-kg person stwnds on a scale fastened to the floor of an elevator. The scale reads in newtons. What does the scale read when (a) the elevator is moving with upward acceleration a (b) the elevator is moving with downward acceieration a' and (c) the elevator is moving upward at 20 m/s while its speed is decreasing at a rate of 8 m/s?? 4. A beer stein of mass 0.45 kg slides horizontally along the bar with...
