A 535.4-N physics student stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator that is supported by a cable. The combined mass of student plus elevator is 761.2 kg Part A What is the acceleration if the scale reads 416 N as the elevator starts moving? Notice that g 9.8 m/s2 and the sign of the acceleration is determined by the direction. For example, the gravitational acceleration is -g--9.8m/s as the gravitational force points downward m's Submit Request Answer Part B...
A 74.0 −kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. What does the scale read (in kg) when the elevator is accelerating upward at 3.2m/s^2? What does the scale read (in N) when the elevator is accelerating downward at 3.2m/s^2? What does the scale read (in kg) when the elevator is accelerating downward at 3.2m/s^2?
Henry, whose mass is 95 kg, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. The scale reads 830 N for the first 2.8 s after the elevator starts moving, then 930 N for the next 2.8 s. What is the elevator's speed 5.6 s after starting?
You are standing on a bathroom scale and you measure the weight to be 120 lb. You then take the scale onto an elevator and stand on the scale as the elevator accelerates, during which the reading on the scale decreases to 90 lb. Which of the following statements about the elevator could be true? A. The elevator is moving upward at 2 m/s while accelerating downward at 2.45 m/s^2. B. The elevator is moving downward at 4 m/s while...
A 96.5-kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. What is the apparent weight when the elevator is (a) accelerating upward with an acceleration of 1.57 m/s2, (b) moving upward at a constant speed, and (c) accelerating downward with an acceleration of 1.79 m/s2?
A 72 kg man stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Starting from rest at the top floor, the elevator descends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.20 m/s in 0.80 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 5.00 s. The elevator then slows down for 1.50 s and comes to rest at ground level. a)What is the acceleration of the man during the first 0.80 s? Answer in units of m/s2 and use the upward direction...
A 86.8-kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. What is the apparent weight when the elevator is (a) accelerating upward with an acceleration of 1.72 m/s2, (b) moving upward at a constant speed, and (c) accelerating downward with an acceleration of 1.67 m/s2? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units
A 78 kg man stands on a bathroom scale at the center of an elevator. As the elevator accelerates from rest downwards to -11.4 m/s in 3.04 s, what is the scale reading in Newtons?
A 596-N physics student stands on a bathroom scale in an 849-kg (including the student) elevator that is supported by a cable. As the elevator starts moving, the scale reads 449 N. a)Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator. b) What is the acceleration if the scale reads 659 N ? c) If the scale reads zero, should the student worry? Explain. d)What is the tension in the cable in part A? e)What is the tension in the...
If a person steps on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating at a rate 1.300 m/s^2 (negative means downward while positive means upwards) and sees a scale reading of 660.400 Newtons what would the scale read if the elevator were not moving?
