a 71kg man stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator. what does the scale read if the elevator is...
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 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?
As part of a physics experiment, you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Though your normal weight is 630 N , the scale at the moment reads 710 N . Part A Is the acceleration of the elevator upward, downward, or zero? Part B Explain Part C Calculate the magnitude of the elevator's acceleration. Express your answer using two significant figures. Part D What, if anything, can you say about the velocity of the elevator? Explain.
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?
You know your mass is 64 kg , but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator, it says your mass is 90 kg . What is the acceleration of the elevator?
V. ELEVATOR REVIEW A man stands on a scale in an elevator. The elevator moves downwards at a velocity of 10 m/s. The elevator accelerates “pwards at a rate of 5 m/s.. The scale under the man reads 180 lbs. A. Is the elevator slowing down or speeding up? B. Given that 1 pound 4.5 Newtons, compute the man's mass? HINT: normal force is not necessarily cqual to weight. You have to usc NII C. The elevator reaches a complete...
Florence, who weighs 540 N, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. What will she see the scale read when the elevator is accelerating while moving downward at 1.85 m/s²?(g = 9.8 m/s²)
Suppose Arturo is standing on a spring bathroom scale in an elevator, which is at rest, on the 15th floor. What is his acceleration? What forces are acting on him? What is the reading (in Newtons) on the bathroom scale if he has a mass of 150 kg? (Draw it out and Label it) Now imagine disaster - the rope holding the elevator snaps, there are no safety features, and the elevator plunges down the shaft in free fall. Herrera...
A woman stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale briefly reads only 0.77 of her regular weight. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator.
A 68-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.2 m/s in 0.77 s. The elevator travels with this constant speed for 5.0 s, undergoes a uniform negative acceleration for 1.8 s, and then comes to rest. (a) What does the spring scale register before the elevator starts to move? N (b) What does the spring scale register during the first 0.77 s of the elevator's ascent?...
