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 accelerating upward at 2.45 m/s^2/ C. upward at 4 m/s while accelerating upward at 2.45 m/s^2. D. at rest while accelerating downward at 7.35 m/s^2. E. The elevator is at rest while accelerating upward at 7.35 m/s^2.

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 140 lb person rides in elevator while standing on a scale that reads in slugs. For each part below, draw a free body diagram, write the equations for Newton’s second law and solve. a.) If the elevator accelerates upward at 2.53 ft/s^2, what is the reading on the scale? b.) If the elevator accelerates downward at 1.53 ft/s^2, what is the reading on the scale? c.) If the elevator moves upward at a constant velocity of 2.53 ft/s, what...
You are standing on a bathroom scale inside an elevator. Your weight (as measured on a bathroom scale under ordinary conditions) is 168.3 lb, but reading on the scale is 146.5 lb. What is the y-component of the acceleration?
You are standing on a scale in an elevator initially at rest and the scale reads 71.2 kg. The elevator begins to ascend and accelerates at a rate of 3.57 m/s 2 . What would the scale read (in kg) when the elevator is moving upwards and accelerating?
Suppose you are standing on a weighing scale in an elevator that accelerates downward with a magnitude of 9.8 m/s2. The reading of the scale a) is zero b) is less than when the elevator was st rest c) is greater than when the elevator was at rest d) is the same as when the elevator was at rest e) none of these
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)
A 75 kg person is standing on a scale in an elevator. What is the reading of the scale in newtons if the elevator is a) at rest b) moving up at a constant velocity of 2.00 m/s c) accelerating up at 2.00 m/s
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?
-14 points GPHYSO2 6.PP.13. Your mass is 50 kg. You stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator on Earth. (a) What force would the scale exert wherf the elevator moves up at a constant speed? (b) What force would the scale exert when it slows at 1.8 m/s2 while moving upward? (c) What force would the scale exert when it speeds up at 1.8 m/s2 wile moving downward? N (d) What force would the scale exert when it moves...
2. A man is standing on a scale that reads out his apparent weight in Newtons in an accelerating elevator. If the scale reads that he weighs 1200N while the elevator is accelerating and his mass is 79kg, what is the acceleration of the elevator? (Up is positive) a. 4.7 m/s b. -5.4 m/s c. +5.4 m/s? d. -9.8 m/s e. +4.7 m/s? f. O m/s2
