13. You are in an elevator that is traveling upward, but slowing down at a rate of 2 m/s?. If your mass is 60 kg, what is your apparent weight during this period? This one is also from the Normal force slideshow/video, near end of the unit. lenovo
A book rests on a table. The force of gravity pulls down on the book with a force of 20 newtons. What prevents the book from accelerating downward at 9.8 m/s?? (A The table presses back up on the book with a force greater than 20 newtons. B The table presses back up on the book with an equal and opposite force of 20 newtons. No answer D The table and the book together are accelerating downwards at 9.8 m/s^2. (E The inertia of the book holds it up.
60. An 8.0-kilogram block and a 2.0-kilogram block rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. When horizontal force F is applied to the 8.0-kilogram block, it accelerates at 5.0 meters per second east. If the same force was applied to the 2.0-kilogram block, the magnitude of the block's acceleration would be (1) 1.3 m/s2 (2) 2.5 m/s2 (3) 10. m/s2 (4) 20. m/s SHOW WORK, CIRCLE ANSWER, WRITE NEAT
A man standing on a scale in an elevator notices that the scale reads 40 newtons greater than his normal weight. Which type of movement of the elevator could cause this greater-than-normal reading? answer choices accelerating upward accelerating downward moving upward at a constant speed moving downward at a constant speed
A man stands on a scale while in an elevator. If the elevator is moving upward at constant speed. How does the scale reading compare to his normal weight? Again the man stands on a scale while in an elevator. Now the elevator cable breaks and the elevator is moving downward in free fall. How does the scale reading compare to his normal weight?
