Question
**Problem 5:**

**Learning Objectives 6 & 7** - Calculate the apparent weight of a passenger with a mass of 50 kg when the acceleration \(a = 2 \, \text{m/s}^2\) and the velocity \(v = 5 \, \text{m/s}\). Draw a free body diagram for each case. Determine in which scenario the apparent weight of the passenger will be greater than \(mg\).

**Diagrams:**

1. **Diagram A:**
   - The passenger is in a frame moving upwards.
   - An arrow labeled \(a\) points upwards, indicating acceleration.

2. **Diagram B:**
   - The passenger is in a frame moving downwards.
   - An arrow labeled \(a\) points downwards, indicating acceleration.

3. **Diagram C:**
   - The passenger is in a frame moving upwards with constant velocity.
   - An arrow labeled \(v\) points upwards, indicating velocity.

Consideration is required to determine the effect of acceleration and velocity on the apparent weight in each case.
