Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.27 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 79.2 kg, what would the scale read? HINT: you need to take into account the acceleration due to gravity, as well as that of the elevator.
While pushing your 55.0 kg lawnmower across the lawn (μ = 0.100) you notice that the handle makes an angle that is 55.0° below the horizontal. What force must you push the lawnmower with in order to have it accelerate at 2.0 m/s²?
4.3 kg A 4.3 kg object hangs at one end of a rope that is attached to a support on a railroad boxcar. When the car accelerates to the right, the rope makes an angle of 37° with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² . Find the acceleration of the car. Answer in units of m/s². (
You place a crate of mass 35.1 kg on a frictionless 4.90-meter-long incline. You release the crate from rest, and it begins to slide down, eventually reaching the bottom 1.37 s after you released it. What is the angle of the incline? 41.9 degrees 62.9 degrees 37.1 degrees 32.2 degrees
9. A 100 kg man gets in an elevator on the 10th floor. He stands still on a scale, which is placed on the floor of the elevator, before the doors close, and the scale reads a value equal to his weight (the largest force of gravity on him). The doors close, and the elevator starts moving downward toward the 1st floor. The elevator speeds up until it reaches the 8th floor, at which point the elevator travels at a constant velocity, which it maintains until it reaches the 3rd floor, at which point it starts slowing down at a constant rate and stops by the time it reaches the 1st floor. Rank from greatest to least, the following quantities at following floors: 2nd, 5th, 9th. Explain your answers. (a) His mass (the question is asking for a ranking of the person's mass on the 2nd floor vs. the mass on the 5th floor vs. the mass on the 9th floor.) (b) His weight (c) Magnitude of normal force he exerts on the scale (d) Magnitude of normal force he exerts on the elevator floor.

7. A mass m₁ = 5.00 kg is connected by a light string that passes over a pulley of mass m3 = 8.0 kg to a mass m2 8.50 kg sliding on a frictionless inclined surface that makes an angle of 23° with the horizontal (see figure). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass m₁ and the horizontal surface is 0.19. There is no slippage between the string and the pulley. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the system? (The moment of inertia of the pulley is 1/2Mr².) m/s² m₂ m3 = m₁
