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.
Ella, with a mass 50.0 kg, is standing inside an elevator going up. The normal force of the floor on Ella is 755 N. What is the magnitude of her upward acceleration. 15.1 m/s? 265 m/s? O 5.30 m/s? 77.0 m/s?
A person who has a mass of 47 kg is standing in an elevator which is accelerating downward. Acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2.a) At what rate (in m/s2) must the elevator accelerate for the person to feel weightless? b) How heavy (in N) does the person feel if the elevator is accelerating downward at 3.3 m/s2?
Consider two blocks connected . Block A has mass 2.00 kg, and block B has mass 5.00 kg. The table on which B sits is frictionless, the cord connecting the blocks is light and flexible, and the pulley is light and frictionless. The horizontal force F S has magnitude F = 20.0 N, and block B moves to the left with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2. What is the tension in the cord that connects the two blocks?

A firefighter of mass 79 kg slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 4 m/s2.The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s2.What is the friction force that acts on him?Answer in units of N.
The motion of a very massive object is hardly affected by what would seem to be a substantial force. Consider a supertanker, with a mass of 3.0×108 kg. If it is pushed by a rocket motor (thrust force of a rocket motor is 5.0×106 N) and is subject to no other forces, what will be the magnitude of its acceleration?

Two people are pushing a truck across a parking lot. The truck has a mass of about 2 × 103 kg. First, they take turns pushing. When Person A pushes the truck, the truck accelerates at a rate of 1 m/s2. When Person B pushes the truck, it accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s?. (a) Both people stand behind the truck and push in the same direction. What is the net force on the truck? At what rate will the truck accelerate? (b) Person A stands at the back of the truck and Person B stands at the front, and they push in opposite directions. What is the net force on the truck? At what rate will the truck accelerate? In what direction? For both (a) and (b), draw a picture indicating the forces applied by A and B as well as the motion of the truck.
