Problem 5.49 You've always wondered about the acceleration of the elevators in the 101-story-tall Empire State Building. One day, while visiting New York, you take your bathroom scale into the elevator and stand on it. The scale reads 150 lb as the door closes. The reading varies between 130 lb and 170 lb as the elevator makes its upward journey. What is the magnitude of the acceleration as the elevator brakes to a stop?

y Problem 3: The diagram shows the all of the forces acting on a body of mass 2.31 kg. The three forces have magnitudes F₁ = 50.6 N, F2 = 20.8 N, and F3 = 75.8 N, with directions as indicted in the diagram, where 0 = 39.6 degrees and p = 30.1 degrees. The dashed lines are parallel to the x and y axes. At t = 0, the body is moving at a speed of 7.93 m/s in the positive x direction.

A woman stands on a scale in a moving elevator. Her mass is 72.0 kg, and the combined mass of the elevator and scale is an additional 815 kg. Starting from rest, the elevator accelerates upward. During the acceleration, the hoisting cable applies a force of 9390 N. What does the scale read during the acceleration? N
A physics professor is pushed up a ramp inclined upward at an angle 30.0° above the horizontal as he sits in his desk chair that slides on frictionless rollers. Part A The combined mass of the professor and chair is 86.0 kg. He is pushed a distance 2.10 m along the incline by a group of students who together exert a constant horizontal force of 610N. The professor's speed at the bottom of the ramp is 1.85 m/s Use the work-energy theorem to find his speed at the top of the ramp. Express your answer in meters per second. V ΑΣφ ? V = m/s 國

A 2.50-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 6t² - 2 and y = 5t³ + 1, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 1.60 s. N
Please use at least 4 significant figures throughout the entire problem! Also use 9.80m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. DO NOT USE 10 M/S2 FOR THE ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY! Thank You.
You are in a rocketship in deep space accelerating upwards with acceleration A. At the top of an inclined plane in the rocketship, you place a block of mass m. The length of the incline is L. If you let go of the block, what is the time taken by the block to reach the bottom of the incline? θ is the angle that the incline makes with the horizontal, and you make sure that the incline cannot move. Assume no friction.
