The bottom of a freight elevator has a scale that measures the normal force between the floor of the elevator and the materials in the elevator. What force will the scale measure if 450 kg of materials is in the elevator and it is accelerating up at a rate of 1.0 m/s2? Your answer: O 450 N 4000 N 4400 N O 4900 N

An inflated spherical beach ball with a radius of 0.3573 m and average density of 10.65 kg/m3 is being held under water in a pool by Janelle. The density of the water in the pool is 1000.0 kg/m3. When Janelle releases the ball, it begins to rise to the surface. If the drag coefficient of the ball in the water is 0.470 and the constant upward force on the ball is 1875 N, what will be the terminal speed of the ball as it rises? Ignore the effects of gravity on the ball.
The shower curtain rod in Figure P6.7 is called a tension rod. The rod is not attached to the wall with screws, nails, or glue, but is pressed into the wall instead. Explain why the rod remains at rest, supporting the curtain. Explain why the name is misleading and come up with a better name. FIGURE P6.7

An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary, the tension in the cable was 6500 N. When the craft was lowered or raised at a steady rate, the motion through the water added an 1800 N drag force. What was the tension in the cable when the craft was being lowered to the seafloor?
A block is on a frictionless table, on earth. The block accelerates at 2.6 m/s 2 when a 70 N horizontal force is applied to it. The block and table are set up on the moon. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon is 1.62 m/s 2. The weight of the block on the moon is closest to: O 38 N O 33 N O 27 N O 22 N O 44 N

Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of Tim's birthday gift and the driveway?
