- Zach, whose mass is 85 kg, is in an elevator descending at 12 m/s. The elevator takes 3 s to brake to a stop on the first floor. (a) What is Zach's weight before the elevator starts breaking?(b) What is Zach's weight while the elevator is braking?A person whose mass is m = 97.0 kg steps on a mechanical bathroom scale placed on an inclined plane that makes the angle a = 21.9° with the horizontal. What is the reading on the scale? kg reading:Object 1 has a mass = 9000 kg. Object 2 has a mass = 8000 kg. If the m1m2gravitational force between them is 1 N, find the distance between them.
- What is the apparent weight of a 65 kg person standing in an elevator that is accelerating upward at 2.34 m/s2?The values of gravitational acceleration at the surfaces of Jupiter, Pluto, and the sun are 23.12 m/s, 0.72 m/s, and 273.98 m/s, respectively. Determine your weight at each of these locations in both SI and US customary units. Assume no loss of mass results from the extreme conditions.The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 290 N. How much do they weigh on Earth? Take the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon to be gM = 1.6 m/s2 and the acceleration on Earth to be g = 9.8 m/s2. Round your answer to two significant figures and include your unit.
