You are riding an elevator. The elevator has a built-in scale so that you can measure your weight while it is moving. (1) draw a free-body diagram that shows all the forces acting on you while the elevator is moving. You can take your body as a point and use arrows for the forces acting on the point. (2) Derive equation that shows the reading of your weight during the period when the elevator is speeding up and moving upward. (3) Derive equation that shows the reading of your weight during the period when the elevator is speeding up but moving downward. Show your work that leads to your answer. Write down your definitions of all the variables. Explain each step in your

Tom enlists the help of his friend John to move his car. They apply forces to the car as shown in the diagram. Here F, = 437 N and F, = 359 N and friction is negligible. In the diagram below, the mass of the car = 3500 kg, e, = -25° and e, = 12°. (Assume the car faces the positive x-axis before the forces are applied.) F, (a) Find the resultant force (in N) exerted on the car. magnitude N direction (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) (b) What is the acceleration (in m/s?) of the car? magnitude m/s² direction (counterclockwise from the +x-axis)
please show full solution with formulas and units.
A man stands on a scale while in an elevator. If the elevator is moving upward at constant speed. How does the scale reading compare to his normal weight? Again the man stands on a scale while in an elevator. Now the elevator cable breaks and the elevator is moving downward in free fall. How does the scale reading compare to his normal weight?
Figure 1 The diagram above (Figure 1) shows the situation for the three questions below (questions 1, 2, and 3). The numbers will change in each question but the situation is the same. Adam is pushing a cart which rolls on the floor with negligible friction. There is a book on top of the cart. The book moves with the cart (the book does not slide on the surface of the cart).
Consider the baby being weighed in the figure.Randomized Variables: f = 57 Nm = 0.51 kg 1. What is the mass (in kg) of the child and basket if a scale reading of 57 N is observed? m= 2. What is the tension T1 in the cord attaching the baby to the scale? T1= 3. What is the tension T2 in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling, if the scale has a mass of 0.51 kg? T2=
A block of mass m = 5.2 kg is pulled up a 0 = 24° incline as in the figure below with a force of magnitude F = 37 N. (a) Find the acceleration of the block if the incline is frictionless. (Give the magnitude of the acceleration.) m/s² (b) Find the acceleration of the block if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and incline is 0.12.

Question 6 This is one of three questions about #18: 18. A scale in the elevator's floor measures the weight of the passengers, and it has the correct value when the elevator is not moving. The combined mass of the passengers is 572 kg. What will the scale read if. c) the elevator is accelerating down at a constant rate of 1.5 m/s?? (This is asking for the solution to 18c in the worksheet.) Your answer: 860 N 4700 N 5600 N 6500 N Clear answer
I need help with this problem and an explanation for the solution described below. (University Physics 1: Newton's Laws (Dynamics))
Three stacked blocks have a downward force F' exerted on them as shown: Assume the system is at rest (such as blocks stacked on a stationary table). If m = 6.5 kg and F' = 9.9 N, what is the normal force exerted on the 5m block by the 8m block? Express your answer in N, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
A large mass M = 9.00 kg hangs from a massless rope that is connected to a box, m = 5.00 kg. The rope passes over a massless pulley and does not stretch. Due to the hanging mass, the box is accelerated along the surface to the left.a) Draw free-body diagrams for the mass, M, and the box, m. Indicate xy-coordinate directions for each object. Indicate the direction of positive acceleration. b) If the acceleration of the box is 5.50 m/s2 determine the coefficient of kinetic friction µk between the box and the table surface.
