- In Example 4.6, we investigated the apparent weight of a fish in an elevator. Now consider a 72.0-kg man standing on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.20 m/s in 0.800 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 5.00 s. The elevator then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y direction for 1.50 s and comes to rest. What does the spring scale register (a) before the elevator starts to move, (b) during the first 0.800 s, (c) while the elevator is traveling at constant speed, and (d) during the time interval it is slowing down?arrow_forwardWe know from studying friction forces that static friction increases with increasing normal force between the surfaces, which becomes important for vehicles traveling on icy or snowy roads that have coefficients of static friction much smaller than those of dry pavement. In particular, the greater the normal force on the drive wheels (those coupled to the engine), the better the traction. The horizontal position of the center of mass of a typical compact automobile is located 1.1 m toward the rear as measured from the front wheel axle. The wheelbase (distance from the front wheel axle to the rear wheel axle) is 2.7 m. Assume the car is stationary on level ground and has a weight of 12,000 N. Determine the total normal force on the two front tires and on the two rear tires. Which do you suppose are the drive wheels in this case?arrow_forwardA box with mass m1 = 6.00 kg sliding on a rough table with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220 is connected by a mass-less cord strung over a mass-less, frictionless pulley to a second box of mass m2 = 12.0 kg hanging from the side of the table (Fig. P5.51).

(b) If the crates then slide onto a polished floor, where the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than 0.700, is magni- tude F more than, less than, or the same as it was when the coefficient was 0.700?
