A 72 kg person is standing inside an elevator. The elevator is moving upward at 2.61 m/s and is increasing speed at a rate of 1.48 m/s^2. What is the normal force that is acting on the person?

A person stands on a scale inside an elevator at rest. The scale reads 800 N. The elevator accelerates downward at the rate of 2.4 m/s ^ 2 . What does the scale read then? Calculate answer to one decimal. (use g = 9.8 m/s ^ 2 )

A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.28 × 10-5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 0.660 x 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.50 x 10-7 kg. Do not neglect the gravitational force. (Assume that the breeze blows in the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.) magnitude m/s2 direction o counterclockwise from the +x-axis Additional Materials

Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.47 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 98.1 kg, what would the scale read? HINT: you need to take into account the acceleration due to gravity, as well as that of the elevator.

A 80 kg woman on roller skates pushes a 30 kg girl, also on roller skates, with a force of 100 N. The magnitude of the force exerted by the girl on the woman is O 200 N O 100 N O 50 N O 40 N O 38 N zero

A 92.4 kg person is standing inside an elevator. The person is riding the elevator from the 12th floor down to the 3rd floor (a distance of 30.8 m). As the elevator passes the 4th floor it is slows at a rate of 0.620 m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the person as the elevator passes the 4th floor?

A person stands on a scale inside an elevator at rest. The scale reads 980 N. The elevator then accelerates upward momentarily at the rate of 4 m/s ^2 what does the scale read then?

A 83.2 kg person is standing inside an elevator. The elevator is moving upward at 2.54 m/s and is decreasing speed at a rate of 1.82 m/s^2. What is the normal force that is acting on the person?

A "doomsday" asteroid with a mass of 1.0 × 1010 kg is hurtling through space. Unless the asteroid's speed is changed by about 0.25 cm/s, it will collide with Earth and cause tremendous damage. Researchers suggest that a small "space tug" sent to the asteroid's surface could exert a gentle constant force of 2.4 N . For how long must this force act?

A woman stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, the scale reads 60kg. What will be the reading of the scale in kg when the elevator accelerates. (a) upward at 1.2 m/s^2. (b) downward at 1.2 m/s^2. (c) At what acceleration of the elevator would the person appear to be weightless? Draw the FBD of the problem.
