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/s2?

A net force of X Newtons acts on a fun size bounty bar of mass m, causing it to accelerate at 4.0 m/s2. If the same net force X acts on a full size bounty bar of mass 2m, its acceleration will be 1.0 m/s/s 2.0 m/s/s 4.0 m/s/s 8.0 m/s/s

A book rests on a table. The force of gravity pulls down on the book with a force of 20 newtons. What prevents the book from accelerating downward at 9.8 m/s?? (A The table presses back up on the book with a force greater than 20 newtons. B The table presses back up on the book with an equal and opposite force of 20 newtons. No answer D The table and the book together are accelerating downwards at 9.8 m/s^2. (E The inertia of the book holds it up.

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?
