- As a rocket ascends higher into the air, it's acceleration increases even if the force on it remains the same. Explain why this occurs.arrow_forward5. A 76.0-kg person stands on a bathroom scale that is on the floor in an elevator. The scale reads 958 N. Which of the following situations could possibly cause this reading? (1) The elevator is moving upward while its speed is increasing. (2) The elevator is moving upward while its speed is decreasing. (3) The elevator is moving downward while its speed is increasing. (4) The elevator is moving downward while its speed is decreasing.arrow_forwardA ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) O the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward. O the velocity, acceleration, and the force of gravity on the ball all reverse direction. O the velocity and acceleration reverse direction, but the force of gravity on the ball remains downward. 4 O the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward. the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is zero.
