As part of a physics experiment, you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator. even though you actual weight 704 N, the scale reads 894 N. The elevator is accelerating upward, your apparent weight in the elevator is 894 N, the elevator's acceleration is 2.65 m/s^2. What is the downward acceleration of the elevator that is required so you feel weightless? If the elevator is moving up or down with a constant speed, you apparent weight is?

You walk into an elevator, step onto a scale, and push the "down" button to go directly from the tenth floor to the first floor. You also recall that your normal weight is ww = 635 N If the elevator has an initial acceleration of magnitude 2.40 m/s2m/s2, what does the scale read? Express your answer in newtons.

A man stands on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating upward. The scale reads 973.8 N. When he holds a 44.0 kg box, the scale reads 1449.8 N. What is the man's mass? and What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator?
Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.21 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 102.9 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.
Suppose that your mass is 49 kg, and you are standing on a scale fastened to the floor of an elevator. The scale measures force and is calibrated in newtons. What does the scale read (in units of Newtons) when the elevator is descending with downward acceleration of magnitude 1.9 m/s2? Take g=9.8 m/s2.
How do you find the normal force between a table with a mass of 35 kg and the floor? (Assume that normal force and gravity are the only two vertical forces.) Your answer: The normal force is the same number - 35 kg. Multiply the mass by the coefficient of friction. Multiple the mass by gravitational acceleration (g = 9.8 m/s²) The normal force is zero because the table isn't moving vertically. The normal force is 9.8 N because it is on Earth. Clear answer
You have most likely been in an elevator that accelerates upward as it moves toward a higher floor. In this case, you feel heavier. In fact, if you are standing on a bathroom scale at the time, the scale measures a force having a magnitude that is greater than your weight. Therefore, you have tactile and measured evidence that leads you to believe you are heavier in this situation. Are you heavier?
A 60 kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. How many Newtons does the scale read: a) when the elevator is ascending with an acceleration of 1 m/s2? b) when the elevator is descending with an acceleration of 1 m/s2? c) when the elevator is ascending at a constant speed of 3 m/s?
A firefighter of mass 79 kg slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 4 m/s2.The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s2.What is the friction force that acts on him?Answer in units of N.
A 42.3 kg object rests on a table. The table is placed in an elevator and accelerates upwards at 1.55 m/s2. What is the Normal force (Apparent Weight) exerted by the table on the object? Use g = 10.0 m/s2.
A stack of two crates is being accelerated upwards by two cables. The cables are directly attached to crate 1 and the tension in each cable is 3248 N. You may assume that the masses of the cables are negligible compared to the masses of the crates. The acceleration of the crates is? bottom crate crate 1 is 109 kg. the top crate is 248 kg.
A physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 240.0 g mass on an electronic balance. The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is accelerating upwards, the electronic balance reads 292.0 g. What is the acceleration of the elevator? Consider: UP to be (+), DOWN to be (-) and g =9.8 m/s2 .
