Q1/ A 50.0kg woman inside an elevator is standing on a scale.
How will the acceleration of the elevator affect the scale reading?
Calculate the scale reading when (d) the elevator is going down with acceleration a,=-3.0 m/s², and (e) the elevator is going down with a constant velocity v,= -2.0 m/s.
You are standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator in a tall building
Your mass is m=70 kg. The elevator starts from rest and travels with a
velocity that varies with time according to = (t+0.05 )5 (m/s).

⦁ A 90-kg skydiver jumps out of a plane above the earth.
⦁ As soon as he exits the plane, when there is no air resistance, what is the skydiver’s acceleration?
⦁ After one second, he is now accelerating at a rate of 6.7 m/s/s downward. What force is the air exerting on him? (Draw a free-body diagram!)
