Question

all steps would be appreciated thank you! As part of a physics experiment, you stand on a bathroom scalein an elevator. Though your normal weight is 620 N, the scale at the moment reads 480 N. (a) Is the acceleration of the elevator upward,downward, or zero?
(b) Calculate the magnitude of the elevator'sacceleration.
m/s2

(c) What, if anything, can you say about the velocity of theelevator?

Explanation / Answer

The scale shows the force it exerts back on you currently it only exerts a 480N force on you even though youweigh 620 N consider the direction of the forces on the person you weigh down with 620 and scale pushes you up with 480 so you must be going down F= ma 620-480 = 63.3 a a=? since there is acceleration, the velocity is notconstant F= ma 620-480 = 63.3 a a=? since there is acceleration, the velocity is notconstant
