Timmy is performing an experiment where he weighs himself in a moving elevator. If Timmy's mass is 56 kg and the elevator is accelerating upwards at -1.05 m/s^2, what is the magnitude of the normal force of the elevator acting on Timmy?
Homework Answers
using F = ma along upward direction,
N - mg = ma
N - 56x9.81 = 56 x (-1.05)
N = 490.56 N

A single mass (m1 = 4.4 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator.
A single mass (m1 = 4.4 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 270 N/m. 1) What is the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length? 2) Now, three masses (m1 = 4.4 kg, m2 = 13.2 kg and m3 = 8.8) hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant given above. What is the magnitude of the force the bottom spring exerts on the...

(a) An elevator of mass m moving upward has two forces acting on it: the upward force of tension in the cable and the downward force due to gravity. When the elevator is accelerating upward, which is greater, T or w? Tw Both forces are equal. (b) When the elevator is moving at a constant velocity upward, which is greater, T or w?

A box of mass M sits on the oor of an elevator at rest. Gravity (which has a strength set by the local acceleration due to gravity g) pulls the box and the oor pushes the box. The net or total force on the box is zero. What is the force on the box from the oor? Give both the magnitude and the direction. Now imagine that the elevator is accelerating upwards at acceleration a. Now the two forces on...
