An object of mass 5 kg is acted on by two forces F1 = 6 i N and F2 = 7 j N. What is the magnitude of the net acceleration? Give your answer in m/s2 to 2 sf. The magnitude must be a positive number.
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?
