A 120-kg astronaut is riding in a rocket sled that is sliding along an inclined plane. The sled has a horizontal component of acceleration of 5.0m/s2 and a downward component of 3.8m/s2 . Calculate the magnitude of the force on the rider by the sled. (Hint: Remember that gravitational acceleration must be considered.)
Shannon has a mass of 60 kg and steps into an elevator on the top floor of a building with her bathroom scale. The elevator accelerates towards to lobby, 15 floors below, at 3 m/s2. When Shannon steps onto the scale, what does it read (in N)?
An 80.0 kg man is standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate thescale reading:(Draw a free-body diagram for each question)a) If the elevator accelerates upward at a rate of 1.20 m/s^2. b) If the elevator moves upward at a constant velocity of 1.00 m/s.
A person stands on a scale inside an elevator at rest. The scale reads W=666 N. The elevator moves with a steady speed of 6 m/s. What does the scale read now?
A 100 car train is pulled by a 200T locomotive. Assume that the cars are all identical and weigh 100T each. The train accelerates from 0 - 10m/s in 200s, and we ignore friction and air resistance. Roughly sketch this train as a single object (you don't have to sketch all 100 cars). - What is the mass of the entire train (in Tonnes and kg)? - What is the train's acceleration in m/s^2? - What is the (tractive) Force supplied against the rails by the locomotive in N and kN to accelerate the train? - What is your day of birth (dd)? This is your car number counting back from the locomotive. - Draw the FBD for your single car on this train while it is accelerating, and briefly explain forces. - Find weight and normal force (magnitude and direction) for your car, add these to the FBD. - Calculate the forward coupler tension (magnitude and direction for the attachment point of your car to the forward part of the train pulled by the locomotive) for your car, add to the FBD, and explain.
Zach whose mass is 85 kg, is in an elevator descending at 11 m/s. The elevator takes 3.3 s to brake to a stop at the first floor what is zach's weight before elevator starts braking? (express using appropriate units) what is zach's weight while elevator is braking (express using appropriate units)
A 60.0-kg person rides in elevator while standing on a scale. The elevator starts traveling downward but slowing down at a rate of 2.00 m/s2. What is the reading on the scale?
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?
With bumpers touching, a 3,773 kg truck is pushing a 1,103 kg car. The truck and the car move forward together with a maximum forward force of 18,470 N. Assuming friction is zero, what is the magnitude of the force (in N) of the car's bumper on the truck's bumper? Hullo, everyone! I actually know the answer to this question, because I keep getting it marked as wrong - the answer is supposed to be 4178, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how. I thought it would be as simple as finding the acceleration, then multiplying by mass, but I've tried converting kg to g, tried the law of equal and oppositie reaction, tried the car's mass, tried the truck's mass, but I never even get close to the answer I've been given. The AI function on Bartleby, which I have often found quite useful, also can't get 4178. If anyone could send me the specific steps involved in getting this answer, I would be so grateful - thank you so much! 've tried everything with this question.
What happens to your weight if you are in an elevator traveling upward at a constant speed? Explain your answer.
A rope is used to pull a 2.89kg bucket of water out of a deep well. What is the acceleration of the bucket when the tension in the rope is 30.2N ? if starting from rest, what speed will the bucket have after experiencing this force for 2.16 seconds.
A 100g person standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. What will be the scale reading if the elevator accelerates upward at a rate of 1.5m/s2?
