You have a mass of 75kg. On a recent elevator ride, you bring along a bathroom scale. You notice the elevator starts up, the scale reads 780 N. What is the acceleration of the elevator? what does the scale read while you are moving with a constant velocity toward the top floor? As you approach the top of the building, the elevator begins to slow down. You notice that the scale now reads 680 N now. What is the acceleration of the elevator as it stops?

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?
A box with a mass of 3.00 kg starts from rest at the top of a 32.5° incline and slides 2.00 m down the incline in 1.65 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box (in m/s2)? What is the frictional force (in N) acting on the box? What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the incline? What is the speed of the box (in m/s) after it has slid 2.00 m?
You want to hang an object from the ceiling of an elevator that has a maximum acceleration of 4.0 m/s2. a) If you hang the object with a fishing line that supports 45 N of force, what is the maximum mass the object can have if the line is not to break? Please answer in units of kg. b) What TWO combinations of slowing down, speeding up, going up and going down causes the greatest force to be exerted on the fishing line?

A spaceship is initially at rest on the surface of Mars where g = 4 m/s ^ 2 . The mass of the spaceship is 3000 kg. The engines ignite and there is an upward thrust force on the spaceship . After a period of 25 seconds of constant thrust, the spaceship has reached a velocity of the 600 m/s. what is the acceleration? What is the altitude of the spaceship at 25 seconds?
A 75.0 kg man stands on a platform scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.20 m/s in 1.00 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 10.00 s. The elevator then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y direction for 1.70 s and comes to rest. What does the scale register:(a) before the elevator starts to move? (b) during the first 1.00 s? Here, what would be the answer of b? As the lift is going up shouldn't the weight be more than what it was initially?
A 75 kg man standing on a scale in an elevator notes that as the elevator rises, the scale reads 825 N. What is the acceleration of the elevator?
