Explain what the concept of force means in physics, why forces are vectors, and the significance of the net force on an object?
Once you reach the 21st floor you decide that your urge to understand physics is too great so you decide to ride the elevator back to the ground floor to analyze what happens. The elevator accelerates downward at 2 m/s2.
What is the Gravitational Force?
Since the elevator is accelerating downward does the Normal Force have to be greater than, equal to or less than the Force of Gravity?
Are the forces balanced or unbalanced?
Draw a free body diagram of the forces acting on you. Be sure to draw the size of your arrows appropriately.
What is the Net Force, using Newton’s 2nd Law, while the elevator is accelerating downward?
What is the Normal Force?
What does the scale read as the elevator is accelerating downward
⦁ A 90-kg skydiver jumps out of a plane above the earth.
⦁ As soon as he exits the plane, when there is no air resistance, what is the skydiver’s acceleration?
⦁ After one second, he is now accelerating at a rate of 6.7 m/s/s downward. What force is the air exerting on him? (Draw a free-body diagram!)
