Q1/A 50.0kg woman inside an elevator is standing on a scale. How will the acceleration of the elevator affect the scale reading? Calculate the scale reading when (a) the elevator is accelerating upward at a, 3.0 m/s², (b) the elevator is going up with a constant velocity of v=2.0 m/s, (c) the elevator is at rest, (d) the elevator is going down with acceleration a,=-3.0 m/s², and (e) the elevator is going down with a constant velocity v, -2.0 m/s.
Freefall is the motion that an object undergoes when the only force acting on the object is the force of gravity. Typically the vertical direction is labelled by the y coordinate and the constant acceleration equations of motion are simply modified (i.e. just replace a with y). v = vo + at y – Yo = vot + ať? y – Yo = } (vo + v) t v? = v3 + 2a (y – yo) Which of the following statements about freefall motion are correct? If an object in freefall has an downwards velocity of 10 m/s then the acceleration of gravity in the constant acceleration equations of motion is a = -g = -9.8 m/s². If an object in freefall has an upwards velocity of 10 m/s then the acceleration of gravity in the constant acceleration equations of motion is a = -g = -9.8 m/s². If the Y-coordinate system is chosen to point upwards (i.e. Y increases when moving up), then the acceleration of gravity in the constant acceleration equations of motion is a = -g= -9.8 m/s². For an object to be in freefall then it must be…
