The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 m/ s^{2}

F - w = ma \\

F = w + ma

F = m ( a +g )

F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\

F = 75 ( 11.5 )

F = 862.5 N

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction.  Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.

2. When an unbalanced force acts upon it

Think of a glass of milk resting on a table. The glass weighs a certain amount more due to the load it carries. It would be unaffected until and unbalanced force (such as a hand) carelessly knocks it over spilling the contents.

Hope this helps :)

What is the relationship between mass and weight in physics?
Alex_Xolod [135]

We are aware that weight is the product of applied gravitational force and mass. W = MG thus, where W represents the weight, M the mass, and G the gravitational force. As a result, it might also mean that "an object's weight is directly proportionate to its mass."

<h3>What is mass?</h3>
  • Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter.
  • It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia, or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force.
  • The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
  • The kilogram is the primary mass unit in the SI (kg).
  • Even though weight is frequently measured using a spring scale rather than a balancing scale and directly compared with known masses, mass is not the same as weight in physics.
<h3>What is weight?</h3>
  • The force exerted on an object by gravity is known as the weight of the object in science and engineering.
  • Weight is sometimes described as a vector quantity, or the gravitational force exerted on the object, in some common textbooks.
  • Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the gravitational force's strength.
  • Others define it as the strength of the force applied to a body as a result of systems designed to resist the effects of gravity; the weight is the amount that is determined, for instance, by a spring scale.

You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is __________.
tatyana61 [14]

Given the following choices;

A) less than your true weight, mg.

B) equal to your true weight, mg.

C) more than your true weight, mg.

D) could be more or less than your true weight, mg, depending on the value of the speed.

The answer is; C

This is due to G-force. These are the perception of the weight of an object that is accelerating against gravity. We experience 1 g force on the surface of the earth because the ground exerts an upward exertion against gravity preventing as from falling to the center of the earth.

A strong man and a weak man are trying to carry a ladder . How should they carry it in such a way that the weak person feels les
dsp73

Answer:

The strong person should carry the ladder at the  front end and the weak person should carry it at the back end.

Explanation:

this is because in such a case the strong person has to pull the ladder whereas the weak person at the back end have to push the ladder. In such case it is easier to push because the weak person can use the force of gravity of his own body for pushing the ladde.

However in case of pulling the ladder one has to overcome his own gravity to pull the heavy object
