Answer:
5.51 m/s^2
Explanation:
Initial scale reading = 50 kg
assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg
<u>Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators</u>
At rest the weight is = 50 kg
Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N<u>
</u>
<u>
</u>At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg
Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N
F = change in weight
Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)
50 * a = 275.61
Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2
Explanation:
Newton's second law of motion states F=ma which means force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration which in simple terms means If you give mass force it will accelerate the concept of force in physics is any interaction that when unopposed will change the motion of an object.
