A cardboard box rests on the floor of an elevator. The box has a mass m = 3.75 kg and the elevator has an upward acceleration of a

Part a. Select the Free Body Diagram for the system
Part b. Write an expression for the sum of the forces actinv on the box in the y direcion, given that up is the positive y direction. Your answer should be in terms of FN, m, g.
Part c. Write an expression for the normal force FN, that the block experiences in terms of the elevator's accelaration, the block's mass and the accelaration of gravity
Part d. If the elevator's accelaration has a magnitude of g in the downward direction, what would the normal force FN1 be in Newtons? (Numerical value)
Part e. If the elevator's accelaration had a magnitude of g in the upward direction, what would the normal force FN2 ve in Newtons? (Numerical value)

What is the slope !!!!!

Ratling [72]

Hello there! Slope is rise/run. The formula for finding slope is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1, meaning that you subtract the first x and y-coordinates from the second x and y-coordinates. We'll use the points (0, 3) and (3, 2) for this case. Plug in the values into the formula to get this:

2 - 3 / 3 - 0

Subtract the values in order to get -1/3. There. The slope of the line is -1/3.

The answer will be 12+13 because the skatepark is 12km from school and her favorite game store was 13 km so it’s 12+13=25km
