Answer: Smaller than ; larger than
Explanation:
When the elevator is moving in the upward direction, then the force acting on it is negative in nature because of
N= mg +ma, (g is gravity and a is acceleration)
here ma is negative so the N= mg-ma
Hence, it feels smaller than its original weight.
When the elevator is moving downward , then the force acting will be positive in nature
N= mg+ma,
here ma will be positive so it feels larger the original weight of passenger.
Answer:
u =0.269
Explanation:
To find the coefficient of friction we know the following formula

Where
= Force of Friction
= Coefficient of Friction
= Normal Force
Thus we first find the Normal force (N). Remember that the Normal force is perpendicular to the surface, and is equal to the opposing component of Weight (W). Since the surface here is horizontal, then the Normal force will be equal to the Weight.

Now we find the Force on the spring that caused the extension of 3.25cm or 0.0325m

Where
= Force of Friction
= Force Constant
= extension
Hence

Now to find the coefficient of friction we use the first formula
