<span>1) at rest his
weight is 840 N
=> 840N = mass * g => mass = 840 N / g = 840 N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 85.7 kg
2) as the elevator rises, his weight increases to 1050 N,
The reading of the scale is the norma force of it over the body of the person.
And the equation for the force is: Net force = mass * acceleration = normal force - weight at rest
=> mass * acceleration = 1050 N - 840 N = 210 N
acceleration = 210 N / mass = 210 N / 85.7 kg = 2.45 m/s^2 (upward)
3) when the elevator slows to a stop at the 10th
floor, his weight drops to 588 N
=> mass * acceleration = 588 N - 840 N = - 252 N
=> acceleration = - 252 N / 85.71 kg = - 2.94 m / s^2 (downward)
Answer:
Acceleration at the beginning of the trip 2.45 m/s^2 upward
Acceleration at the end of the trip 2.94 m/s^2 downward

55 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is given as: 0.5MV^2 where M is the mass and V is the speed of rotation. Since the masses are point masses, we calculate the point mass for each mass.
M1 = 30*0.2^2 = 1.2kgm^2
M2 = 20*0.4^2 = 3.2kgm^2
V = 5 rad/s
Calculating using the formula above, we obtain :
0.5(1.2+3.2)5^2 =0.5*4.4*25 = 55 J
