Answer:

greater than your true weight

Explanation:

When going up in an elevator the acceleration of the elevator is added to the acceleration due to gravity. This will increase the reading on the scale.

The expression of the resultant weight will be

N=m(a+g)

where,

m = Mass of the person

g =  Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Acceleration of the elevator.

Hence, the reading on the scale is <u>greater than your true weight.</u>

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.14 m. The mug
defon
Say the horizontal component of the velocity is vx and the vertical is vy.
Initially at t=0 (as the mug leaves the bar) the components are v0x and v0y.
Obviously (I hope!) v0y = 0.

The equations for horizontal and vertical projectile motion (with the positive direction up) are

x = x0 + v0x t
y = y0 + v0y t - 1/2 g t^2 = y0 - 1/2 g t^2

Now choose the origin to be the end of the counter. x0=0 and y0=0. The equations simplify to

x = v0x t
y = - 1/2 g t^2

You know that x = 1.20m when y = -0.88m
From the y equation (and g=10 m/s^2) you can calculate the time that the mug hits the floor.
t = 0.420s
From the x equation we get the initial horizontal velocity
v0x = x/t = 1.2/0.42 = 2.86 m/s

(b) x-component of velocity is constant since there are no horizontal forces so vx = 2.86 m/s
y-component is given by v = u+at with u=0 and a=-g
vy = -gt = -4.2m/s

Now tan(angle) = vy/vx so angle = arctan(vy/vx)
