2. When an unbalanced force acts upon it
Think of a glass of milk resting on a table. The glass weighs a certain amount more due to the load it carries. It would be unaffected until and unbalanced force (such as a hand) carelessly knocks it over spilling the contents.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Explanation:
All this information only applies to the person. There is an extra tension force if we are talking about the elevator, but we are not. Dont forget to apply the units
Acceleration means change in speed or velocity. The elevator is moving at a constant speed of 3 meters. You wont even know you are moving because there is no change in acceleration. It equals 0
The forces ONLY acting on the person would be the force of gravity pulling them down, and the normal force that the elevator is reciprocating from the person standing on it.
Force = mass x acceleration. You have 100 kg and you are accelerating at 0 m/s. The force is 0. Which makes sense because the force of gravity and the net force completely cancel each other out.
