A theory can help create a model
Answer:
(A) Reading will be 65 N
(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N
Explanation:
We have given the balance force = 65 N
Acceleration due to gravity 
We know that W=mg
So 
m = 6.632 kg
(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N
(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of 
So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4=
So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N
Answer:

Explanation:
using the law of the conservation of energy:


where K is the spring constant, x is the spring compression, N is the normal force of the block,
is the coefficiet of kinetic friction and d is the distance.
Also, by laws of newton, N is calculated by:
N = mg
N = 3.35 kg * 9.81 m/s
N = 32.8635
So, Replacing values on the first equation, we get:

solving for
:

Answer:
7,14545 mph and 3,1936 m/s
Explanation:
The average speed is calculated by dividing the displacement over time, then it is 26,2 miles/(3 2/3 hours), here 3 (2/3) hours is a mixed number, that represents 11/3 hours or 3,66 hours. Then the average speed is 7,14545 mph, now to turn this into meters per second, we notice as mentioned that 1 mile =1609 meters and 1 hour=3600 seconds. Then 7,14545 miles/hour* (1 hour/3600 seconds) * (1609 meters/1 mile)=3,1936 m/s
