Answer:

N = 648.55[N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

∑F =  Forces applied [N]

m = mass = 73.2 [kg]

a = acceleration = 0.950 [m/s²]

Let's assume the direction of the upward forces as positive, just as if the movement of the box is upward the acceleration will be positive.

By performing a summation of forces on the vertical axis we obtain all the required forces and other magnitudes to be determined.

-m*g + N = -m*a\\

where:

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

N = normal force (or weight) measured by the scale = 83.4 [N]

Now replacing:

-(73.2*9.81)+N=-73.2*0.950\\-718.092+N=-69.54\\N = -69.54+718.092\\N = 648.55[N]

The acceleration has a negative sign, this means that the elevator is descending at that very moment.

A 10-kg dog is running with a speed of 5.0 m/s. what is the minimum work required to stop the dog in 2.40 s?
ankoles [38]
Given required solution

M=10kg W=? W=Fd
v=5.0m/s F=mg
t=2.40s =10*10=100N
S=VT
=5m/s*2.4s
=12m
so W=12*100
W=1200J

Two scientists interpret the same set of data differently. How would the scientific community deal with this problem?
alexdok [17]
The correct answer would be D. A new experiment would be needed to be done in order to test the conclusions. In science there is no authority, data is the only thing that matters. So if we have two different conclusions from the same date the only solution is to perform more tests and more experiments to see what is correct.
