Force of Elevator on Person Created for CVCA Physics By Dick Heckathorn 20 October 2K + 4
Elevator at rest. m = 50 kg Fscale on girl = 490 N a = 0 m/s2 Fnet = 0 Fearth on girl = 490 N = m . g Fscale on girl = 490 N
Elevator up, accelerating up Fa = 150 N m = 50 kg Fscale on girl = 490 N a = 3 m/s2 Fa = 150 N Fearth on girl = 490 N Fscale on girl = 490 N + 150 N = 640 N
Elevator up, constant speed m = 50 kg Fscale on girl = 490 N a = 0 m/s2 Fnet = 0 Fearth on girl = 490 N Fscale on girl = 490 N
Elevator up, slowing down Fscale on girl = 490 N m = 50 kg a = 3 m/s2 Fa = 150 N Fearth on girl = 490 N Fa = 150 N Fscale on girl = 490 N - 150 N = 340 N
Elevator at rest. m = 50 kg Fscale on girl = 490 N a = 0 m/s2 Fnet = 0 Fearth on girl = 490 N Fscale on girl = 490 N
Elevator down, accelerating down Fscale on girl = 490 N m = 50 kg a = 3 m/s2 Fa = 150 N Fearth on girl = 490 N Fa = 150 N Fscale on girl = 490 N - 150 N = 340 N
Elevator down, constant speed m = 50 kg Fscale on girl = 490 N a = 0 m/s2 Fnet = 0 Fearth on girl = 490 N Fscale on girl = 490 N
Elevator down, slowing down Fa = 150 N m = 50 kg Fscale on girl = 490 N a = 3 m/s2 Fa = 150 N Fearth on girl = 490 N Fscale on girl = 490 N + 150 N = 640 N
Elevator at rest. m = 50 kg Fscale on girl = 490 N a = 0 m/s2 Fnet = 0 Fearth on girl = 490 N Fscale on girl = 490 N
Cable cut Fscale on girl = 490 N m = 50 kg a = 9.8 m/s2 Fa = 490 N Fearth on girl = 490 N Fa = 490 N Fscale on girl = 0 N = 490 N Weight girl = - 490 N 490 N
That’s all folks!
