Why does weight on an elevator change though you don't leave earths gravity?
If the elevator accelerates, the acceleration will provide an additional apparent force.
How does your weight mass and the normal force exerted by the floor change when you are in an elevator that starts from rest and accelerates upward?
When you are in an elevator that starts from rest and accelerates upward, your weight (mass times gravitational acceleration) remains constant because your mass does not change. However, the normal force exerted by the floor increases during the upward acceleration. This is because the elevator's acceleration adds to the gravitational force, resulting in a greater normal force acting on you, which can be felt as an increase in apparent weight.
What are the two forces acting on a person as they move up and down in an elevator and when are these two forces equal and when are they not equal?
When the elevator is still the force of gravity due to your weight pressing downwards on the floor is equalled exactly by the floor pushing you upwards with the same force. When the elevator rises you feel a little heavier, and the elevator is pushing upwards with the same increased force. When the elevator descends you feel that you lose a little weight, and the floor pushes up at you with the equally reduced force, so you descend.
If you were to weigh yourself in an elevator that is in free fall would you weigh more?
Free fall means the upward acceleration of air resistance cancels out the downward acceleration of gravity, leaving only your mass. If you're confused about the difference between mass and weight: Weight = (mass) * (gravity (9.8 m/s^2)) Mass = weight/gravity
What is apparent molecular weight?
Apparent molecular weight refers to the molecular weight of a substance as determined through specific experimental methods, often using techniques like gel permeation chromatography or sedimentation analysis. It accounts for the effects of the molecule's size, shape, and interactions with the solvent or medium, which may differ from the actual molecular weight due to factors such as aggregation or conformational changes. As a result, the apparent molecular weight can provide insights into the behavior and characteristics of macromolecules in solution.
What is the relationship between the normal force and the apparent weight of an object in an elevator?
The normal force in an elevator is equal to the apparent weight of an object. As the elevator moves up or down, the normal force changes, affecting the apparent weight experienced by the object.
What the apparent weight if the lift moves downward with constant speed?
If you are in a lift (elevator) moving at constant speed, whether up or down, and you have no visual contact with the outside, then you don't know that the lift is moving, and no physical experiment can detect the motion. Your apparent weight is the same as when you're at 'rest'.
What happens t the reading scale as the elevator begins to move upward?
As the elevator begins to move upward, the reading on the scale will increase due to the increase in apparent weight experienced by the person inside the elevator. This increase is a result of the combination of the person's actual weight and the upward acceleration of the elevator.
When going up in an elevator your weight reported by a scale increases?
Not really. It is not the fact of GOING UP that makes your apparent weight increase, but the fact that it is ACCELERATING UPWARD. For example, while the elevator goes up at a constant speed, your apparent weight will be the same as if it weren't moving.
Why does weight on an elevator change though you don't leave earths gravity?
If the elevator accelerates, the acceleration will provide an additional apparent force.
In an elevator when is your apparent weight less than your real weight?
When the lift is accelerating downwards. See related question.
What is apparent weight?
Apparent weight of an object is the weight of an object when the object is partially or totally immersed in a fluid{liquid/gas} normally apparent weight of an object is less than the real weight of an object due to an upward force {upthrust} which is produced by the pressure difference inside the fluids.
What happens to the reading on the scale as the elevator begins to move upward to move downward?
As the elevator begins to move upward, the reading on the scale will momentarily increase. Conversely, as the elevator starts to move downward, the reading on the scale will momentarily decrease. This change in reading is due to the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the elevator, causing a shift in apparent weight.
What is the maximum weight capacity that this elevator can hold?
The maximum weight capacity of this elevator is 2000 pounds.
Elevator counter weight?
An elevator counterweight is a weight that is used to balance the weight of the elevator car. It is connected to the elevator car by a cable, which wraps around a pulley system. The counterweight moves in the opposite direction of the elevator car, helping to reduce the amount of energy needed to lift and lower the car.
How does your weight mass and the normal force exerted by the floor change when you are in an elevator that starts from rest and accelerates upward?
When you are in an elevator that starts from rest and accelerates upward, your weight (mass times gravitational acceleration) remains constant because your mass does not change. However, the normal force exerted by the floor increases during the upward acceleration. This is because the elevator's acceleration adds to the gravitational force, resulting in a greater normal force acting on you, which can be felt as an increase in apparent weight.
What is the maximum weight in units of g that can be carried by the elevator?
The maximum weight that can be carried by the elevator is 1500 grams.
