A woman has a mass of 55 kg. (a) What is her weight while standing on earth?

A 50 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension in the rope if: (c) The box has vy = 5.0 m/s and is speeding up at 5.0 m/s^2

A 50 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension in the rope if: (b) The box moves up at a steady 5.0 m/s?

Astronauts in space 'weigh' themselves by oscillating on a spring. Suppose the position of an oscillating 75 kg astronaut is given by x = (0.30 m) sin ((𝝅 rad/s) X t), where t is in s. What force does the spring exert on the astronaut at (a) t = 1.0 s and (b) 1.5 s? Note that the angle of the sine function is in radians.

The mass of the sun is 2.0 x 10^30 kg. A 5.0 x 10^14 kg comet is 75 million kilometers from the sun. What is the magnitude of the comet's acceleration toward the sun?

It takes the elevator in a skyscraper 4.0 s to reach its cruising speed of 10 m/s. A 60 kg passenger gets aboard on the ground floor. What is the passenger's weight (c) After the elevator reaches its cruising speed?

It takes the elevator in a skyscraper 4.0 s to reach its cruising speed of 10 m/s. A 60 kg passenger gets aboard on the ground floor. What is the passenger's weight (a) Before the elevator starts moving?

Zach, whose mass is 80 kg, is in an elevator descending at 10 m/s. The elevator takes 3.0 s to brake to a stop at the first floor. (a) What is Zach's weight before the elevator starts braking?

FIGURE EX6.19 shows the velocity graph of a 75 kg passenger in an elevator. What is the passenger's weight at t=1s? At 5 s? At 9 s?
