A woman of mass 54.8 kg is standing in an elevator. If the elevator floor pushes up on her feet with a force of 395 N, what is the acceleration of the elevator? Assume the +y-direction to be up. Enter a negative answer if the acceleration is downward and a positive answer if the acceleration is upward. m/s2

An accelerometer-a device to measure acceleration-can be as simple as a small pendulum hanging in an airplane cockpit. An essentially similar accelerometer is found in the inner ear of vertebrates. Suppose you are flying a small plane in a straight, horizontal line and your accelerometer hangs at a constant angle of P = 28.0∘ behind the vertical, as shown in the figure. What is your acceleration? Enter a positive answer if the acceleration is in the direction of motion and enter a negative answer if the acceleration is opposite to the direction of motion. Where P = 28.0∘ m/s2

A hungry bear weighing 735 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (see the figure below). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 5.50 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of θ = 60.0∘. The basket weighs 80.0 N. (1) (a) Draw a force diagram for the beam. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) Choose File no file selected This answer has not been graded yet. (b) When the bear is at x = 1.20 m, find the tension in the wire supporting the beam. N When the bear is at x = 1.20 m, find the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam. (Assume the positive +x direction is to the right and the positive +y direction is upward. Include the sign of the value in your answer.) Fx = N Fy = N (c) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 800 N, what is the maximum distance the bear can walk before the wire breaks? m

A student is pulling a crate with a mass of 20.0 kg along a horizontal rough floor with a rope that's inclined at an angle θ = 30.0∘ above the horizontal as shown. The tension force is measured to be 150 N. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the floor are μs = 0.35 and μk = 0.20. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate, in m/s2? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. ((Compare the result from the previous homework when there was no friction, does the answer make sense?) Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
