"What values would a bathroom scale have on a trip from the 1st to the fifteenth floor?" |
Imagine a person weighs 600. N
Start
- Scale reading goes up
(greater than 600. N) Inertia
(Object rest tends to stay at rest)
Most of trip up:
(W = 600. N) Constant velocity
Net force = 0
Slow Down and Stop
- (Scale reading less than 600. N)
Object in motion tends to stay in motion
Is this elevator going up or down?
The elevator was going down.
2nd Law - Relationship between F, m, a
Inertia - Dr. Dave Hall of Fame
Unbalanced forces
cause objects to accelerate:
| (m) | a | = | Fnet | (N) |
| (s2) | m | (Kg) |
Fnet = Resultant
1. Acceleration is directly proportional to the force exerted on an object
