Question
Henry, whose mass is 95 kg, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. The scale reads 830 N for the first 3.8 s after the elevator starts moving, then 930 N for the next 3.8 s. What is the elevator’s speed 7.6 s after starting?

Answer:
v= 4.0 m/s
Explanation:
[tex]F_{g} = m*g = 95 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 930 N (1)[/tex]
[tex]F_{net} = F_{g} -F_{n} = m*a\\ F_{net} = 930 N – 830 N = 100 N = 95 Kg * a[/tex]
[tex]a =\frac{F_{net} }{m} =\frac{100 N}{95 kg} = 1.05 m/s2[/tex]
[tex]v_{f} = a* t = 1.05 m/s * 3.8 m/s = 4.0 m/s[/tex]
