Linear Motion

This document contains 5 physics problems involving forces, motion, and inclined planes. Problem 1 asks about the net force needed to accelerate a 1000 kg car. Problem 2 gives a upward tension force on an elevator and asks for its acceleration. Problem 3 asks about the acceleration of blocks with no friction. Problem 4 provides details about an elevator's motion and asks about the readings on a scale. Problem 5 provides information about a box on an inclined plane and asks about the forces, force by the plane, and acceleration of the box.

4. A 75.0 kg man stands on a platform scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its
maximum speed of 1.20 ms-1 in 1.00 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 10.00 s. The elevator
then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y direction for 1.70 s and comes to rest. Take g = 10
ms-2. What does the scale register
(a) before the elevator starts to move? (12 marks)
