Question

Which of the following statements ARE correct, regarding the situation if you are in a elevator, standing on a scale?

Group of answer choices

when you go up with increasing speed, the scale should give your a number greater than you actual weight

when you go down with slowing down speed, the scale should give your a number less than you actual weight

when you go up with slowing down speed, the scale should give your a number greater than you actual weight

when you go down with increasing speed, the scale should give your a number greater than you actual weight

when you go down with slowing down speed, the scale should give your a number greater than you actual weight

when you go up with slowing down speed, the scale should give your a number less than you actual weight

Answer 1

1) When we go up with increasing speed then acceleration is upward hence normal reaction is greater than weight hence weight will be Greater

True

2) when we go down with slowing speed in this case also acceleration is upwards hence weight should be more

False

3) When we go up with slowing speed hence acceleration is downwards and weight should be less than actual

False

4)When we go down with increasing speed accleration is downwards hence weight shown is less than actual

False

5) Acceleration up hence weight should be more than actual

True

6) Acceleration downwards hence weight should be less than actual

False
