Question
FIGURE EX. 15 shows the velocity graph of a \(75 \mathrm{~kg}\) passenger in an elevator. What is the passenger's weight at \(t=1 \mathrm{~s}\) ? At \(5 \mathrm{~s}\) ? At \(9 \mathrm{~s}\) ?
Solution
Step 1 of 3
Here we have to find the apparent weights of the 75 kg passenger at the different times given.
The mass is, .
We know that weight is defined as the net normal reaction an object gets.
As the elevator is moving upwards and accelerating, the weight of the person is increasing.
The equation is as follows.
------------------(1)
Where N is the normal reaction.
G is the acceleration due to gravity.
A is the upward acceleration.

Problem 3CQ Kat, Matt, and Nat are arguing about why a physics book on a table doesn’t fall. According to Kat, “Gravity pulls down on it, but the table is in the way so it can’t fall.” “Nonsense,” says Matt. “There are all kinds of forces acting on the book, but the upward forces overcome the downward forces to prevent it from falling.” “But what about Newton’s first law?” counters Nat. “It’s not moving, so there can’t be any forces acting on it.” None of the statements is exactly correct.

Large objects have inertia and tend to keep movingNewton's first law. Life is very different for small microorganisms that swim through water. For them, drag forces are so large that they instantly stop, without coasting, if they cease their swimming motion. To swim at constant speed, they must exert a constant propulsion force by rotating corkscrew-like flagella or beating hair-like cilia. The quadratic model of drag of Equation 6.16 fails for very small particles. Instead, a small object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force, \(\vec{D}=(b v\), direction opposite the motion), where \(b\) is a constant. For a sphere of radius \(R\), the drag constant can be shown to be \(b=6 \pi \eta R\), where \(\eta\) is the viscosity of the liquid. Water at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) has viscosity \(1.0 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~s} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\). a. A paramecium is about \(100 \mu \mathrm{m}\) long. If it's modeled as a sphere, how much propulsion force must it exert to swim at a typical speed of \(1.0 \mathrm{~mm} / \mathrm{s}\)? How about the propulsion force of a \(2.0-\mu \mathrm{m}\)-diameter \(E\). coli bacterium swimming at \(30 \mu \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) ? b. The propulsion forces are very small, but so are the organisms. To judge whether the propulsion force is large or small relative to the organism, compute the acceleration that the propulsion force could give each organism if there were no drag.
