    How to Calculate Force and Acceleration: Elevator, Car, and Sailboat Examples

    A person weighting 0.6kN rides in an elevator that has a downward acceleration of 1.4m/s^2. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the force of the elevator floor on the person? Answer in units of kN. use F=ma 600 N=m 9.8 is how they arrived at the weight of a...

    Calculating Angular Momentum of Disc with Mass Falling 6cm from Center

    Never mind I found out what I was doing wrong. Instead of: L initial = L final I used the: I initial + I gum=I final I then did: బ initial * I initial + బ gum*I gum=బ final*I final Since బ gum had no angular speed I ended up with: బ initial * I initial =బ final * I final and since...

    Calculating Angular Momentum of Disc with Mass Falling 6cm from Center

    If I have a solid disc with a diameter of 30 cm and a mass of 700 grams with a speed of 45 rpm, and a mass of 350 grams falls 6 cm from center what is the speed of the disc. There are also no external torques. I have no problem solving the angular momentum of the disc before the mass falls...
