Zach, whose mass is 85 kg, is in an elevator descending at 8 m/s. The elevator takes 3.2 s to brake to a stop at the first floor.What is Zach's weight while the elevator is braking?

Sagot :

Explanation:

acceleration = 8/3.2 = 2.5m/s² ( acceleration due to gravity = g ).

mass = 85 kg.

weight = mg = 85×2.5 = 212.5N .

hope this helps you.
