Draw a free body diagram for a 2kg sugar packet. Hint: (use formula for weight)
F-normal= 39.2N
Fg=-19.6N
You place a 4.0kg watermelon on a spring scale that measures in newtons. What is the scale’s reading?
+39.2N
You place a 22.50-kg television on a spring scale. If the scale reads 235.2N. What is the gravitational field?
10.45m/s2
A 0.50-kg guinea pig is lifted up from the ground. What is the smallest force needed to lift it?
4.9N
Find F-scale if: Fnet is 10N, Fg is 50N
60N
For a lift going up, how will the Fnet be?
+Fnet= Fscale - Fg
For a lift going down, how will the Fnet be?
-Fnet= Fscale - Fg
If mass is 2 kg, and acceleration is positive 2 m/s. Find Fg, Fnet, Fscale
Fscale= 23.6N
Fnet= +4N
Fg= 19.6N
