Question

A person who normally weighs 700 N is riding in a rather swift elevator that is moving at a constant speed of 9.8 m/s. If this person is standing on a bathroom scale inside the elevator, what would the scale read?

Answer 1

700N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Weight=700N,

Speed= 9.8m/s

At constant speed, acceleration = 0 (thus no change in mass)

The weight therefore remains 700N
