Reading Quiz: Weight and Apparent Weight   

Answers must be submitted by 8:00 am Wednesday, January 23rd.

Reading: P3 Chapter 6 section 2 up to “The Friction Force.” Study carefully the text, all diagrams and the two Example Problems.  Then answer the following questions:

Enter your last name, first initial:  

Click here to indicate that you have read the assigned material and are answering the reading questions on your own.

1. Define "weight." Is weight a force ? An acceleration ? Or something else ?  (7 words or fewer)

 

2. Is your weight the same in all situations ? If so, explain why. If not, explain why not and give examples of situations in which your weight would be different.  (one to two sentences)

 

3. Define "apparent weight."   (9 words or fewer)

4. In what situations is you apparent weight equal to your weight?  Give both a general answer and a specific example.

  General Answer (5 words):  

  Example:

5. In what situations is your apparent weight greater than your weight? Give both a general answer and a specific example.

  General Answer (4 words):  

  Example:

6. In what situations is your apparent weight less than your true weight?  Give both a general answer and a specific example.

 General Answer (4 words):  

 Example:

 

7. On p. 127, the text says that "A spring scale, therefore, measures weight, not mass."  The force diagram below represents the forces acting on a person standing on a bathroom scale. Select the force that the scale will read in all situations.  Is the book's statement (i.e., that the scale measures weight) true in all situations?  If so, explain why.  If not, explain why not and give an example that shows why the scale does not always measure weight.
