A woman of mass 60kg is standing in a lift at a shopping centre a ) the lift is at rest

1. state the value of the weight of
the woman

2. state the value of the force exerted on the woman by the floor of the lift

b ) the lift accelerates upwards at 2.5 m / s². calculate the force exerted on the woman by the floor when the lift is accelerating

c ) the lift reaches a steady upward speed. state the value of the force exerted on the woman by the floor at this steady speed

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
