A student standing on a scale in an elevator at rest sees that it reads $721$ N $.$

As the elevator rises, the scale reads $825$ N $.$

Find the acceleration of the elevator.

$a=$ unit $$

direction

$$

Hint: Draw a force diagram. Remember that the Net force $=$ mass $x$ acceleration. Be sure to correctly identify the forces that make up the net force. Direction is important. In order to accelerate, what must be true about the size of the normal force compared to the size of the force of gravity?

A flying squirrel is gliding $($no wing flaps$)$ from a tree to the ground at constant velocity. It is moving straight down. Consider air resistance. $.$
