28) Your apparent weight will increase. Since your apparent weight is equal in magnitude to the reaction force N which
you experience:
ΣFy = ma (upward acceleration is positive) ⇒ N - mg = ma ⇒ N = m(g + a)
Thus N is larger when accelerating upward.
29) It is possible with three (or more) vectors. Three is the minimum number for which the condition may be satisfied.
30) As long as the vector sum of all of the individual forces is equal to zero, there is no net force on the toy, so it does not
move.
