a) when the
elevator is going up
b) when the elevator is moving
down.
c) when the elevator is falling freely.

Answer 1

Answer:

If you stand on a scale in an elevator accelerating upward, you feel heavier because the elevator's floor presses harder on your feet, and the scale will show a higher reading than when the elevator is at rest. On the other hand, when the elevator accelerates downward, you feel lighter.
