The force f of the elevator on the man keeps reducing as the elevator keeps going up while the gravitational force mg keeps increasing moving upwards.

<h3>What is an elevator?</h3>

An elevator is an electrical device that lifts people up and down a tall building or structure.

for the elevator to go up, f > mg.

for the elevator to come down mg > f.

Analysis

since the force on the man is f = ma

where a is the acceleration of the elevator, then it means when a increases,  f will increase and when it decreases, f would decrease. slowing down means a, is decreasing going up and this reduces the force as the elevator keeps going up.

on the other hand, gravity acts faster on bodies that are slower in motion so since g, increases going up, mg would also increase.
