Question

If the same elevator accelerates downwards

Answer 1

The upward force exerted by the elevator floor on the passenger is 7.6 times mass of the passenger.

What is force?

A force in physics is an effect that has the power to alter an object's motion. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

Given in question elevator accelerates downwards with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s². There is acceleration due to gravity working downward which is 9.8 m/s².

So, net acceleration due to gravity is given as 9.8 - 1.2 = 7.6 m/s²

The upward force exerted by the elevator floor on the passenger is mass times acceleration, 7.6 times mass of passenger.
