The first: alright, first: you draw the person in the elevator, then draw a red arrow, pointing downwards, beginning from his center of mass. This arrow is representing the gravitational force, Fg.
You can always calculate this right away, if you know his mass, by multiplying his weight in kg by the gravitational constant

let's do it for this case:

the unit of your fg will be in Newton [N]
so, first step solved, Fg is 637.65N
Fg is a field force by the way, and at the same time, the elevator is pushing up on him with 637.65N, so you draw another arrow pointing upwards, ending at the tip of the downwards arrow.
now let's calculate the force of the elevator

so you draw another arrow which is pointing downwards on him, because the elevator is accelating him upwards, making him heavier
the elevator force in this case is a contact force, because it only comes to existence while the two are touching, while Fg is the same everywhere
A parallel circuit - there are multiple branches at which current is able to to be pushed around the circuit.
a) x = 
at t = 5s

b) v = 
= 
at t = 5 s
v = 
c) a = 
= 28 - 12t
at t = 5 s
a = 28 -12*5= 28-60= -32 m/
d) At maximum positive coordinate velocity = 0
So, 

At t = 4.66 s

e) At t = 4.66 s
f) At maximum positive velocity a = 0


At t = 2.33 s
V = 
g) t = 2.33 s
h) When particle is not moving v = 0
So 

At t = 4.66 s
a = 
i) At t = 0s, X =0m
t = 5s, X = 100m
So, Displacement = 100m
Velocity = 
Answer: layoff
Explanation:
From the information in the question, we can see that Jane is trying to reduce the size of the workforce here through layoff.
Since Joan explains that the termination is temporary, then it's a layoff. If it were to be firing, the termination won't be temporary but permanent as they can't be recalled by the company. But since the employees are discharged temporarily, it's a layoff.
