Answer:

The elevator is accelerating downwards.

Explanation:

When an elevator accelerating downward it moves together with the person inside and the weight of the person does not change, but if the person is standing on a scale the contact force between the person and the scale is reduced.  The scale therefore has to push upward with less force on the person to support the person's weight. Therefore the Normal Force is smaller, so the reading on the scale becomes less than the true weight.

-Boston tea party-
lisov135 [29]

Answer: The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor. The event was the first major act of defiance to British rule over the colonists. It showed Great Britain that Americans wouldn’t take taxation and tyranny sitting down, and rallied American patriots across the 13 colonies to fight for independence.
