Answer:

B. less than mg

Explanation:

A person's weight changes as he rides an elevator at a constant velocity. If the elevator is moving downward,<u> the person's weight becomes lesser.</u> He is considered to be in "free fall" due to <em>gravity.</em> However, the opposite happens when the elevator goes upward. The person will feel heavier because he is going against gravity. This means his weight is more than his actual weight. If the person will stand on an elevator that doesn't move, his weight will just be the same. All of these is due to <em>Newton's Second Law of Motion</em> where an object's acceleration relies on its <em>force</em> and<em> mass.</em>

what causes places near the equator to receive more direct sunlight than the poles? the poles are farther away from the sun than
Andru [333]
This is due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Although the Sun shines on Earth, because of how the Earth is tilted, the equator is more directly hit compared to places found on the poles. The poles are hit at an angle, therefore the sunlight they receive is lesser than the places at the equator.
