We define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity
Thus, if you have positive velocity and positive acceleration, your <u>speed increases.</u>
If you have positive velocity and negative acceleration, your speed decreases.
Now you get the idea, we will see that the correct option is graph 1.
We know that the car moves towards the right (let's define this as "the car has positive velocity") and we also know that te car is slowing down constantly (thus the acceleration needs to be negative and constant).
By looking at the graphs, the only one with these properties is graph 1.

Answer: c. 1.3 m/s^2
Explanation:
When he is at rest, is weight can be calculated as:
W = g*m
where:
m = mass of the man
g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
We know that at rest his weight is W = 824N, then we have:
824N = m*9.8m/s^2
824N/(9.8m/s^2) = m = 84.1 kg
Now, when the elevators moves up with an acceleration a, the acceleration that the man inside fells down is g + a.
Then the new weight is calculated as:
W = m*(g + a)
and we know that in this case:
W = 932N
g = 9.8m/s^2
m = 84.1 kg
Then we can find the value of a if we solve:
932N = 84.1kg*(9.8m/s^2 + a)
932N/84.1kg = 11.1 m/s^2 = 9.8m/s^2 + a
11.1 m/s^2 - 9.8m/s^2 = a = 1.3 m/s^2
The correct option is C
