1. What is the apparent weight (or force on the scale from
the
person) of this 60 kg person in this elevator with the
following
locations and accelerations?
(a) On Earth accelerating up at 9.8 m/s
(b) On the Moon accelerating up at 9.8 m/s
(c) On Earth accelerating down at 9.8 m/s
(d) On the Moon accelerating down at 9.8 m/s
Also describe what is going on in parts (c) and (d).
