A person is standing in an elevator, which is accelerating upwards. What can you say about the relationship between the force due to gravity mg and the normal force N (both on the person)?
a) N > mg
b) N = mg
c) N < mg (but not zero)
d) N = 0
I picked d because the m in mg would be elevator + person so the force would be waaaaay higher than in N.
