Question

In an elevator with an acceleration of 0.2g up, the force exerted on the floor by the passenger of mass m, is 1.2mg True or False?

Answer 1

True.

You can picture and empty elevator moving at 0.2g easily.

When something or someone is inside and going up, you can view the situation as the elevator dragging that thing/person. If you drag something straight up with constant velocity, you are exerting a force mg; but if you are also accelerating, you (as an elevator) will be exerting a force m(g+a).

a in this turns out to be 0.2g.

Answer 2

''a in this turns out...'' there should be: ''a turns out...''
