Consider a person standing in an elevator that is moving at a constant velocity down. The upward normal force N exerted by the elevator floor on the person is Select one: a. smaller than the downward force of gravity on the person. b. identical to the downward force of gravity on the person. c. larger than the downward force of gravity on the person.

b. identical to the downward force of gravity on the person.

Explanation:

For an object in an elevator,

F = mg - ma       (g > a)

But since the velocity is uniform, a = 0.

Then,

F = mg - 0

F = mg

This is the actual weight of the object.

The object does not feel weightless, so that its actual weight can be measured during the downward motion of the elevator with uniform velocity.

Thus, the upward normal force, N, exerted by the elevator floor on the person is identical to the downward force of gravity on the person.

diagram is missing, but i will try to explain your doubt.

answer:

amplitude is the maximum displacement or distance moved on a point of a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.it is equal to half the length of vibration path.
