A person is standing on a scale in an elevator accelerating downward. compare the reading on the scale to the person's true weight.A. Equal to their true weight B. Greater than their true weight C. Less than their true weight D. ZeroAnswer: C

Answer :

This is an application of Newton's second law to elevator forces. When you accelerate upward, you feel heavier, and when you accelerate downward, you feel lighter.

So, option C is the correct option

Newton's Second Law

The second law states that an object's acceleration is determined by two variables: the net force acting on the object and the object's mass. The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. The acceleration of an object increases as the force acting on it increases. The acceleration of an object decreases as the mass of the object increases.
