You should be able to answer the following after having viewed this tutorial:
1. How do acceleration and velocity directions compare for an elevator moving downward and a) speeding up and b) slowing down?
2. How do the direction of the net force and the acceleration compare?
3. During an elevator ride, which force (gravitational or normal) changes and which remains constant?
4. State the difference between true weight and apparent weight.
