Respuesta :

lucic

Answer:

Less than your normal weight at rest

Explanation:

When the elevator is moving upwards with decreasing speed it means that the elevator is decelerating, thus the weight is lower than normal even though you are being pulled down with gravity acceleration.However, remember that your normal force is equal to your weight when the elevator is accelerating upwards,  you feel a little heavier than usual and a little litter if the elevator is accelerating downwards.
