    You are standing in an elevator with a 20.0 kg child on your shoulders. The elevator is traveling upward at a velocity of 2.00 m/s and an acceleration of -1.00 m/s2 . Your mass is 60.0 kg; the elevator mass is 1200.0 kg. 1) What is the tension in the cable that supports the elevator? For this question, I found that the tension was smaller than the downward force. How can this be possible with the elevator having an upward...

    An elevator is pulled upward so it moves with increasing upward speed?the force exerted by the cable on the elevator is constant and greater than the downward gravitational force exerted by Earth. When the elevator is moving up medium-fast, the force exerted by the cable on the elevator changes abruptly to just balance the downward gravitational force of Earth?the sum of the forces that the cable and Earth exert on the elevator is now zero.
