Question

a downward moving elevator is speeding up.
what is the direction of the elevators acceleration?
direction = -- (tap direction to change.)
check answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall acceleration - velocity relation

Acceleration is in the same direction as the change in velocity.

Step2: Analyze elevator's velocity change

The elevator is moving downward and speeding up. So, the velocity (which is downward) is increasing. Thus, acceleration is in the direction of velocity (downward).

Answer:

Downward
