Let n be the force applied by the floor of the elevator on the man
And mg be the force applied by the man on the floor of the elevator
According to the question
mg
Therefore if the body is going up
n-mg=Ma(let M be the mass of the elevator)
LHS is a positive value
So a must be greater than zero ie the list is sppeding up
In case of downward motion
mg-n=Ma
But rhs is a negative value
Therefore a
So obeject will be moving down and slowing up
FINAL ANSWER:going up and speeding up or going down or slowing
HOPE IT HELPS!!
