if a 100 n weight sits on a scale in a express elevator, what will happen to the weight shown on the scale when the elevator accelerates upward?

Answer:

The phrasing of the question is weird, but the mass should not change. The scale may read higher for a moment, but once the mass is brought up to the same velocity of the elevator, it should settle back to 100.
