Answer:
Part A
The motion of an elevator in a building is mechanically controlled by electrical powered devices and therefore, the motion of an elevator between start and stop is uniform motion without acceleration and therefore, a person in a moving elevator will not experience a force, therefore a blindfolded person will believe that the elevator is not moving at all
Part B
Yes the person can tell when the elevator begins or stops
When the elevator begins moving, the velocity increases from zero at a rate and the blindfolded person will be able to sense the ground moving further lower under their feet making them feel lighter
Similarly, when the elevator slows down to stop, the initial downward velocity of the elevator is steadily reduced as the elevator decelerates. The blindfolded person will be able to sense the slowing down (braking) of the elevator experiencing an increased upward force from the floor of the elevator, with the feeling of slightly increased weight
