Elevators decelerate to stop at a floor. During the deceleration of an ascending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is her weight. During the deceleration of a descending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is her weight.

During the deceleration of an ascending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is greater than her weight.

During the deceleration of a descending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is less than her weight.

Explanation:

Normal force on her feet is the upward force due to gravitational force acting downwards.

During the deceleration of an ascending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is greater than her weight. This is because the elevator is moving upwards although the acceleration is reducing.

During the deceleration of a descending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is less than her weight. This is because the elevator is moving downwards although the acceleration is reducing.

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.
