Why do you feel a jerk when an elevator starts and also when it stops?
Because of something called inertia, and poor mechanics. Stuff that isn't moving likes to stay that way, and stuff that is moving likes to stay that way too. So when you force it to change, like when an elevator starts and stops, it's hard to make that completely smooth.

You weigh yourself when you are in a motionless elevator You weigh 100 lbs The elevator starts to move and you weigh 90lbs What is the acceleration of the elevator?
The elevator is accelerating downwards at g / 10 or ~3.2 ft/sec/sec (.98 m/sec/sec) note. the question shows that the weighing took place on a bathroom scale or a spring balance. If you used a beam balance or a steelyard you would always measure 100lbs.
Why do you feel a jerk in an elevator when it starts and also when it stops its motion?

What is the effect of gravity on a person in elevator?
The effect of gravity on a person in an elevator is exactly the same as it is anywhereelse. The person and the Earth are attracted toward each other by equal forces whosestrength depends on the product of their masses and the distance between their centers.The person feels heavier when he starts a trip going up or finishes one going down, andhe feels lighter when he starts a trip going down or finishes one going up. But that's theeffect of the elevator, not the effect of gravity.
