1). The force of gravity attracts you downward.
2). The floor of the elevator car exerts an upward force on the bottom of your feet.
When #1 is greater than #2, you accelerate downward, and you feel lighter than
normal. That happens when the car is starting to go down, or finishing going up.
When #2 is greater than #1, you accelerate upward, and you feel heavier than
normal. That happens when the car is starting to go up, or finishing going down.
When #1 and #2 are equal, you don't accelerate at all, and your weight feels
normal. That happens when the car is standing still, or rising at a steady speed,
or dropping at a steady speed.

What are two forces that are always acting on an object?
The two forces are gravity and normal force.
Which two forces act on you when you stand on ice?
Normal force & Gravitational forces are acting on you.
What were the two main forces acting on Felix Baumgartner when he jumped out of the capsule?
the two main forces are air resistance and gravity
What happens to forces when they are acting in the same direction?
Two forces acting in the same direction add together. If those two forces are acting on an object, the object will accelerate faster than if there was only one force acting on the object.
Which two forces affect the motion of a projectile?
The main forces acting on a projectile are gravity, and air resistance.
What are the two forces acting on a person as they move up and down in an elevator and when are these two forces equal and when are they not equal?
When the elevator is still the force of gravity due to your weight pressing downwards on the floor is equalled exactly by the floor pushing you upwards with the same force. When the elevator rises you feel a little heavier, and the elevator is pushing upwards with the same increased force. When the elevator descends you feel that you lose a little weight, and the floor pushes up at you with the equally reduced force, so you descend.
How two forces are added if they are not concurrent but are acting in same direction?

What two forces act on you while you are in a moving elevator?
Gravity and tension
What two forces act on you while you are in moving elevator?
Gravity and tension
What are two forces that are always acting on an object?
The two forces are gravity and normal force.
What are the effects on an object when two or more opposing forces of unequal mangnitudes are simultaneously applied to the object?
If there are two or more unequal forces acting on an object then the object will be acting on the forces. ^_^
Name the two forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad?

Which two forces act on you when you stand on ice?
Normal force & Gravitational forces are acting on you.
Will two or more forces acting at different angles be placed in the same quadrant or in the adjacent quadrant and still be in equilibrium?
if the two forces are acting in an opposit direction they can not be in equilibrum.but if they acting in thesame direction from different angles they can be in equilibrum.
What is net effect of two forces acting on a body?
Depe
If the net force On an an object is zero what do you know about all of the forces acting on the object?
Net force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force
What were the two main forces acting on Felix Baumgartner when he jumped out of the capsule?
the two main forces are air resistance and gravity
