Why do you feel a jerk in an elevator when it starts and also when it stops its motion?
In physics, this jerk is called "acceleration". As a simplified explanation, it means that the velocity changes.
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.
Do objects in Earth's orbit appear to be weightless because they are in free fall?
Yes, exactly. A useful way to think of an object in orbit is that it is falling towards Earth much like anything else but, because of its velocity and distance from earth, it keeps missing the ground. This seems slightly contradictory -- a weightless object under the pull of gravity -- but it isn't, really. Suppose you're in an elevator that's had its cables cut. (Heaven, forefend!). Gravity accelerates you and the elevator Earthward at exactly the same rate, so you feel like you're floating relative to the elevator, but you and the elevator are just falling at the same rate.
What makes you feel weightless in an elevator?
The earth's gravity causes objects on earth (you) to accelerate toward earth's center at approximately 9.8 m/s2, when an elevator accelerates toward the earth's center (down) some of the force that you feel from gravity (weight) is negated. This results in a feeling of weightlessness.
Why do you feel light coming down a hill on a roller coaster?
The same thing happens if you are coming down in an elevator, or if you fall from any height. If you are standing still on the ground, you are subjected to gravity from the Earth which is effectively an acceleration of 1g or about 9.81 metres per second squared and you will feel your normal weight. If you fall from a height you will accelerate towards the ground at about 9.81 metres per second squared and you will feel "light" or indeed "weightless". On the downward hill of a rollercoaster, the rate of descent is enough to make you feel lighter than usual and similarly, on the upward hill of a rollercoaster the rate of ascent might be enough to make you feel heavier than usual. The design of the rollercoaster determines just how much lighter you will feel on the downward sections. You can try a neat little experiment if you take a set of ordinary bathroom scales with you into an elevator. You should observe that you "weigh more" when the elevator accelerates upwards and that you "weigh less" when the elevator accelerates downwards.

because of the gravity

What is the elevator property?
The "elevator property" is thepsychological urge to help others that you are forced into close contact to. In other words, when you walk into an elevator full of people, you feel connected to them. If that elevator crashed, you would feel inclined to help the others out before yourself. This principle works everywhere, not just in elevators.

Does constipation make you feel sick?
Constipation doesn't exactly make you feel sick. Constipation is just when your stomach doesn't agree with what you had and starts working up something that makes you feel constipated. So, constipation doesn't make you feel sick. IT just depends on how constipated you are.
