Remember, the force of gravity on you is pretty much constant and unchanging. However, the degree to which you 'feel' it depends on whether or not something is pushing back up at you, to balance/resist your weight. If we assume that the elevator is going at a constant speed, then we know that the net force on your body must be zero, since you are not accelerating. Therefore the elevator is still supplying an upward force to resist your weight, and you will still feel heavy. You will only feel lighter if the lift is allowed to accelerate downwards. We can justify all this with equations. If R is the force pushing up against your feet (which makes you feel heavy) then acceleration (a) = (mg - R) / m Rearranging: R = mg - ma Dividing through by mg gives an expression for the proportion of ordinary weight felt: R/mg = 1 - a/g
What else can I help you with?
The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as?
The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as subduction. The opposite of this process is called obduction.
What happens to an elevator during an earthquake?
Well, how i would think of it is that it would wobble around so much that the weight of the elevator would snap the rope that transports it up and down, and the elevator would fall to the bottom.
Is wind erosion that picks up small particles and leaves heavier particles behind?
Yes, wind erosion can pick up small particles (such as sand) and leave behind heavier particles (such as rocks or pebbles) in a process known as deflation. This selective removal of finer particles can lead to the formation of features like sand dunes.
Where did most of the elements heavier than Hydrogen and Helium form in the Universe?
Elements heavier than hydrogen and helium primarily formed in the cores of stars through nuclear fusion processes. Elements up to iron are formed in the cores of stars, while elements heavier than iron are typically produced in supernova explosions or neutron star mergers. These heavy elements are dispersed into space during these catastrophic events, enriching the interstellar medium from which new stars and planets can form.
Why is the main reason that oceanic crust is heavier than continental crust?
Oceanic crust is mafic in composition and continental crust is felsic in composition. Mafic minerals generally have a higher density than felsic minerals and therefore, the oceanic crust is heavier.
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.
What is elevator in aircraft?
the elevator is what makes the the aircraft go up or down.
How do you get to go up the elevator in Mysim?

How do you go at the top of radio tower?

How Do we know when we are moving up and down in an elevator?
We can feel the sensation of going up or down in an elevator due to changes in our body's inertia and the acceleration or deceleration of the elevator. Additionally, visual cues such as the changing floor numbers displayed in the elevator can also indicate the direction of movement.
Iam at the elevator waiting for it a girl is walking up to the elevator she's pretty far away from the elevator the elevator comes i go in then she runs in and while we are in she stares at me?
i will say thank you

Why does your stomach feel as if it were falling when an elevator starts to go up?
When the elevator goes up, you experience a feeling of weightlessness due to the sudden change in velocity. This causes your stomach to feel like it's dropping or rising quickly. Your body's proprioceptive system, which helps sense motion and acceleration, is temporarily confused by the sudden change, leading to the sensation of your stomach "dropping."
What are the two forces acting on you in an elevator?
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.
