Free fall means the upward acceleration of air resistance cancels out the downward acceleration of gravity, leaving only your mass. If you're confused about the difference between mass and weight:
Weight = (mass) * (gravity (9.8 m/s^2))
Mass = weight/gravity
when your going up you will most likely weigh more. when you are going down you will most likely weigh less. a good example (for the going down) is skydiving while in the plane you accelerate to a certain speed and height. then you jump outside of the plane and once you jump from the plane and are in open air with nothing attaching you to the plane you are in free fall you will feel weightlessness. so on a scale that is moving the same speed as you while falling will most likely say you weigh nothing unless something is above you say the ceiling or someone else (or a huge thing everything knows as gravity) doesn't push you so as long as you don't push down on the scale while standing on top of it while the elevator is falling which i say don't do because you have to crouch onto the floor in order to survive. you will not weigh anything.
Solar Noon is when the sun is highest in the sky, or closest to zenith, so there would be no direction of shadow, it would be under your feet. To test this yourself on Nov. 22 the solar noon in NYC will be at 11:42:15, go find out for yourself.
It would fall downwards.
Pluto's volume is about 1/115th of Earth, but its mass is only 1/455th Earth's. The gravity there is one-fifteenth of Earth's so a person's weight on Pluto would be less than 7% of their weight on Earth. Example : man weighs 150 pounds on Earth, effectively 10 pounds on Pluto (push-ups not a problem) Example : rabbit weighs 1.5 kg on Earth, only 100 grams on Pluto (even in spacesuit, hops over houses)
It would start to fall as rain or snow depending on the exact temperature however if it was colder near the ground it would turn into snow or ice.
If you had a 50kg weight on Earth, it would weigh ~zero on the space station. It would still have a mass of 50kg--meaning it would difficult to move, and hurt very bad if it wumped you on the head, but placed on a scale, it would show 0. Likewise, if you had that 50kg weight and a scale on an elevator here on Earth, the scale would read 50kg. Say at the top of a 100 floor building, the elevator's cable and safety devices broke and the elevator, you, the 50kg weight and the scale were all in free fall. For a very short time, the 50kg weight would weigh zero. You would weigh zero. The scale would weigh zero. Until the elevator hit the ground.
If an elevator is falling and you jump inside, you will still be moving at the same speed as the elevator. Jumping will not change the outcome of the fall. It is safer to brace yourself and try to protect your head and body during the fall.
If the elevator is in free fall, you and the scale would be accelerating downward at the same rate. In this case, the scale would read zero, because you and the scale are essentially falling together with the same acceleration due to gravity.
Anyone, boy or coin, inside the lift (elevator USA) would, should the lift malfunction and rapidly fall, fall at the same rate as the descending lift. Hopefully, the automatic braking system on lifts would bring the lift to a halt before it hits the ground!
It breaks, and you fall and die
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.
Elijah Otis invented elevator safety. Back then the elevators would brake down and fall to the ground, which caused the people to die. Otis invented a back up so if the elevator broke down you were safe.
An elevator pit typically contains the elevator buffer, which absorbs energy in case of a sudden stop or free fall, the counterweights, and the guide rails that ensure the elevator cab moves smoothly. Additionally, it may also house the hydraulic equipment or motor that powers the elevator.
You would probably fall over or hurt yourself.
Not really. You can make yourself find someone attractive but sometimes things happen, and you get attracted to people you would have told yourself you would never go for. Things happen and you can't choose who you fall in love with. Answer No. You can't.
He built it because if there weren't a brake to stop it then we would fall all the way down and not get back up and that's why he built the elevator brake so we can go up and down and also stop
I would assume he invented the automatic door for elevators to eliminate the safety issues caused by accidentally forgetting to manually close the doors. If an elevator worker forgot to fully close the doors prior to automatic doors, the elevator shaft would be exposed and people woud fall down the shaft thinking they were stepping into the elevator.
