What happens to your weight if you are in an elevator traveling upward at a constant speed?
Your weight (the force you feel at the soles of your feet) in an elevator traveling at any constant speed in anydirection would be the same at any instant as it would be if you were in that elevator in the same place, stopped. For practical purposes, it would be the same as it would be when you're standing on the ground. Technically, weight changes with altitude, but for any existing building the difference between your weight at the lowest and highest points of the building will be so slight as to be undetectable. You'd probably lose more weight due to evaporation of moisture in perspiration and exhaled breath during the elevator ride than you would due to the slight reduction in gravity resulting from your moving a bit further from the surface of the Earth.
In order for your perceived weight to change, there has to be an acceleration. Constant speed/velocity is not acceleration. You would feel a change in weight as the elevator slowed down or sped up, but you would feel your "normal" weight once the elevator reaches constant speed/velocity.
What else can I help you with?
If I am in an elevator that is traveling upward at constant speed How does weight compare to your normal weight on the ground?
If the elevator's speed is constant (acceleration is zero), regardless of whether it's up or down,then your weight in it is the same as your normal weight on the ground.It should be easy to carry a bathroom scale onto an elevator with you some day and check it out.
What happens t the reading scale as the elevator begins to move upward?
As the elevator begins to move upward, the reading on the scale will increase due to the increase in apparent weight experienced by the person inside the elevator. This increase is a result of the combination of the person's actual weight and the upward acceleration of the elevator.
What happens to the reading on the scale as the elevator begin to move upward?
As the elevator moves upward, the reading on the scale will temporarily increase. This is because the scale measures the force exerted by the person standing on it, which includes their weight and an additional force due to the upward acceleration of the elevator.
What will a spring scale read for the weight of a 59-kg woman in an elevator that moves upward with constant speed of 4.6?
The spring scale will read the woman's actual weight, which is 59 kg. Since the elevator is moving upward at a constant speed, there is no net force acting on the woman, so the spring scale will measure her true weight.
What happens to the reading on the scale as the elevator begins to move upward to move downward?
As the elevator begins to move upward, the reading on the scale will momentarily increase. Conversely, as the elevator starts to move downward, the reading on the scale will momentarily decrease. This change in reading is due to the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the elevator, causing a shift in apparent weight.

As you accelerate upward in an elevator, which force exerted on you has the greatest magnitude?
The force of gravity has the greatest magnitude on you as you accelerate upward in an elevator.
If a boy doing toss in an elevator and elevator suddenly disconnects so what happens with the coin?
I assume you mean, the cables that sustain the elevator break.The coin will maintain its relative movement relative to the elevator. For example, if at the moment the elevator disconnects the coin is moving upward at 1 m/s (with respect to the elevator), it will continue going upward at the same speed (once again, with respect to the elevator), until it hits the ceiling. This is because both the elevator and the coin will accelerate downward at the same rate.
How your weight mass and the normal force exerted by the floor change when you are in an elevator that starts from rest and accelerates upward?
When an elevator accelerates upward from rest, your weight (the force due to gravity acting on you) remains constant, as it is determined by your mass and the acceleration due to gravity. However, the normal force exerted by the floor increases because it must counteract both your weight and provide additional force due to the upward acceleration of the elevator. Consequently, you would feel heavier during the upward acceleration, as the normal force exceeds your weight.
How does your weight mass and the normal force exerted by the floor change when you are in an elevator that starts from rest and accelerates upward?
When you are in an elevator that starts from rest and accelerates upward, your weight (mass times gravitational acceleration) remains constant because your mass does not change. However, the normal force exerted by the floor increases during the upward acceleration. This is because the elevator's acceleration adds to the gravitational force, resulting in a greater normal force acting on you, which can be felt as an increase in apparent weight.
What force is needed to accelerate an elevator with a mass of 1000 kg upward at a rate of 2 m per second squared?
Weight of the elevator = 1000kg x -9.8m/s2 = -9800N Upward force acting on the elevator = 1000kg x 2m/s2 = 2000N Net force = upward force - weight of elevator = 2000N - (-9800N) = 11800N
