That's an excellent question.
As a student of Physics, you know that in order for your body to be not accelerating,
the forces on you have to add up to zero. You know that the force of gravity is pulling
you down, and you want to know what other force there is that's canceling out gravity,
so that they really do add up to zero.
The answer is:
It's the force of the floor pushing up on the bottom of your feet, with a force that's
exactly equal to your weight.
You can measure that force like this: Put a tiny mirror on the floor. Then take the
bathroom scale, turn it over, and set it down on the floor upside down, so that
you can read the numbers in the tiny mirror on the floor. Carefully stand up on
the bottom surface of the scale. Now the scale is measuring the floor's upward
force on the bottom of your feet. What does it read ? See ? What did I tell you.
Anther perfectly good way to think about this:
The forces of gravity always work in pairs. Two masses always attract each other
with equal forces. The force that attracts you toward the center of the Earth is
what you call "your weight on Earth".
Nobody every talks about the other one ... the force that attracts the Earth
toward the center of you. The two forces are equal. It's perfectly correct to
call the other one "the Earth's weight on you", and you just measured it with
the upside-down bathroom scale.
weight
yes, because there is a potential that he'll move on that hill and his energy is stored while standing.
Speed is always the speed relative to something else.If you see something standing still, that just means that it's movingwith exactly the same speed and direction that you are. The object that'sstanding still could be the book in your lap in a seat on a passenger jetflying at 500 miles per hour, relative to the ground, to visit your grandmother.And don't forget that the airplane, you, and the book, are all spinning alongwith the Earth, while the Earth and all of those things revolve around the sun.There's no such thing as really standing still.

yes, because there is a potential that he'll move on that hill and his energy is stored while standing.

Yes. But still cool.

Yes, a regular jump can be performed while running, or standing still, and can propel you in any direction. A vertical jump is performed standing still, and propels you only straight up.
How fast a person is moving, while standing still, on the surface of the Earth.

There is a small opening under the base of the mirror. Stick the end of a coat hanger in there while wiggling the base pushing upwards towards the roof. It should loosen up and come off.
Horses defecate while doing whatever they were doing when the 'urge' hit them. If they were standing still, then yes, they stand still. If they were walking, then they walk when they defecate. If horses are alarmed, they often defecate while running away.
because if you stand still for very long you will get tired in standing but while your walking you will not get bored because you are doing something.
