Best Answer

An elevator going up is increasing its potential energy. This energy and some kinetic

energy to speed up the elevator in its way up comes from an electric motor that pulls

the lifting cables that hold the elevator.

It is both. The energy is being transferred from kinetic to potential. As the roller coaster climbs higher, the energy required to overcome the effect of gravity slows the coaster down, turning all the kinetic energy into potential energy.

Where the energy going into a system equals that going out of it. An aircraft in steady, level flight is in equilibrium: Thrust=Drag, and Lift=Weight.


What is the equation for the change in weight in lift?

The increase in your weight when the lift starts going up or stops going down,as well as the decrease in your weight when the lift stops going up or startsgoing down, is[ (your mass) x (acceleration of the lift) ] .Your mass is numerically equal to (0.4536 x your weight in pounds), or elseequal to your "weight" in kilograms if you're unfortunate enough to havebeen taught to express it in that fashion.
