When going up in an elevator your weight reported by a scale increases?

Not really. It is not the fact of GOING UP that makes your apparent weight increase, but the fact that it is ACCELERATING UPWARD. For example, while the elevator goes up at a constant speed, your apparent weight will be the same as if it weren't moving.

What is the weight in elevator with spring scale when it go up?
If the elevator is moving uniformly, the spring scale should record the same weight when it's going up as it does when it's standing still.If the elevator is accelerating (speeding up or slowing down), the spring scale will record a greater or lesser weight respectively.
What does breaking weight mean?
in wrestling it means going over your weight for your class
What is the energy change that take place when going up in a lift?
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.
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.
What is defined as weight?
Weight is a force that is measured in newtons (N). It is the force of the gravitational pull on you from the planet (or even moon) you are on. This is why your weight changes when going to different planets or to the moon.

Is going up the stairs healthier than going up in an elevator?
Yes
Is a elevator safe going at 22miles per hour?
no it is not
It takes an elevator 75 seconds to go 500 feet How fast is the elevator going?
About 4.5 miles per hour.
Where is the elevator switch on super power island?
The elevator is in the bank. Before going to the vault to confront Copycat, stop and call the elevator down. This will save time when you need to get to the second floor.
Where is the elevator on super power island?
The elevator is on the right side inside the bank. Before going to the vault to confront Copycat, stop and call the elevator down. This will save time when you need to get to the second floor.
Can teachers be reported for going in a pupils bag?
no.
How the velocity of an escalator that is going up different from the velocity of one that is going down at the same speed?
Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. Two objects moving at the same speed but in opposite directions will have opposite velocities. If the velocity of the elevator going up is v, the velocity of the elevator going down will be -v.
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.
Why does it feel like you keep going when an elevator stops?
What you are feeling when an elevator stops is called deceleration. The elevator doesn't stop right away. If it did, your knees would buckle and you would fall down from the impact, so an elevator slows down like a car does just before it stops. What makes the sensation feel weird is there is no visual indication of this happening, so you may think it has stopped, but it is really just slowing down. When you get on an elevator and the doors close (hopefully), it has zero velocity. When it starts going up, it must accelerate momentarily. During this acceleration period, before the elevator reaches its constant traveling speed, your apparent weight increases. You can feel this force in your legs and feet. If the elevator suddenly stopped, you would keep going.You would continue going in an upward direction (because of your inertia), mainly because you are not buckled in or otherwise attached to the elevator. You would lose contact with the floor. During that unfortunate scenario, you would be momentarily weightless. But with nothing to propel you upward anymore, you would slow down because of the acceleration of gravity. On normally operating elevators, ones designed not to make people sick or terrify them, the deceleration is slight, so you don't lose contact with the floor. You may feel momentarily lighter (in fact, if you were standing on a bathroom scale, it would read lower during the deceleration as you approach your floor), but you would not feel weightless.
How can i overcome my Fear of going in an elevator?
so first look at a picture of an elevator alot for like three days.then go and stand by an elevator everyday for like an hour for a week then get one of those really big boxes and make the inside look like an elevator and stand in it everyday for a couple of minutes for two weeks then go and get in an elevator and pretend its your box. :)
Do things float in an elevator that is going down?
No they don't. The force of gravity is too great.
