Why do you feel a jerk in an elevator when it starts and also when it stops its motion?
When an elevator starts or stops, there is a change in acceleration which causes a shift in forces acting on your body. This sudden change can make you feel a jerk as your body adjusts to the new motion. It's similar to the sensation you feel when a car accelerates or decelerates quickly.
How Do we know when we are moving up and down in an elevator?
We can feel the sensation of going up or down in an elevator due to changes in our body's inertia and the acceleration or deceleration of the elevator. Additionally, visual cues such as the changing floor numbers displayed in the elevator can also indicate the direction of movement.
What makes you feel weightless in an elevator?
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.
Why does ascending in an elevator makes you feel heavier and descending in it makes you lighter?
When the elevator accelerates upwards, it pushes you against the floor, increasing the normal force acting on you, making you feel heavier. When the elevator descends and decelerates, there is less normal force acting on you, so you feel lighter.
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.

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.

What is the elevator property?
The "elevator property" is thepsychological urge to help others that you are forced into close contact to. In other words, when you walk into an elevator full of people, you feel connected to them. If that elevator crashed, you would feel inclined to help the others out before yourself. This principle works everywhere, not just in elevators.
Why does your stomach feel as if it were falling when an elevator starts to go up?
When the elevator goes up, you experience a feeling of weightlessness due to the sudden change in velocity. This causes your stomach to feel like it's dropping or rising quickly. Your body's proprioceptive system, which helps sense motion and acceleration, is temporarily confused by the sudden change, leading to the sensation of your stomach "dropping."
Why does your stomach feel as if it is falling when an elevator first?
because of the gravity
What stops people from migrating?
People will not migrate unless they feel that it is to their benefit economically. Also if they feel safe in their home country, they are less likely to migrate.
What happens to your mass when the elevator goes down?
Your mass remains the same when the elevator goes down. However, you may feel heavier due to the acceleration experienced as the elevator descends, which creates an upward force against gravity that can make you feel heavier.
If a cable snaps in an elevator and starts falling will the person inside float?
No, the person inside the elevator will not float. Objects in freefall experience weightlessness, but the person will still accelerate downward due to gravity. The experience will feel like weightlessness, but they are still subject to gravity's pull.
