  • Hey sorry I just saw this message. Actually there is no change in the gravitational force! It's the contact force that changes - if the contact force from the weighing scale pushing the man upwards exceeds the weight, the man (and the lift) are accelerating upwards; if the contact force from the weighing scale pushing the man upwards is less than the weight, the man (and the lift) are accelerating downwards. An example of a downward acceleration is an object slowing down as it is moving upwards.

  • For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? You go up, the resting body is affected by an extrinsic force and the weight changes due to gravitational changes.

  • yeah,in your bare feet standing on a weighing scale.

    most likely they'll just wait for the next one.

    lol

  • Newton's third law of reaction force applies =)
