- TL;DR Summary
- In GR terms,
Riding Up-down elevator … during de-acceleration relative to ground and acceleration up…
G force exceeds 1
The same change in velocity relative to ground but at the top of a tower is where G<1
In GR you’re always forced by earth out of your geodesic except if the de-acceleration at the top or acceleration down from the top is made the same as if the elevator fell off the track and was loose
But now with spring/trampoline im reading that the experience at the bottom differs
When “bungee jumping” or trampoline is it correct that the G force would not behave the same on the upward bouncing up due to how the spring stores potential energy or absorbs energy at compression ? Or is your motion up and down when supported by a spring medhanism the same as would be in the elevator motor?
