I'm just wondering, when I'm in an elevator going up/down when do I feel lighter?
As well as when you are at the top and the elevator is starting (down).Doogan1 said:when you are at the top and the elevator is stopping.
Gravity is a natural phenomenon by which all objects with mass are brought towards each other. It is a fundamental force that governs the motion of objects in the universe.
Gravity works by exerting a force on objects with mass. This force is proportional to the mass of the objects and their distance from each other. The larger the mass and the closer the objects are, the stronger the force of gravity between them.
Sir Isaac Newton is credited with discovering the concept of gravity in the late 17th century. He formulated the law of universal gravitation, which explains the force of gravity between two objects.
Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass is typically measured in kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons.
Gravity affects the motion of objects by pulling them towards each other. This causes objects to accelerate towards each other, resulting in motion. The strength of gravity determines the rate of acceleration and the path of an object's motion.
