"What values
would a
bathroom scale
have on

Imagine a person weighs 600. N
Start
- Scale reading goes up
(greater than 600. N) Inertia
(Object rest tends to stay at rest)
Most of trip up:
(W = 600. N) Constant velocity
Net force = 0
Slow Down and Stop
- (Scale reading less than 600. N)
Object in motion tends to stay in motion
Is this elevator going up or down?
The elevator was going down.
