ya sorry, I get confused because I was not very clear in concept with weight and normal force.
Are they vector measure?Now I don't think so, right?
I get troubled in
the [MATH]mg[/MATH]
because I always thought it was the weight and should act towards the earth.
However, in the equation, it's the normal force, so act towards the sky and the [MATH]ma[/MATH] act towards the core, so the equation is correct in concept.
However, one thing I am not very sure is the normal force.
Why can scientist think a force which is present that in opposite direction as the [MATH]W[/MATH]?It seems it doesn't act like reaction force, but it does. Why?
After I thought again, the highlighed words are wrong.
The ma is the force that lift by the acceleration.
That means when the lift fall with a=g,
the normal force for him is the normal force for his actual weight
minus the force by the acceleration.
I think I am currently trap in the reference frames. I need to learn it shortly first
When we pull a thing up, its normal force decreases.
When we push a things down, its normal force increases.
But, why it is reversed for the man in the lift?
When the lift falls, the lift is like being pushing down.
But, why its normal forces decreases?
Why do the rope pull the lift make the lift heavier but make the man inside lighter?
