Normally when i step into an elevator I.e a lifter. I at first felt comfortable but immediately the lifter began to move up, I felt weightless and lost balance and if I could recall I nearly fell the first day I entered a lifter. I had to hold on to the iron support inside it so as to be stable.
I am now relating my experience to the concept of forces acting on us inside a lifter. The concept was taught by my physics teacher back then in high school but, I guess I was nonchalant about and didn't really pay much attention to it then. But now I do.
What I am kindly asking is that, At that point in time I felt weightless and lost my balance during the motion of the elevator, was gravitational force g still acting on me?
Just curious to know the reason for that weightlessness and lost of balance. It happens to almost anyone who steps into an elevator for the first time.
