Gravity Review Question 37 Question 19 of 39 When you ride a fast elevator upward, you feel slightly heavier as the trip begins and slightly lighter as the trip ends. How is this phenomenon related to the equivalence principle? a. When the elevator begins to move, its hoisting mechanism exerts an upward force upon you, so you feel heavier. When the trip ends, the direction of the force is downward so you feel lighter. b. When the elevator begins to move up, you feel an increase in your apparent weight. You cannot tell the difference between increased apparent weight due to acceleration and increased weight due to increased gravity. Oc. The elevator moves with acceleration when it begins and stops moving, so it is not an inertial frame at that time and you can say where this acceleration is directed. Od. When the elevator begins to move, your speed and that of the elevator compartment increase and you feel an increase in your relativistic mass. When the elevator stops, the speed decreases and so the relativistic mass decreases.
