Re: That jerk again!



Suppose you are standing with your shoes glued to the floor of
an elevator. It is rising in free fall with a perfectly smooth
ratchet to hold it at the top of its free fall.

Will you not rerceive a sudden change in your apparent weight?

I believe this question is quite equivalent to the car stop.
