Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the elevator is traveling upward at a constant speed, the gravitational force acting on you remains the same. This means that your weight will also remain the same. The sensation of weightlessness only occurs when the elevator is accelerating upward or downward, such as during takeoff and landing of an airplane or during freefall.
