How a simple pendulum inside a running elevator oscillates
Mingyuan Shi, Yu Shi
We propose to effectively realize a time-dependent gravitational acceleration by using a running elevator, so that a simple pendulum inside it effectively becomes one with a time-d…

Measuring the acceleration of an elevator by using the apparent weight of an object inside it
Mingyuan Shi, Yu Shi
An accelerating elevator changes the apparent weight of any object inside it from the original weight, as measured inside the elevator, because the acceleration causes an inertial…
