You Can Jump Like a Superhero — If You Are In an Accelerating Frame

Newton’s Laws in Accelerated Reference Frames If we want to figure out what’s going on here, we need to think about Newton’s 2nd Law and how it works in different reference frames. First, we have the 2nd law. This gives a relationship between the net force on an object and that object’s acceleration. It might seem too simple, but let’s use Newton’s 2nd law for a human standing in a stationary elevator. There’s really just two forces acting on the person: the downward gravitational force and the upward force from the floor. <a href="https://rjallain.medium.com/you-can-jump-like-a-superhero-if-you-are-in-an-accelerating-frame-71842049d996">Click Here</a>
