the force you exert on the scale

Chuck Stone releases a ball near the top of a track and measures the ball's speed as it rolls horizontally off the end of the table. Students make measurements to predict where a can must be placed to catch the ball. How will the ball's speed affect the time it takes to reach the can once the ball leaves the end of the table? (Does a faster ball take a longer time to hit the floor?)

Since the ball leaves the table horizontally, its speed will not affect the time it takes to reach the floor.

Suppose you are in an elevator. As the elevator starts upward, its speed will increase. During this time when the elevator is moving upward with increasing speed, your weight will be
