Which law would be modeled by the image on the left?
Illustration of a person sitting in an ejector seat. In the first image the upward push of the chair and downward pull of gravity are equal, and the person is at rest. In the second image the upward push of the chair is greater than the downward pull of gravity, and the person accelerates upward?
