Weight of the elevator = 1000kg x -9.8m/s2 = -9800N Upward force acting on the elevator = 1000kg x 2m/s2 = 2000N Net force = upward force - weight of elevator = 2000N - (-9800N) = 11800N
Scales are intended to measure some downward force acting on the scale, which is the weight of the object placed on the scale to be weighed, but it is also true that the downward force is necessarily balanced by an equal and opposite upward force, otherwise the scale would be forced downward (which would be very awkward since it would break through the floor and create quite a mess).

0.98N, if the value of gravity is a constant at 9.8m s^-2.
Upwards is a compound word.
The upward force is the same in both directions.
Yes, the upward force that opposes the force of gravity is called the normal force. It acts perpendicular to the surface that an object is resting on, preventing it from falling through.
If the upward force acting on an object is greater than the downward force (its weight or force of gravity), the object will experience a net upward force causing it to accelerate in the upward direction. This could lead to the object moving upwards, overcoming the force of gravity pulling it downward.
No, gravity is a downward force.
The Buoyant Force
Float. Essentially, an upward force is larger than the downward force, therefore the upward force wins.
Lift is the upward force on an airplane that is generated by the wings as the airplane moves through the air. It is produced by the interaction between the wings and the air molecules.
The force that causes you to move upward when you jump into the air is the normal force exerted by the ground on your feet. This force opposes the force of gravity acting on your body, allowing you to overcome gravity and move upward.
Yes, force is required to throw a ball upward. The force applied by your arm gives the ball its initial velocity to overcome gravity and travel upward.
The upward force balances exactly you weight so the resultant force is zero and you stay on the ground, fortunately!

The upward force that water exerts on objects is called buoyancy force. It is equal to the weight of the water that is displaced by the object. This force helps objects float in water.
