How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you? (ignore air resistance when answering this question).

@somy i finnaly got a question for uuuuuuuuuu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ignore air resistance when answering this question

OpenStudy (somy):

hmmmm F=ma i think because your acceleration is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D lol

OpenStudy (somy):

then only thing i can say is that weight excreted by the body equals to force of gravity thus they cancel out each other so u feel weightless

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The reason you feel weightless is because there is no force pushing against you, since you are not in contact with anything. Gravity is pulling equally on all the particles in your body. This creates a sensation where no forces are acting on you and you feel weightless. It would be the same sensation as if you were floating in space.
