Question
a person experiencing free fall feels weightless because they dont have any support force on them. but they are not really weightless. true false
Brief Explanations
When a person is in free - fall, the only force acting on them is gravity. There is no normal force (support force) from a surface. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity ($W = mg$). The feeling of weightlessness comes from the lack of a normal force counteracting gravity. But the gravitational force (weight) still acts on the person.
