What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness??

1 answer:

3 0

When you are in free fall, the force of gravity is stronger than your velocity perpendicular to where you're falling, and you move at a constant speed downwards.

Under feelings of weightlessness, you are still being pulled by gravity, but your perpendicular velocity and distance from the source can cancel each other out.

What happens when light strikes a translucent object?

sammy [17]
