Freefall can only be experienced when gravity is the only force acting on you. Weightlessness can be experienced on earth with air resistance and gravity like on a rollercoaster when you are just about to go down the hill.

Free fall means your falling because of gravity and weight and will eventually hit the ground without any protection. weightlessness means a place or time where there is no gravity and you're floating and not falling.

A 2 kilogram mass is lifted 4 meters above the ground what is the change it gravitational energy
lianna [129]

Answer:

78.4 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its location in the gravitational field.

The change in gravitational potential energy of an object is given by:

\Delta U=mg\Delta h

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

\Delta h is the change in height of the object

For the mass in  this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg is the mass

\Delta h = 4 m is the change in height

So, its change in gravitational energy is:

\Delta U=(2)(9.8)(4)=78.4 J
