if you toss a coin in the air you are subjecting that coin to microgravity. When an experiment is in a NASA Glenn Research Center drop tower, the experiment is subjected to microgravity for about 2 or 5 seconds.
When experiments and/or people are flown on a parabolic-trajectory aircraft, they experience a microgravity environment also.
When astronauts, cosmonauts, and experiments are on the Int'l Space Station, they also experience a microgravity environment.
All three effects are due to a condition of free fall, where the only significant force upon the person or experiment is gravity. The only real difference between the three conditions is the horizontal velocity and altitude.
