There is in fact, plenty of inertia within a free-falling elevator (and hope there is no elevator design in common usage quite that dangerous). Remember that inertia is a property of matter with mass, its resistance to change until a force acts upon it - the downward acceleration of gravity is actually increasing the inertia of all the free-falling objects within. However, one might briefly feel that there is no force because all objects within such an elevator are accelerating at the same rate, when in reality it is only a matter of perception and gravity is acting equally upon all mass, and no floor to push up on your feet to resist gravitational acceleration. The effect is similar to what an astronaut might feel in Earth orbit, where they are constantly accelerating towards Earth (but constantly missing it) and thus feels to be in constant free-fall.
What else can I help you with?
Does a 2003 Corvette have an inertia switch?
No, Gm does not use inertia switches.
What keeps the moon and artificial satellites in orbit around a planet?
Inertia. The moon is constantly "falling" towards Earth, but it's also moving sideways so fast that it constantly misses and therefore remains in orbit.
What force causes the earth to orbit the sun?
the force to move the world entire 9 planets including the earth is called gravity learn science please. _____________________________________________ NOTHING "forces" the Earth to move in its orbit; it is a falling rock. The Earth falls freely STRAIGHT through space at a little over 67,000 miles per hour, and the Sun's gravity pulls the Earth in toward the Sun. Stable Orbits like this are a careful balance of inertia, which keeps the Moon going straight, and gravity, which pulls the Moon straight in. Together, they keep the Earth freely falling in an ellipse around the Sun.
Who sang Falling From Grace in the movie Falling From Grace?
The soundtrack has Falling from Grace sang by Larry Rollins
What part of speech is falling in falling meteor?
An adjective.
Do helicopters have elavators?
No, they don't need them
Are dominoes falling inertia?
Yes, when dominoes are set in motion and fall, they are following the principle of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so once the dominoes start falling, they will continue to do so until acted upon by an external force.
What keeps somebody from falling out of an upside down roller coaster?
inertia
What roll does inertia play in the heliocentric theory?
Inertia keeps the planets moving around the Sun, rather than falling into the Sun.
How is inertia involved with the falling of dominoes?
Inertia is involved in the falling of dominoes because once the first domino is pushed, it transfers its momentum to the next domino, causing a chain reaction. The inertia of each domino keeps it moving until it comes into contact with the next domino, continuing the process.

If an object is in free fall what does it have?
Mass and inertia.
How do gravity and inertia keep a plant in orbit?
it helps it stay on the ground instead of falling or floating
