Sky divers appear to be floating during free fall due to the phenomenon of terminal velocity. As they fall, they accelerate until the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity, resulting in a constant speed of descent. The position in which they spread their arms and legs creates a large surface area, allowing them to glide smoothly through the air, giving the illusion of floating. Additionally, the vastness of the sky and the lack of reference points can enhance this sensation.

Can a simple pendulum oscillate during free fall motion?

No, a simple pendulum cannot oscillate during free fall motion because in free fall, the object is accelerating due to gravity and there is no restoring force acting on the object to cause oscillations.


Before a diver dives will he will take a deep breath or hyperventilate?

Free divers do but scuba divers do not need to. Scuba divers take their air with them and would have no need to hyperventilate.


What is weight and weightlessness?

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, typically measured in newtons or pounds. Weightlessness, on the other hand, occurs when an object is in free fall and experiences no gravitational force, resulting in a sensation of floating. This often happens in environments like space or during a state of free fall.


How is free fall related to acceleration?

during free fall of body the gravity of earth tries to attract the body as it applied equally to whole body ... so body do not experience any gravitational force and there is nothing present in the atmosphere to oppose the fall which results it have maximum acceleration during free fall....
