This state is known as &#8220;weightlessness&#8221; or &#8220;microgravity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the reasoning:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Gravitational Acceleration:<\/strong> Gravity pulls everything toward the Earth at the same acceleration, which is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m\/s\u00b2) near the Earth&#8217;s surface (32 feet per second per second).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free Fall:<\/strong> When you&#8217;re in free fall, you and your surroundings are all accelerating toward the Earth at this same rate. There\u2019s no force pushing against you (such as the ground or a seat), so you don&#8217;t feel your weight. In other words, you and everything around you are &#8220;falling&#8221; together at the same rate, so there is no relative motion to make you feel the force of gravity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of Contact Force:<\/strong> On the ground, you feel the normal force from the surface you&#8217;re standing on, which counteracts the force of gravity, creating the sensation of weight. In free fall, since you&#8217;re not in contact with any surface, there&#8217;s no normal force, so you experience what is effectively &#8220;weightlessness.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In essence, you still experience gravity, but you don&#8217;t feel it as a force because everything is accelerating uniformly. This is why astronauts experience weightlessness while orbiting Earth\u2014they are in a state of continuous free fall, but because their velocity is also tangential to the Earth&#8217;s surface, they do not hit the ground.<\/p>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/tag\/what-is-gravity\/\">What is Gravity?<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/Daniel\/\">Daniel<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Also found on the album &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/tag\/reggae-way\/\">Reggae Way<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/rombox\/Narley_Marley\/\">Narley Marley<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/multimedia\/VIII\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free-Fall-0.mp3 Free-Fall-0.mp4 Free-Fall-I.mp3 Free-Fall-I.mp4 Free-Fall-Reggae-I.mp3 Free-Fall-Reggae-I.mp4 Free-Fall-Reggae-II.mp3 Free-Fall-Reggae-II.mp4 Free-Fall-Unplugged-Underground-XI.mp3 Free-Fall-Unplugged-Underground-XI.mp4 Free-Fall-Unplugged.mp3 Free-Fall-Unplugged.mp4 Free-Fall-intro.mp3 [Intro] [Instrumental, Guitar Solo] Weightlessness (Less ness) [Verse 1] Accelerating uniformly (All&#8230; not just part of me) Feels as if there&#8217;s no gravity (Acting upon me) [Bridge] Weightlessness (Less ness) More or less (Weightlessness) [Chorus] Can I change trajectory (So that it [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,9,14,3955,17,1],"tags":[546,563,4068,4067],"class_list":["post-39592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-daniel","category-lyrics","category-megaepix-enormous","category-narley-marley-reggae","category-uncategorized","tag-mp4","tag-music-videos","tag-reggae-way","tag-what-is-gravity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39592"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39607,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39592\/revisions\/39607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
