Hi Folks,
Why does a parachutist experience 0g (assuming falling in a vacuum, no drag) when falling towards the earth?
How can he not experience gravity when he is in a gravitational field which is pulling him towards the earth.
Im sure this is a classical question but I have not found a an answer online
Can anyone enlighten me?
Regards
