You're kidding, right?
Don't confuse weightless with
Mass is the quantity that is conserved,
I wasn't. I didn't know masses changed. By saying "conserved" are you
saying some went away. Do you mean 'constant'?
Weight is the =force= due to gravity on that object. In a free falling
frame, an object is weighless, despite its mass.
If it doesn't weigh anything, why is it falling?
Does it expierience microgravity?
