You sit in a elevator like cart which is goes all the way to the top of the ride. It goes forward a little...and then swoosh you're dropped down.
While falling you will be in free fall where there is a weightlessness feeling. This is due to the fact that the only force acting on you is gravity.
Free fall, in theory, describes any motion that is affected only by gravitational forces.
The speed at which an object is falling during free fall can be determined, when started at rest, by this equation:
The distance an object has traveled during free fall can be determined, when started at rest, by this equation:
g = 9.8 meters per second
squared or 32 feet per second squared.
delta t = the time travelled
