Answer:

Differences between freefall and weightlessness are as follows:

Freefall

  • When a body falls only under the influence of gravity, it is called free fall.
  • Freefall is not possible in absence of gravity.
  • A body falling in a vacuum is an example of free fall.

Weightlessness

  • Weightlessness is a condition at which the apparent weight of body becomes zero.
  • Weightlessness is possible in absence of gravity.
  • A man in a free falling lift is an example of weightlessness.

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment....
