Best Answer

At no point during a skydive does the jumper feel weightless, unless they are jumping from a fixed object like a hot air balloon or a helicopter, where a feeling of weightlessness can happen for the first second or two. This is because air resistance provides a force to balance gravity throughout the entire skydive.

Why can you be weightless?

You can be weightless when experiencing free fall, such as in an elevator dropping or skydiving, because you are in a state of apparent weightlessness due to the force of gravity acting equally on you and the objects around you, causing you to float. This sensation occurs when the acceleration from gravity counteracts the force of gravity pulling you downwards, creating a feeling of weightlessness.
