A question I'm embarrased to ask - earth's spin
Jose wrote: "If it were..." (not "if it was...") 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?
