    When you are in free fall, the force of gravity is stronger than your velocity perpendicular to where you're falling, and you move at a constant speed downwards.

    Under feelings of weightlessness, you are still being pulled by gravity, but your perpendicular velocity and distance from the source can cancel each other out.
