Explanation:
♥ We feel weightless while free falling due to the absence of normal reaction force
♥ When you are push down on the surface but we experience weight when the reverse force acts and the surface pushws back up against the soles of our feet

❣️Heya here is the answer of yours ❣️
❣️
In a freely falling lift we would feel weightless until we hit the ground. ... If we are in a lift that accelerates upwards we feel heavier. This is because we not only feel the reaction of the floor of the lift due to gravitational attraction but there is also an added force - that needed to accelerate us upwards.
❣️
The reason you feel weightless is because there is no force pushing against you, since you are not in contact with anything. Gravity is pulling equally on all the particles in your body. This creates a sensation where no forces are acting on you and you feel weightless .
