Inside a freely falling runaway elevator, your apparent weight is zero.

The apparent weight of a body under a free fall can be determine from Newton's second law of motion.

F = ma

The reading on the scale of the elevator moving downwards or the apparent weight is given as;

R = W - ma

R = mg - ma

R = m(g - a)

During a free fall, the body under motion is subjected to only gravity. That is the acceleration of the object is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

a = g

R = m(g - g)

R = m(0)

R = 0

Thus, Inside a freely falling runaway elevator, your apparent weight is zero.

Verified answer

The answer is apparent weight is zero.

You are still accelerating downwards at 9.8m/s^2 (if you are on Earth).

You still are being affected by the Earth's gravity.

Not all because of the previous two statements.

Not none because apparent weight is zero as you are falling.
