Solution

Dear Student,
To experience the weightlessness, the acceleration of falling body should have acceleration equal to or more than that of acceleration due to gravity (g). In a freely falling body, acceleration is produced due to acceleration due to gravity hence the produced acceleration is equal to g.

Thus, freely falling body experiences weightlessness.
