i need to prove that you feel weightlessness on apocalypse in drayton manor theme park and so there would be freefall but im not sure how to do this. i have figures for the itme of the freefall, the total height of the ride, the braking distance and the freefall height if that helps. thanks

time to freefall is 2.5 seconds, total height is 54 metres, braking distance is 25 metres and freefall height is 25m

if the ride falls quicker than the acceleration you would feel due to gravity then you should feel weightlessness (or more specifically, if you are hed by the ride then the downward acceleration of the ride would need to match that of gravity). look in to that as an answer

Its a Gravity Hill effect.
