Assertion : In the case of free fall of the lift, the man will feel weightlessness. Reason : In free fall, acceleration of lift is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

Assertion : For a free falling object, the next external force is just the weight of the object . Reason : In this case the downward acceleration of the object is equal to the acceleration due to gravity.

Assertion : An object may fall with a constant velocity. Reason : This happens when acceleration of the object is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

A man in a lift feels an apparent weight W when the lift is moving up with a uniform acceleration of 1/3rd of the acceleration due to gravity.
