You misread. Your phone is accelerating upwards at 9.8m/s^2. That is also what it displays. If you have an accelerometer that displays a history (I recommend the app phyphox), you will also see that acceleration while your phone is falling.
- wrycoder 5y agoThe phone will measure zero acceleration while it's falling.
- zackees 5y agoIf we replace gravity with magnetism can we make the same conclusion? How about the forces experience from title forces. The difference in gravitational pull on the moon (tidal forces) caused the moon to be locked in orbit with the earth. If gravity isn’t a force, what stopped the moon from rotating faster than its orbit?

- DarmokJalad1701 5y agoA better analogy is something that is in a stable orbit.
- chronial 5y agoApparently I forgot to type the "go away" that was supposed to go between the "acceleration" and "while" in that sentence ^^.
