No. Terminal velocity is one-g, the same as sitting in a chair. A skydiver at terminal velocity feels exactly as much force/acceleration from the wind as they would feel force from lying down on the ground.
- gricardo99 5y agoThat's right, the forces cancel each other out, so that's "zero-g". If you're accelerating, you're experience some "g" force, not "zero-g".
- sandworm101 5y agoExcept acceleration due to gravity. Freefall is acceleration without feeling any apparent force.
- chrischen 5y agoI’m sitting on the toilet right now, and the forces are canceling each other out so that I’m not sitting in the toilet. Is this 0g?
