Experiment: *a water bottle with a hole . Water is falling from the hole when the bottle is in rest . When the bottle is released and falls , water stops falling as gravity is not doing effect on it . * **But the bottle is falling because of effect of gravity how we can justify water is not falling because gravity has no effect on it **

$\begingroup$ Both water and the bottle fall with the same acceleration and so speed, so the water does not leave the bottle. $\endgroup$– trulaCommented Aug 6, 2023 at 13:44

$\begingroup$ @trula That comment seems like it should be an answer. $\endgroup$– StephenG - Help UkraineCommented Aug 6, 2023 at 13:47

$\begingroup$ That means when Earth is accelerating due to Sun's gravity people/objects moving with earth have no effect of sun's gravity? $\endgroup$– Rinku DasCommented Aug 12, 2023 at 12:12

Both water and the bottle fall with the same acceleration and so speed, so the water does not leave the bottle. To say there is no gravity exerted: put a scale under the bottle when it is standing you can read the weight, when its falling the scale says zero.
