Eli5: What would happen if I pour water out of a bottle in a falling Elevator?

Question

What would happen? Would the water hit the roof of the elevator since the elevator is falling rapidly?

I thought about it when I put Eye Drops in an elevator.

Answer 1

If you hit the ceiling then the water will hit the ceiling. If the elevator is free falling then you might feel weightless so you and the water wouldn’t move. In normal operation the water goes to the floor like you.
