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

593 views

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.

If the elevator were falling for long enough to reach terminal velocity would the water not just stay in the bottle or at most trickle out? That would make sense to me anyway.
