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

604 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.

Once the elevator is moving, the water will pour like normal because gravity is going to affect it at the same rate regardless of how fast it is already moving.
