How it's used
Primarily used in scientific or physics contexts, though it is frequently borrowed to describe the sudden, sinking sensation in one's stomach during a roller coaster drop or a fast elevator descent. It functions as a noun describing the physical state rather than a verb describing the act of losing weight.
Examples
In space, people will feel weightlessness.
When riding a roller coaster, have you ever experienced weightlessness?
