How it's used
Primarily used in scientific or technical contexts, though it is frequently borrowed to describe the sensation of plummeting on amusement park rides like the drop tower. It functions as a noun representing the physical phenomenon rather than a verb describing the act of falling. When discussing the motion itself, it is common to pair it with verbs like 體驗 or 感受.
Examples
It is very thrilling to experience free fall when riding the drop tower.
