10 POINTS, am i understanding this concept ... if i was falling down and a scale was under me, it would read 0

If I was falling down, and because of air resistance, the scale was moving less slowly than me, in total I would be applying a force on it.

However the scale would still read 0 because ... (i'm unsure about this part) .... because the force I am applying is acting down and it isn't a force acting up on me?

is this right?

In this case the scale would not read 0. if "In total [you] would be applying a force on it" that net force is what the scale would read.

If the force you are applying is acting down, there would be a force acting up on you as well. Remember Newton's Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So the force the scale is applying up on you has to be equal and opposite to the force you are applying down on it.

hope I explained this well enough.

Edit: I think the answers above misinterpreted your question. If you were both in a free-fall and there was no air resistance, they are correct, it would read 0. However your question states that there is air resistance and you do apply a net force on the scale. In this case I stand by my answer for the scale would in fact measure that net force. Once again Newtons Law :-)

Yes

It should be right.

yes, ur in a free fall .
