Lets say I am in an elevator and I start siphoning from 2 containers. And then the elevator goes into free fall after it was already siphoning. I originally thought that it would stop siphoning instantly as it went into free fall. Now I think it will stop a little later. As the siphon is running gravity is doing the work, when it goes into free fall it is like gravity is turned off. So the force is cut but the water has momentum, so will the water flow until the friction causes the water to stop. I am thinking about this correctly?
