Out in deep space, far from any celestial object that exerts significant gravity, would an astronaut weigh anything? Would that astronaut have a mass? Explain.
It is stated in the question that the gravity there is 0; therefore, the weight there is g(m)= 0(m) = 0. Mass on the other hand is constant. The astronaut being there or any part of the galaxy will always have the same mass. -aldwyn tan
The mass of the astronaut remains the same regardless of the external gravity force;however, the weight of the astronaut is only measurable based on the gravity of the environment where the astronaut is situates. Gravity is the universal pulling force towards the center of a celestial body, by which weight is measured. When there is 0 gravity due to the fact that there is 0 celestial body nearby, weight is 0.
The astronaut's weight will change to 0 due to gravity, weight=g(m). The mass of the astronaut; however, will remain the same regardless of the area he/she is in.
The astronaut would not weigh in deep space, but he has mass. Weight is dependent on the mass of a object under a significant gravitational force while mass is a variable present in every object caused by the body's resistance to acceleration without the influence of any outside force. And therefore, since in deep space where there is no significant gravity, the astronaut will not weigh anything.
The astronaut's weight will be 0, because W=G(m). The mass of the astronaut will be the same, because the mass wherever you are in the galaxy is always equal
The astronaut would have zero weight but would still have a normal mass. Because weight is a measure of the force exerted on the astronaut by gravity. Far from earth or any large object, the astronaut would experience virtually no gravitational force and would have zero weight. But mass is a measure of inertia and does not depend at all on gravity.
There is gravity in space; however, effects of gravity are relative to the mass and body being influenced. Since a human being doesn't have enough mass in outer space to be greatly influenced by gravity, gravity will therefore become 0. With the formula given w= g(m), the answer will be 0. Mass on the other hand is different. A person will still have the same mass regardless of the location he/she is at. -Roseanne Cheng -Roseanne Cheng
An astronaut will not weigh anything because the acceleration due to gravity in outer space is 0 m/s2. However, the mass of the astronaut is constant in outer space because it does not depend on where he is.
The astronaut would have 0 weight and would have normal mass because the astronaut would not experience gravitational force. In outer space there will be no gravitational pull. in other part of the galaxy the mass will stay the same.
The answer to the first question is no since there are no celestial objects surrounding the astronaut that exerts significant gravity. There are no objects that attracts or pulls the astronaut, therefore, he has no weight.(since weight is mass X gravity) However, the astronaut still has mass since everything in the universe has mass (unproven) and mass is constant.(at least in normal conditions) Although mass and weight are directly proportional, that doesn't mean that if weight is 0 then mass would be 0. (since weight is MASS X GRAVITY)
The astronaut would still have the same amount of mass. His weight, however, becomes 0 because first of all, he is in space and space has no gravity.( weight = mass x gravity ; gravity = 0 ) [ (We assume that) ] There are also no surrounding celestial bodies and therefore has nothing to attract him or gravitationally pull him.
No, the astronaut wouldn't weigh anything simply because there is no gravity in space, especially if the location is far from any object that exerts gravitational force. Although the astronaut wouldn't have weight, he would still have mass since mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is always constant.
The astronaut's mass will remain the same in outer space as on earth because mass is the amount of matter in an object and is therefore constant. His weight, on the other hand, will be 0 because weight is dependent on gravity and there is no gravity in outer space.
the astronaut's weight will get very very near to 0 but will not reach zero because even though he is very far from these celestial bodies, there is still, at least, a very infinitesimally small gravitational force acting on him however his mass will always stay the same. :)
The astronaut would not weigh anything in space because weight is the measurement of the force of an object caused by gravity; since there are no celestial bodies/objects with gravity surrounding him, so his weight will be 0. Mass is the amount of matter inside an object, and will remain constant.
Out in deep space, far from any celestial body that exerts significant gravity, an astronaut wouldn't weigh anything because his weight is dependent on the gravity present. Since there is no gravity, he has no weight. However, he would still have mass, same as his mass on Earth. A person's mass is the same no matter where he is because it is constant.
The astronaut would not weigh anything because weight depends on gravity and there is no gravity in space ( weight = mass x gravity ). On the other hand, the astronaut's mass would still be the same anywhere in the universe because mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
the astronaut has no weight because it is stated that there is no gravity. Your mass in earth would be the same in outer space because mass is constant.
The astronaut will not weigh anything because there is simply no gravity in space which is far from any celestial body that exerts gravitational force , because if there would be gravity in space, astronauts would not be able to float freely in space. Mass ,on the other hand, is the measure of the amount of matter in the object. When an object is in a place where there is no gravity, its matter will not suddenly disappear or go out of the body of an object. With this fact, I am absolutely sure that mass is constant where ever the object is; therefore, the astronaut will have mass because it will not have become a person, or have a heart if it is not composed of matter.
Out in deep space,an astronaut's weight is 0 because there is no gravity present,and for a thing/person to have weight gravity must be present.His mass on the other hand will still remain the same for mass is constant wherever you go.
No, the astronaut will not weigh anything, because there is no gravity in space, and because weight depends on gravity. Yes, he will still have mass because it is the amount of matter within an object, and therefore it is forever constant.
In deep space, there is little to no gravity affecting the astronaut because there is no celestial body that is near enough to have a significant effect on the astronaut. So, with that said, the astronaut will not have weight. Mass on the other hand, never changes and whatever the mass of the astronaut on Earth will be the same anywhere else, including outer space.
From the equation, Fw = mg, weight is the only thing affected by gravity, weight is the only thing affected by gravity. Mass is independent of the force of gravity. The astronoaut would not weigh anything, however, he will still have mass.
The mass of the astronaut would still be the same, because the mass is constant. It is the weight that would become zero, because there is no gravity in space. Therefore g in w=m x g is 0 that would have an answer of a weight of zero.
The astronaut's weight would be zero and his mass would still be the same because space doesn't have gravity so the astronaut won't weigh anything compare to his weight here on Earth.
The astronaut would not weigh anything, since the astronaut is far from objects. No attraction would take place. The astronaut's mass will always be the same wherever he is because mass is measured by how much matter an object contains. The matter of an object will not change even if it were in other planets. -Elgene Lim
Because weight is dependent on the force of gravity, the astronaut would weigh practically nothing if he were somewhere far from any celestial object that exerts significant gravity. The astronaut's mass, however, would never change regardless of location.
The astronaut's weight won't be zero because even if he is far away from any celestial object in deep space, there would be still a little amount of gravity. Any matter in space floats because the gravity in space is so weak that any matter will float around in deep space. Mass is always constant, so if you weigh 150 lbs in outer space you will also weigh 150 lbs even you float because of weak gravitational force.
The astronaut's weight would be zero while the mass would remain constant. The weight would be zero because outer space don't have gravity. The mass would remain constant because wherever we go, the mass would remain constant. -Yvette Velez
No, the astronaut will not weigh anything because, as what was stated in the question, gravity there is insignificant. The mass, on the other hand, is different. He will still have a constant mass where ever he goes, whether it be Earth or Mars because mass is solely made up of the matters existing within an object.
The astronaut will not weigh anything because there is no gravity in space. Base on the equation w=mg, weight depends on gravity, therefore; weight will be zero. The mass; however, will remain constant.
The astronaut's weight will be close to 0 but not exactly 0 since there is still gravity acting upon him, no matter how weak it is. Mass, will never change. It will always stay the same wherever you go.
An astronaut will not weigh anything. The astronaut will have a mass bacause mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight depends on gravity because weight is the amount of gravitational force exerted on an object. Mass does not depend or even relate to gravity, so mass does not change. Though mass is related to weight, because the more mass, the more gravitational pull. Mass does not change, however, because particles do not come and go from a cube when gravity changes in certain areas. -Priscilla Ang
The astronaut's weight would be zero and the astronaut would have mass because there is no gravitational force in outer space and mass is always constant anywhere. -Pamela Yap
