It will have the same mass no matter where the object is: free floating out in space or on a planet or on a powerful rocket rapidly accelerating.

What will be different is weight, which is only observed while the object is experiencing forces: free floating out in space the object has no weight, but either sitting on a planet or accelerating on a powerful rocket the object does have weight.

Does an object floating in space have any mass?

Yes. The mass of the object doesn't change, no matter where it is. What does change is the object's weight, because that depends on what other masses are nearby.


Why can you use an objects mass to be scribe the object?

You can use object mass to describe an object because objects just like any other matter have mass and occupy space.


What are 2 physical properties of matter?

In general, matter is any object that has mass and volume.


If a substance is floating does it have more or less mass?

mass of a substance is constant at any place in the universe.the reason for floating is its density is less than density of medium in which it is floating


What is gravitition force?

Gravitational force is the attractive force that exists between any two objects with mass. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun and objects on Earth from floating away into space. The strength of the gravitational force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.


Is any substance that has only volume?

No, for a substance to be considered matter it must have both mass and volume. Volume refers to the amount of space an object occupies, while mass refers to the amount of matter in the object. So, any substance that has volume also has mass.


How can an object in space warp space and time if it is essentially weightless and would not therefore create any gravitational influence on it?

Weightless is not the same as massless -- it is an object's mass that warps space (and time) around it, creating a gravitational field.


Can an object have mass and not weight?

Weight is due to gravitational pull on the massive objects. If acceleration due to gravity is 0, then weight too becomes 0 In free space any massive object having mass does not have weight at all.


What is any object with a mass that exerts a force on any other object with mass is called?

gravitational mass


Can random space objects develop an atmosphere?

Basically, such an object would need to have a large enough mass. If an object's gravitational attraction is too weak, any atmosphere would quickly dissipate into space.


When does a force change the velocity of an object?

If the object is in free-space, and any force applied over a period of time will change the velocity of an object. Force = mass * acceleration. Acceleration = velocity / time. Therefore, Force = mass * velocity/time.


Any space object that orbits another space object is called a?
