In zero gravity it keeps traveling in the same direction. That is to say its velocity does not change. So if its velocity is zero, it remains zero.

What makes the object stay in place?

For an object to stay in place - unmoving - two conditions must be fulfilled:* The sum of all forces on the object must be zero. * The sum of all torques on the object must be zero. Usually the forces that tend to keep an object in place (despite forces such as gravity or wind) are anything holding it fast in place - including friction.


An object that appears to stay in place?

An object that appears to stay in place is stationary.


What is the purpose of gravity?

The purposes of gravity are to pull any object towards it


How do mountains stay upright?

This is a simple physics question. The centre of gravity (the place where most of an object's weight is) does not fall outside the base of the mountain.


What makes an objects stay in place?

Resistance keeps an object in place. This resistance can come from friction, which works against motion, or from an obstacle of some kind that is prohibiting movement. In terms of vertical motion, gravity holds all objects to the earth and keeps them firmly planted on the ground.An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by a forceAn object in place will stay in place unless acted upon by a force. So if you kick a box in place on the floor it will move. There is always a force of gravity pulling it down, bu the force of gravity is resisted by the floor which keeps it in place (equilibrium - no net force). If you cut around it and make a hole in the floor it will move straight down.

What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object taken to a planet with twice the gravity on earth?

the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change

How can an object stay the same but weight less?

Yes it is. An object's weight is the force (pull) that gravity exerts on the object's mass. Thus if you were to move the object to a place where the pull of gravity was different (from Earth's) - eg the Moon, then the object would weigh less but it would still have the same mass.
