Besides mass what does gravity depend on?
No. Whether an astronaut is asleep in Houston, in free-fall on his way to the moon, or standing on the moon's surface, he still has the same mass.
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
A feather is in free fall when the force of gravity?
Nothing is ever in free fall if it's falling through air. It doesn't depend on the force of gravity.
Is your mass on the Moon smaller than your mass on the Earth?
No, it is the same; it is also the same in free-fall.
A 3-kg mass is in free fall What is the velocity of the mass after 7 seconds?
69 m/s
How far out from the Earth do you have to be to NOT fall into an orbit?
That would totally depend on your mass.
Besides mass what does gravity depend on?
No. Whether an astronaut is asleep in Houston, in free-fall on his way to the moon, or standing on the moon's surface, he still has the same mass.
If an object is in free fall what does it have?
Mass and inertia.

No, it is the same; it is also the same in free-fall.
Does free-fall acceleration vary on other planets?
Yep. So would terminal velocity in free-fall. It would depend entirely on the gravity of the planet.
Why are gases weightless?
they are not. if anything has mass, it has weight (unless in free fall).
A 3-kg mass is in free fall. What is the velocity of the mass after 7 seconds?
69 m/s
A 3-kg mass is in free fall What is the velocity of the mass after 7 seconds?
69 m/s
A 4-kg mass is in free fall What is the velocity of the mass after 11 seconds?
108 m/s
What is the relationship between free-fall acceleration and mass?
The rate of free-fall acceleration is a constant based upon the local gravity - on planet Earth the acceleration is 9.8m/s2. Mass is a function of the object being measured or observed, which can vary considerably. The two do not directly affect each other, but both taken together determine the force of the object in free-fall - by knowing the free-fall acceleration and the mass of the object, you can calculate how hard it will impact the Earth.
