Objects in the space shuttle do what when they have no force supporting them?
Float. Because there is no force or gravity to support them.
Does gravity effect astronauts in space shuttle?
Yes, it affects all objects in space (and all objects have a gravity of their own, that grows with size/"weight"). The reason why people talk about "zero gravity" in the space station and shuttle is because both the shuttle and the people inside it are affected by the same amount of gravity, so relatively they are falling at the same rate. Hence people inside the shuttle will not be moving towards the edge of the shuttle due to gravity. Take a football (the shuttle) and a tennis ball (some people) and hold them at the same distance from the ground and then release them (withuot adding any force, just let go). You will see that both objects will be affected by gravity, but relatively the tennis ball and the football are moving at the same speed. Now imagine that the tennis ball was inside the football and voilá, you have the shuttle scenario. Obviously the space shuttle is not falling directly towards the earth, it is actually "falling past it" - something that scientists call "orbit".
Is gravitational force acting on a person who falls off a cliff or on an astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle?
Yes to both. That would include people inside the shuttle too. If the shuttle sowed down, it would fall back to earth
What objects exert gravitational force?
Absolutely ALL objects does this. Large objects, much force. Small objects, little force. Black holes, Humoungus force.
If you climb a high mountain the buoyant force exerted on you by the atmosphere?
It is less.
What kind of force do liquids and gases exerts on objects placed in them?
the answer to thins question in inside your pants hahah but no its resistance
What determines an objects buoyant force?
Density
Is the buoyant force of a metal equal to the buoyant force of a wood that has the same mass?
Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.
What if an objects weighs 135 newtons how much is the buoyant force to make a neutral buoyancy?
The buoyant force is 135N
What force cause objects to float when the weight is greater than a buoyant force?
If the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force, then it will not float - it will sink.
What is the force called that is exerted by a fluid that has objects immersed in it?
Buoyant force, buoyancy force, buoyancy.
If two identical objects are placed in different fluids the buoyant force will be greater on the object in the?
The buoyant force will be greater on the object in the denser fluid.
What force keeps objects from sinking in water?
Buoyant force.
What are the 2 forces involved in sinking and floating?
Gravity is pulling down, and Buoyancy is pushing up. When the force of gravity is greater than the buoyant force, objects sink. When the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity, objects float.
What is the name of the Force that helps objects float?
Buoyant force.The buoyant force is the net upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged or immersed object.Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.An object will float in a fluid if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the object's weight.
What is the effect of buoyant force on the ability an object has to float?
The buoyant force is what causes and object to float. If the buoyant force is less than the object weight, it sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the objects weight, it rises to the top. If it is equal, the object will float in the middle, neither rising or falling.
Why does a buoyant force act on every object in Fluid?
Buoyant force is defined as the upward force exerted by a liquid, gas or other fluid, that opposes the weight of an immersed object. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the objects. Because all of the objects displace the fluid, buoyant force acts on all of them.
