What happens when you apply force in an object in space?

If you put a force of 10 n on an object and the object has the mass of 5 kg what will the acceleration of that object be?

If operating in free space, the speed of the object will be constant. If not operating in free space, but under the effects of gravity, then apply gravitational formulas to find the answer.


What object in space exerts force on another object that is close to it?

Every single object in space exerts a force on every single other object. They don't even have to be close.


How is the force of earth's gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?

The object launched into space has rocket motors with more force taking it away from Earth than Earth's force of gravity has in pulling the object toward its center.

Gravitational pull


How can you explore space if gravity attracts objects toward earth?

The same way you walk up a flight of stairs while gravity attracts you toward earth ... you apply an upward force to the object that's greater than the downward force of gravity. When you do that, the net force on the object is upward, and it accelerates away from the earth.

Gravity.


What is the force that causes things to move in space?

A force can cause an object to move if the amount of the force in the direction of movement is larger than the Frictional force of the object against the object on which it rests, and can overcome its Inertia.


When an object move are the force acting on it?

Not necessarily. An object doesn't need a force to move, only to CHANGE its velocity. In empty space, an object can continue moving indefinitely without any force.

When you're in space or theres no force acting on you.
