What else can I help you with?
Can people be weightless if so how and where?
People are weightless if in zero gravity in outer space. On earth, weightlessness can be simulated for training in a rapidly descending aeroplane.
If the space station were in a geosynchronous orbit above the earth would the people be weightless?
Yes, people on the space station in a geosynchronous orbit above Earth would still experience microgravity, which can make them feel weightless. This is because they are continuously falling towards Earth due to the balance between their forward motion and the planet's gravitational pull.
How much you weigh at the center of the earth?
At the center of the Earth, you would be weightless because the gravitational forces from the Earth's mass would be pulling equally in all directions, effectively canceling out the force of gravity acting on you.
Why does an austronaut ina satellite have no weight?
Weight is mass time gravity. If there is no gravity effect on someone in space, they are considered "weightless". They continue to have the same amount of mass whether they are in space or on Earth.
Why do astronauts appear to be weightless in a spacecraft orbiting earth?
Free fall
Are austronaughts really weightless in space?
Yes, but they do have the same mass. Weight is based off the effect of gravity pulling something down, because there is no gravity in space astronauts are weightless.
Why does a body lose weight at the centre of the earth?
In the center of the Earth gravity is equal at every side causing you to be "weightless".
What is weightless but takes two people to hold it?
A conversation.
Do you weigh less on earth than in a space ship orbiting 800 kilometers above earth?
No - more on Earth - in orbit you're weightless.
When are you considered to be weightless but still have the mass?
when your on the moon, or anywhere that has less gravity than earth.
How does weight of a body vary inside the earth?
People are (so far) not able to get very deep inside the Earth, so there is not that much variation, however, the closer you get to the center of the Earth, the less you would weigh. At the exact center you would be weightless.
Are objects in freefall weightless?
Objects in freefall are not weightless; they still have mass and therefore experience the force of gravity. However, in freefall, they are accelerating towards the Earth due to gravity, which gives the sensation of weightlessness as the force of gravity is canceled out by the acceleration.
