weight is a measure of the force between two masses, bathroom scales are a good example, multiply your mass in kg * 9.81 = force in newtons, if you are in freefall you are weightless

How is it possible to weigh specimens under zero gravity conditions?

You can measure the mass of your specimen, or the number of matter in it. If you are talking about weight it is not possible, because weight is gravity's effect on that specimen.


How can you measure mass?

Weight them under gravity or calculate from momentum of impact or spring load under centripetal force in space. Then refer the weight or the force to the gravity of earth at 9.81m/s2 and account for its' weight under earth gravity.


What does a stingray fall under?

It falls under water and the effect of gravity.


What is the effect of gravity - on the motion of falling objects - that are not inhibited by air resistance?

All objects, under these conditions, will accelerate at the same rate as they fall. (Note: Just the fact that you can call it a "falling" object is one of the effects of gravity.)


The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on what?

Projectile motion is a form of motion wherein an object moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on gravity.


What happens to the weight of the body when it falling freely under the action of gravity?

Nothing. If the 'weight' of a body is the gravitational force between the body and the Earth, then as long as the body stays at about the same distance from the center of the Earth, its weight is constant, and has no connection with its motion.


What is motion that is under the influence of gravity alone called?

Motion under the influence of gravity alone is called free fall. In free fall, an object is only acted upon by the force of gravity, causing it to accelerate towards the Earth at a constant rate.


Can an object with mass be weightless while under the influence of gravity?

No, an object with mass will always experience the gravitational force, so it cannot be truly weightless when under the influence of gravity. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so as long as gravity is present, the object will have weight.


How is weight related to the force of gravity?

Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. The greater an object's mass, the stronger the force of gravity pulling on it, resulting in a higher weight. Weight is directly proportional to the mass of an object under the influence of gravity.


What should the minimum velocity of water under gravity be?

0 m/s (no motion)


What two types of motion does projectile motion include?

projectile motion means means the motion of a particle under the effect of gravity after being given some initial velocity by an external force. its path called trajectory is parabolic. so it includes motion in both x and y axes. the difference being that in x axis it is uniform motion and in y axis it is accelerated motion


When does an object not move downwards under the effect of gravity?

On every object on earth, earth exerts a force on it which is equal to the weight of object. When we throw a object it earth exerts force on it and it came downwards but if we throw it with escape velocity then it will not move downwards.
