Why can't a hot air balloon float in outer space?

A hot air balloon requires air to generate lift. In outer space, there is no air or atmosphere, so there is nothing for the hot air balloon to displace to generate lift, causing it to be unable to float.


Will one ton float in outer space?

No, one ton would not float in outer space because weightlessness in space is due to the absence of gravity, not because of buoyant forces. In space, objects with mass will still have weight but will appear weightless due to the lack of a gravitational force pulling them down.


How fast do objects go in free fallouter space?

Objects in free fall in outer space can reach very high speeds, limited only by the acceleration due to gravity and lack of air resistance. The speed depends on the gravitational force of the celestial body they are falling towards. For example, objects in free fall towards Earth's surface reach a speed of about 9.8 m/s².


Why does an object changes weight in outer space and why would the mass stay the same?

Because the mass is the amount of matter that makes up the object. That doesn'tdepend on where the object is located.The weight of an object is the force of gravity that attracts the object to other masses.The bigger and closer the other mass is, the stronger the force is, so the greater is theobject's weight.


What is called the outer or topmost part of something?

The outer or topmost part of something is commonly referred to as the "surface" or "exterior." In various contexts, it can also be called the "outer layer" or "casing." This term describes the part that is visible and often serves as the boundary between the object and its environment.

What are two examples of objects at rest?

Newton's first law basically says that an object in motion that is not acted on by any other forces will stay in motion and an object at rest that is not acted on by any other forces will stay at rest. An example of an object in motion staying in motion could be an astronaut floating in outer space. As long as there is no gravity force acting on him (and there is no drag because space is a vacuum) the astronaut will continue to float at the same speed and in the same direction forever.


Is cloud a celestial object?

No. A celestial object is an object in outer space, such as a planet, star, meteor or comet. Clouds are not in outer space, therefore they are not a celestial object.


Why does an astronauts float when he is in outer space?

Because there is zero gravity in space


How long does it take to drive from Indianapolis IN to the Outer Banks SC?

Forever outer banks aren't in SC


Why would a ball thrown in outer space continue to move in a straight line?

This is due to Newtons first law. Because their is no gravity the object will move in a straight line unless a outside force is applied to it. Such as the gravity of a near by planet/object.

How long can pumice float?

Forever. As long as the rock chambers holding the air don't break, there is no reason for it to sink. If the piece is too small and is depending on air in the outer edges to hold it up, once the air goes out of them, it might lose its bouyancy.


Why does an astronaut float an outer space?

cos he farts from his bum too much


Is water from outer space the same as water on earth?

no because it comes in bubbles that float,for example if I opened a bottle of water there it would float!


Do things slow down as quickly in outer space as it does on Earth?

Usually not. To slow a moving object down, some force must act on the moving object. On Earth, this force is usually friction. In outer space, there is no significant amount of friction, so moving objects tend to continue moving, unless they are slowed down by OTHER forces, such as gravity.


Can't drop anything without gravity?

Due to the lack of gravity in outer space, an object and the astronauts in a spaceship, will float. Back on Earth, gravity causes an object to drop to the ground, and keeps our feet firmly on the ground.
