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?

An object's weight changes in outer space because gravity is weaker compared to what we experience on Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling on an object, so in space, with less gravity, the object weighs less. However, the mass of an object stays the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter in the object, which does not change regardless of the gravitational force acting on it.


What happen if you thow a large object on the sun?

If a large object were to be thrown onto the sun, it would be vaporized almost instantly due to the extreme heat and pressure. The object would not reach the sun's surface before disintegrating in its outer atmosphere.

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.


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!


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.


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.


What the measurement of the outer surface of an OBJECT?

The perimeter


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.
