It doesn't. It's still calculated in the same way and still depends on the same things.
Wherever you happen to be, the force of gravity between the object in your hand and any other
mass in the neighborhood is still proportional to the product of the two masses, and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Of course, if the second object in the neighborhood happens not to be a large mass, like a planet,
then the force between it and your object is going to be less than what you're accustomed to.
What else can I help you with?
Does your weight change if you take a spaceship into space?
Your weight does not technically change when you go into space, as weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. However, in space your gravitational force is reduced (you are in a state of freefall), so you experience the sensation of weightlessness.
What is the name for when the gravitational forces for an object in space are balanced?
The term for when the gravitational forces on an object in space are balanced is "gravitational equilibrium." This occurs when the gravitational force pulling inward is exactly counteracted by an outward force, such as pressure from internal fusion reactions in stars.
How does gravitational force affect your mass?
Gravitational force does not change your mass. Mass is the same when you are floating in the weightlessness of space, but your mass when put into a gravitational field creates your weight. On Earth, Earth's gravity (gravitational force) pulls on your mass, creating your weight. The mass of an object determines its gravitational pull. A object with a lot of mass like the Earth has a lot of gravitational force/pull -- the force we call gravity. So, your body has a gravitational force, it's just so small, because your mass is small, it isn't noticeable.
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 the result of the mass of the object and the distance that affect the amount of gravitational force between two objects in space?
mass and distance form an inverse relationship when related to gravity. The larger the mass(es) the greater the gravitational pull. The closer the distance, the greater the gravitational pull.
What force is causes an object to orbit another object in space?
Gravitational pull
What is a region of space that exerts a force on a test object at every point in that space?
A gravitational field is a region of space that exerts a force on a test object at every point in that space. This force is proportional to the mass of the object and weaker with distance from the source of the field.
The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is?
The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is the gravitational field. This field is responsible for exerting a force on any other object within its influence, causing it to experience gravitational acceleration towards the massive object.
Where can you put an object so that it will have no buoyant force?
In space and away from anything with a gravitational pull.
Does your weight change if you take a spaceship into space?
Your weight does not technically change when you go into space, as weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. However, in space your gravitational force is reduced (you are in a state of freefall), so you experience the sensation of weightlessness.
Does mass and weight change with location because the force of gravity changes?
Mass does not change with location because it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, weight does change with location because it is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object. So, an object will weigh less where gravity is weaker, like in outer space.
What is the name for when the gravitational forces for an object in space are balanced?
The term for when the gravitational forces on an object in space are balanced is "gravitational equilibrium." This occurs when the gravitational force pulling inward is exactly counteracted by an outward force, such as pressure from internal fusion reactions in stars.
What object in space exerts force on another object that is close to it?
An object in space exerts force on another object close to it due to gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. The strength of the gravitational force is determined by the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
What is similar between inertial mass and gravitational mass?
Inertial mass is a quantitative measure of an object's resistance to the change of its speed. Gravitational mass is the property of the mass of an object that produces a gravitational field in the space surrounding the object.
What is the object in space that pulls on water in the oceans to cause tides?
The object in space that pulls on water in the oceans to cause tides is the Moon. Its gravitational force causes the water to bulge towards it, creating high tides.
What is a natural force of attraction exerted by one object on another object?
Gravitational force is a natural force of attraction exerted by one object on another object. It is responsible for the force that keeps planets in orbit around the sun and objects on Earth from floating out into space.
What would you weigh in deep space where the gravitational force is zero?
In deep space where the gravitational force is zero, you would be essentially weightless. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, so in the absence of gravity, there would be no force acting on you to give you weight.
