How would your weight change if your floating freely in space?

you would be weight "less" as in 0 you wouldn't be able to get on to e.g scales sorry?


Does an object floating in space have any mass?

Yes. The mass of the object doesn't change, no matter where it is. What does change is the object's weight, because that depends on what other masses are nearby.


How does weight change in space?

In space, weightlessness occurs because there is no gravity acting on objects. As a result, objects and astronauts float freely without feeling the sensation of weight. This is different from mass, which remains constant regardless of location.


Does an object floating far in space have any mass?

It will have the same mass no matter where the object is: free floating out in space or on a planet or on a powerful rocket rapidly accelerating.What will be different is weight, which is only observed while the object is experiencing forces: free floating out in space the object has no weight, but either sitting on a planet or accelerating on a powerful rocket the object does have weight.


How would it feel like if you were floating freely in space?

The feeling of weightlessness is similar to the feeling you have when floating in a swimming pool. Buoyancy is a pretty good simulation of weightlessness. Although there is NO friction in space so you would be either dead from explosive decompression or (if you were wearing a space-suit) you would bee throwing up in your helmet from rapid spinning.


Do astronauts weight change in space?

Yes


Do an astronauts weight change in space?

Yes


Can an object have mass but not weight?

Sure. Have you seen the video of the astronauts floating around inside their satellites, international space station, space shuttle, Apollo capsule, etc. ?Weight depends on the gravitational field in which the mass is located. No gravity = no weight.

Why do objects weight change as they travel through space?

Because weight is based on gravity, and gravity changes throughout space.


Does the mass of an astronaut change when she or he is visiting the International Space Station?

The mass of an astronaut does not change when she is visiting the International Space Station. Mass is a property that does not change, but the weight of a person does change in space.


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.
