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 would happen if you took off your helmet in space?

If an astronaut were to take off their helmet in space, they would be exposed to the vacuum of space which would lead to decompression, causing rapid loss of consciousness within a few seconds. Due to the lack of oxygen, the astronaut would ultimately suffocate and die.


An astronaut has a mass of 50kg. How much does she weigh before take off?

The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it. On Earth, the weight of a 50kg astronaut would be approximately 490N (using the formula weight = mass x gravity, where gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s^2).


What are the two forces acting when a space shuttles take off?

The two forces acting on a space shuttle during take off and throughout its ascent through the atmosphere are Thrust and Weight. Moreover, there is also a drag force in the direction of the weight, i.e., opposite to the motion of the space shuttle. Hope that's what you were looking for. :)


Why were the Apollo astronauts able to take a giant leap on the moon?

The phrase was a metaphor for Mankind's technical progress, but the astronaut's gait on the Moon's surface was slightly jumpy due to their reduced weight.

What does a astronaut take into space for lunch?

Astronauts take vacuum packed food into space so that it is preserved. Although, if you think about it, this is quite strange because there is no atmosphere in space and therefore how can it go off ? Anyway, I digress, for lunch an astronaut would eat Starbucks.


Can an astronaut take a monkey into space?

If he took a monkey with him, presumably for scientific purposes, it would need to wear a suit just like the astronaut so it could breath and be protected from space.
