Apparent weightlessness is the sensation a body feels, when they have nothing stopping them from accelerating at the same rate as the acceleration of a gravitational field.
Any body in earth's (or any other planets) gravitational field has weight, you just may not be able to feel it at times.
It is a common mistake to think that your weight is the force that you push down with onto earth. The force that gives one the sensation of weight is actually a force known as the 'normal reaction force'. This is the force of the ground, or anything beneath you, pushing you back up.
Thus if the normal force beneath your feet disappears, there is nothing stopping your feet from falling, and you experience 'apparent weightlessness'
What else can I help you with?
What is the apparent shift in measurement is called?
parallax
Motion is described with respect to a what?
With respect to a state of rest or apparent rest.
Brightest star in the sky?
The brightest star in the sky, is our Sun. It is a star. After the Sun, Sirius is the next brightest star, or the brightest in the night sky.
What are some apparent environmental impacts from solar energy?
large consumption of land surface area.
The apparent motion of stars is due to movement of?
The rotation of the Earth makes the stars appear to move in the sky.
An object with no apparent weight experiences BLANK?
An object with no apparent weight experiences weightlessness.
How do you explain the apparent weightlessness of orbiting objects?
you cant
Distinguish between apparent weightlessness and true weightlessness?
Apparent weightlessness occurs when an object is in free fall, making it feel weightless due to the absence of support forces. True weightlessness occurs when an object is at a point in space where the gravitational pull is negligible, resulting in a complete absence of gravitational forces acting on the object.
What is the floating feeling in space called?
The feeling is called "falling".It happens because of the apparent lack of gravity,which leads to weightlessness.
Is weightless an adjective?
Yes, it is. It can be used to mean 'very lightweight' or literally experiencing no apparent pull of gravity.The related noun form is weightlessness.
Inside a freely-falling elevator would there be no apparent weight for you?
Yes, inside a freely-falling elevator, you would experience apparent weightlessness. This is because the elevator and everything inside it, including you, would be falling at the same rate due to gravity, creating the sensation of weightlessness.
How do astronauts in orbit utilize their apparent weightlessness to develop a clever method for measuring mass?
Astronauts in orbit use their weightlessness to measure mass by swinging objects on a string like a pendulum. By measuring the time it takes for the object to swing back and forth, they can calculate its mass using a known formula.
What does weightlessness?
Weightlessness is the effect that astronauts enjoy in space.
How will the density of an object change in microgravity?
In microgravity, the density of an object remains the same. However, the apparent weight of the object is reduced because there is no gravitational force acting on it, giving the impression of weightlessness.
Does the earth ever stop putting pressure on things?
Scientists on Earth have access to the crew's data and can modify.However, objects in orbit are in a continuous state of freefall, resulting in an apparent state of weightlessness.
How could you use the word weightlessness in a sentence?
you are so weightlessness
What does weightlessness mean?
Weightlessness is the effect that astronauts enjoy in space.
