Why is it possible for spacemen to pass food down their esophagus in the absence of gravity?
The food is transported down the esophagus by a process called 'peristalsis' - NOT gravity. The food is 'pushed' by the contraction of cartilage rings around the digestive tract. This is why you can (for example) swallow a drink sipped through a straw, while standing on your head.

What did spacemen drink in space?
Spacemen drink water and other beverages through a straw from specially designed containers in space to prevent liquids from floating away in the zero-gravity environment. They may also consume rehydratable beverages and powdered drinks by adding water.
Are gravity and no gravity alike?
They are similar, in that one is the absence of the other. However, they are not opposites, so they could not be considered 'alike'.
Do astronauts have weights in their space suits?
None, because of the absence of gravity
How is food moved along the asophagus?
Food is moved along the esophagus through a process called peristalsis, which involves the contraction and relaxation of muscles in the esophagus. These muscle contractions create wave-like movements that push the food towards the stomach. Additionally, gravity helps to move food downward as you swallow.
What do spacemen do to overcome the reduced amount of gravity that they experience on the moon?
-- There have been no 'spacemen' on the moon for 40 years now, and there isno planning going on right now to send any more.-- Increased gravity would need to be 'overcome'. Decreased gravity doesn't.-- After the total weightlessness (zero-gravity) during the 3-day trip just to reachthe moon, the return of gravity, even if it's only 16% of what it was on Earth, is awelcome relief.-- When the spaceman leaves the landing module and walks on the surface, themassive pressure suit, helmet, boots, and air conditioner he has to wear outsidemake him feel more normal on the moon than he would without all of that.-- Astronauts train for months to learn to function in environments with differentvalues of gravity.
What tube conects to the mouth and stomach?
The esophagus (also spelled Oesophagus) is the tube that connects the mouth and the stomach. It works through continuous wavelike muscle contractions known as peristalsis, along with downward gravity, to move food and liquids from the mouth and throat into the stomach.
Is it possible for an object not to have a center of gravity?
No, but the centre of gravity need not be inside the object. Not unless Gravity is not a variable. But it is not possible for an object to not have a center of mass.
Is it possible for us to manipulate gravity?
As of now, manipulating gravity is not possible with current technology and scientific understanding.
Does the esophagus breakdown food?
The espohagus doesn't breakdown food, it just carries it from the mouth to the stomach. Not by gravity, but by musclar energy.
Is anti gravity possible?
no
Why do spacemen need to wear pressurized suits?
Spacemen wear pressurized suits to protect themselves from the vacuum of space. Without a suit, there would be no atmospheric pressure to keep bodily fluids from boiling, causing rapid decompression sickness. The suit also provides oxygen for breathing and protection from extreme temperatures and micrometeoroids.
Is it possible to have a room with extra gravity like in dragon ball z?
It is possible if you get a machine that gives you more gravity.
