actually they won't, unless some force causes them to move. but because there is virtually no resistance to movement in space (everything you do here is impeded by the Earth's atmosphere and gravity) a small force is sufficient to keep an object moving for a long time.
First it is a common misconception that things "float" in space. Actually everything in space is in a freefall, and when things freefall they appear to be weightless. There is no way to escape gravity, and anything that mass mass has gravity, even if you were a millin lightyears away Earths gravity would still affect you it would just be very very weak . Astronuts in the space shuttle "float" bcease they are so high up that they are falling around the Earth.
Just like Earth's gravity holds you to Earth, and doesn't let you float away, Mars, too, has some gravity (less than Earth), which won't simply let objects float away into space.
Living in space is different from living on earth because on the space you float and there is no people you can talk to. Also because if we would have the same things as the space we would be floating .As you can see that's why is different.Sincerly:Nancy.m6 Grader
Under water they are as buoyant as each other but on land the balloon will float away and the Styrofoam will stay.
The moon is about 380000 km away from earth. Remember, space is vast, and those charts about things orbiting things are not at all accurate.
They don't float away because of gravity
they might float away
They are strapped down to a bed so that they will not float away and don't get hurt
to not float away
Ultimately, no. If you try, the beer will just float away
It would float away into space and implode.
Whether or not you float has nothing to do with vacuum. You float because you are too far away from the earth (or other massive objects) for their gravity to have any noticeable effect on you. It just so happens that this occurs in space where natural vacuum may be found.
The space shuttle helped us to be able to go into space and find out lots of info. we did not know. Before we had the space shuttle all we had were telescopes. Telescopes were good but all that they gave us were a picture and then we had to estimate how far away things in the universe were from other things were in the universe. Now that we have the space shuttle we are able to see things that we may not have seen with the telescope. We are also able to see how far away things are from other things
An object in space won't float off in any direction unless it is pushed. When it is it will go in the direction it is pushed and continue until it is either pushed again or bumps into something.
If you push off from something in space without any external force acting on you, you will continue moving forward at a constant velocity due to inertia. However, in the absence of gravity or other forces, you will not float away forever. Your initial push will determine how far you drift before coming to a stop or encountering another object, as there is no air resistance or friction in space to slow you down.
We do not float into the air because of gravity, the force that pulls objects toward each other. Gravity keeps us grounded on the Earth's surface by attracting us toward its center. If gravity didn't hold us down, we would indeed float away into space.
Yes, it is true that an astronaut in space will float away without a tether or thrusters to hold her in place. In the microgravity environment of space, objects and people will continue in their current trajectory unless acted upon by an external force. The astronaut needs to be tethered to the space station or use thrusters in her space suit to prevent drifting away.
