Depens on the amount of gravity. On Earth, they accelerate at about 9.8 meters per square second.

Are objects in vacuum heavier than air?

No, objects have the same weight in a vacuum as they do in air. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which is independent of the surrounding air or lack thereof. However, objects feel lighter in a vacuum because there is no air resistance to oppose their motion.


How gravity does effects objects?

Gravity is a force of attraction between two objects with mass. The larger the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull. Gravity affects objects by pulling them towards each other, causing them to accelerate towards each other. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around stars and for the weight we feel on Earth's surface.


What transfers heat in the form of rays or waves?

Radiation transfers heat in the form of rays or waves. This process does not require a medium and can occur through a vacuum. Radiation is responsible for the heat we feel from the sun and from objects that are at a higher temperature than their surroundings.


What makes you feel weightless in an elevator?

The earth's gravity causes objects on earth (you) to accelerate toward earth's center at approximately 9.8 m/s2, when an elevator accelerates toward the earth's center (down) some of the force that you feel from gravity (weight) is negated. This results in a feeling of weightlessness.


Why do objects weigh more in vacuum than in air?

Weight is dependant upon gravity and the relationship to large bodies of mass such as planets. However, if you were to be put into a vacuum on the surface of the Earth, you would way less. There is air pressure pushing down on you and that would add some weight. It also pushes up on parts of you. The difference is not likely to be very significant, but it should be measurable. However, I don't volunteer to be the person in the vacuum chamber! I am not a scientist, but I believe that you would weigh very slightly more in a vacuum. Think of our atmosphere as being a liquid of very low density compared with water. An object that floats in water displaces water in the amount of the object's weight; if you put a scale under a floating object, the scale registers the object's weight as zero. A perfectly bouyant object has the same density (specific gravity) as water, and as such will have a substantial weight if measured on land. But it will have no weight if weighed in water. An object that sinks in water will have weight, but it will weigh its land weight minus the weight of water displaced by its volume. This should be the same for a person (in a pressure suit, of course). The person will not be bouyed up at all by the atmosphere.

How does Gravity affect astronouts in space?

Gravity from objects such as the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, or the Milky Way will attract and accelerate an astronaut. "Accelerate" implies that the astronaut's velocity will change over time.If the astronaut is in free fall (basically, the spaceship's engine is not pushing the spacecraft), then the astronaut won't FEEL such gravity.


Why might a 1999 Chevy venture accelerate on its own making it difficult to stop with recently replaced brakes and then idle very high when put in park?

First thing I would look for is a loose vacuum line to the engine, sucking in the extra air. If the brakes feel "hard", look on the brake booster (the big round thing that the master cylinder is attached to) for a disconnected vacuum source line.


What would cause a car to bump when you accelerate but It does not make a noise and I feel a bumping when I accelerate and it stops when I let off the gas?

Is it bogging down? if thats what your referring to, then maybe try a fuel pump if yoir car has one.


What does space look like feel like?

In space, it would usually feel like you're swimming in nothing and without an oxygen suit you will die because there isn't any oxygen. Space usually has meteors, asteroids and comets flying and floating around and it's just dark and starry.


Why would car shake and feel pulsating in accelerate pedal?

Maybe some of ur sparkplugs are not working causing the spark to ignite the fuel but idk why it would be doing that maybe an injector is bad


How do you test the egr valve?

The question is,"How do you check an Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve?" What I would do first (And am currently doing on a 1993 Ford Taurus 3 litre V-6)is pull the vacuum tube from the EGR valve, blip the throttle or have someone place the car in gear and accelerate LIGHTLY WITH FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE AND PARKING BRAKE APPLIED and see if you can feel vacuum pull in the tube. If no, like the Taurus, the EGR control valve or motor, which is usually electric, may be defective. Another step would be to connect a length of vacuum hose to the disconnected EGR valve, then have that someone accelerate like before, but this time, and for lack of a better word, suck lightly on the hose; the engine should start to run slightly roughly or the pinging will stop...or, if the diaphragm is defective you will not be able to pull vacuum; that is, it will be like sucking air through a straw. Third, if the EGR valve is stuck, you will have vacuum when you pull on the hose, but nothing happens with the engine. Hope this has helped. Kevin NC

Why you do not feel the earth rotation?

We don't feel the Earth rotating, because we're rotating with it. If it stopped or sped up, we would certainly feel it. It's like riding in a car; when the car is going straight on a smooth road at the same speed, we don't feel it; only when we turn or slow down or speed up.


Why does your car feel like its going to stall and engine shakes?

Quite possibly a vacuum leak, or problem with fuel flow. Vacuum leaks can be bad at idle and cause it to stall, a fuel problem would make it very difficult to move at all.

Does inanimate objects feel pain?

No they don't have nerves.
