What else can I help you with?
can a weightless body have inertia?
Yes, a weightless body can still have inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and it is determined by the mass of an object rather than its weight. Even if a body has no weight due to being weightless in space, it will still have inertia based on its mass.
Are objects in freefall weightless?
Objects in freefall are not weightless; they still have mass and therefore experience the force of gravity. However, in freefall, they are accelerating towards the Earth due to gravity, which gives the sensation of weightlessness as the force of gravity is canceled out by the acceleration.
What is the relationship between mass density and the buoyancy of an object in a fluid?
The relationship between mass density and buoyancy of an object in a fluid is that the buoyant force acting on an object is determined by the difference in density between the object and the fluid it is immersed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.
How do you make stone weightless?
It's not possible to make stone weightless in the physical sense because all objects have mass and weight. However, in a virtual or augmented reality environment, you can manipulate the perception of weight using visual effects or simulations to create the illusion of a weightless stone.
Can an object with mass be weightless while under the influence of gravity?
No, an object with mass will always experience the gravitational force, so it cannot be truly weightless when under the influence of gravity. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so as long as gravity is present, the object will have weight.
When are you considered to be weightless but still have the mass?
when your on the moon, or anywhere that has less gravity than earth.
What is the true mass in vacuum of a piece of aluminum whose apparent mass is 1.2000 kg when weighed in air?
It's mass remains the same. It is weight that changes. Important difference. If it is a true vacuum, it will be weightless.
Does an astronaut have mass on the space shuttle if its weightless?
yes
How come an object can never be weightless?
gravity and mass...
can a weightless body have inertia?
Yes, a weightless body can still have inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and it is determined by the mass of an object rather than its weight. Even if a body has no weight due to being weightless in space, it will still have inertia based on its mass.
What is the weight of planet mar?
We should make the distinction between weight and mass. Mars is weightless. It has a considerable mass, though. See link for more information.IT weighs more than you
What is the difference between mass and capacity?
I do not know the answer.The difference between mass and capacity is that capacity is how much something can hold and mass is the weight of an object.
Why are gases weightless?
they are not. if anything has mass, it has weight (unless in free fall).
Are people weightless in the air?
No. Things are only weightless in the absence of a gravitational field or in constant acceleration (Inertial weight or mass) (Ask any skydiver.)
When an object is in free fall is it weightless?
Because the object's inertial motion is equal to the gravitational acceleration. Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration (W=mg), so you would feel weightless, but your mass stays the same.
What is the difference between the astronaut's mass on the earth and on the moon?
There is no difference in an astronaut's mass no matter where he or she might be. Mass is a constant, as opposed to weight which is dependent upon acceleration.None.Put simply. Mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object, whereas weight is a measurement of how hard gravity is pulling on that object. As their is less gravity on the moon, your weight would be different, your mass would not.
If the moon is only one 80th of Earth's mass then how can local gravity be one 6th there?
The force of gravity depends on the two masses involved, but also on the square of the distance between them. It's a difficult calculus problem, but you can show that the effect of a large distributed mass is the same as if the entire mass were concentrated at the center. So even though the mass of the Moon is less, the distance between the surface of the Moon and the center is also less. Since the force depends on the distance squared, the difference in radius has a proportionally larger effect than the difference in mass, making the surface gravity higher than you might expect just from looking at the mass difference.
