if you turn it one way, you turn the other way a small fraction of the amount it turned (the fraction being its mass over your mass). You dont need to be held down, as you can still exert force in low gravity areas..
We would be floating around like you see astronauts in space do because there is no gravity in space. Gravity is what holds us down to earth.
No, you do not float in space. In space, there is no gravity to pull you down, so you would float freely.
You would be lighter in space because weight is the result of gravity pulling on your mass. In the absence of gravity in space, you would not experience the same force pulling you down, making you feel weightless.
Jump. Did you come down? That's because of gravity. Without gravity, the Sun would explode, and the planets would all hurtle off into space.
cause gravity pulls us down and doesn't let us float
Gravity holds things down to Earth (or any other body in space). The oxygen only stays on earth because of this gravity. Without gravity, oxygen and our whole atmosphere would just disperse and float off into space.
If you were close enough to the earth than yes, but you would never reach the ground, you would be burned up in the atmosphere. You would slowly drift closer as the earth is surrounded by gravity and it gets weaker the farther away you get from the earth.
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to earths surface.
The astronaut would release the object outside of the space shuttle and let it fall towards Earth due to gravity. The object would follow a trajectory back to Earth's surface without the need for further propulsion.
you would be weight "less" as in 0 you wouldn't be able to get on to e.g scales sorry?
Weight is caused by being pulled down by a planet, therefore it changes from planet to planet. When in space we orbit a planet and the acceleration of the orbit counter-acts the weight - resulting in weightlessness.
yes m8
