Absolutely not!
Any body has the same mass anywhere. The weight of a body is the effect of gravity on the mass.
Your mass would still be 158 pounds in outer space. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not depend on gravity. Your weight, on the other hand, would be different in outer space because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Its weight depends on the force of gravity acting on the mass. In outer space, for example, its weight will be 0.
Zero is not correct. Your weight may be zero in parts of space, but not in others. Weight, however, is a different thing altogether to mass and it is important not to confuse the two. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and this remains the same.
A body always has mass. The Weight is dependent on the gravity inflicted on that body. According to F=mg, where Weight is equal to "F", Weight is 0 when gravity is equal to 0. The only place that gravity is 0 is in outer space so there's no weight in outer space but you will always still have a mass.
Yes, weight depends on the gravity of the planet. The weight of an object is different on a planet with a different gravity. An object has zero weight in outer space. No! An object does not have zero weight in outer space. Why? Because gravity exists in outer space.
Weight is mass time gravity. If there is no gravity effect on someone in space, they are considered "weightless". They continue to have the same amount of mass whether they are in space or on Earth.
Your mass is never different no matter where you are. Mass is the amount of space you take up. Your weight is a different thing, and that changes with the amount of gravity. In outer space you are 'weightless' but not massless.
A pound is a unit of mass. Mass is constant throughout the cosmos, so if the astronaut has a MASS of 180 pounds on Earth, it will be the same even in space. But, the astronaut doesn't have a weight of 180 pounds. His MASS is 180 pounds. Weight = mass x gravity. So, in space, his weight is 0 Newtons.
yes, outer space has no air, so u could drop a 100 pound weight and a 1000 pound weight at the same time and they would still fall at the same speed. (kewl, huh?) :)
Mass is anything that has weight and occupies space.
Anything that has mass and takes up space is considered matter.
In outer space, a woman that weighs 60kg would still weigh 60kg. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, and even though there is microgravity in space, the woman's mass (and hence weight) remains the same. Gravity just no longer plays a role in defining her weight.
