On launch, the gravitational force increases their body weight by about three or four times, and their blood tries to stay grounded, sending the body into chaos.

What will be the weight in kg of 1 liter of furnace oil having specific gravity of 0.9655?

Mass is measured in kilograms, not weight. The mass of the furnace oil will be 0.9655 kg. If you do not know the difference between weight and mass, consider the following: You have the same amount of material in you whether you are in earth, in mid space or on the moon. That is your mass. You also have a certain amount of weight on earth, which is the effect of the earth's gravitational force acting on your mass. On the moon, the gravitational force is only a sixth as strong and your weight will be only a sixth as much as on earth. In outer space, there may be no gravitational force in which case your weight will be 0. Thus your mass is something that is an intrinsic property of you (at least, of your body) while your weight is largely dependent on the gravitational force acting on you.


The gravitational force between 2 metal spheres in outer space is 2000 newtons How large would the factor be if the 2 spheres were 4 times as far apart?

F is inversely proportional to r*r . therefore the force will be reduced by the factor of 16th. hence the gravitational force will be 125N.


What does atomic mass have to do with the weight of an element?

Matter is bound energy displacing space, the volume and density of displacement is the mass of the matter involved. Gravity is the attraction between matter displacing space, weight is measure of the force exerted by matter due to its gravitational attraction. Therefore the atomic mass of a collection of matter defines the gravitational attraction that matter will exert which will define the measurable weight of the matter in question.


Does the acceleration of a projectile motion ever go to zero?

Not unless it is shot into deep space or a location of complete gravitational cancelation


Why the value of universal gravitational constant is usually unnoticeable?

Because of conditioning. I expect that you would soon notice it if the gravitational constant fell to zero and you were flung off into space! You do not notice atmospheric pressure for a similar reason.

Why the gravitational force is absent in space?

Gravitational force is not absent in space. In fact, gravitational force is what keeps the universe together. The planets orbit the sun based on gravitational force.


Does a vacuum space have gravitational force?

No, there is no mass there to have any gravitational force.

Design a device or technique to eliminate the effect of gravitational force?

Anything that pulls an object up will cancel the gravitational force. If you go into space, gravity is negligable. You could also do the experiment in a plane which is free-fall dropping.


What is the name of the force holding us to the ground?

Gravitational pull. It is pulling us towards the centre of the Earth. It is not visible . In space there is no gravitational force so we fly in space


Which type of force can act through empty space?

Electric and gravitational force can act through "empty" space.


Where is no gravity located?

There is nowhere that gravity is absent: it may be too weak to have any noticeable effect or the gravitational forces of two (or more) masses may be in balance. In outer space, the earth's gravitational force will be weak the sun's gravity will have a small effect on you anywhere within the solar system. And however small it is, there is the gravitational force of the Milky Way Galaxy acting on you.


Does the gravity affect the magnetic force lines by space distortion?

Magnetic lines of force follow space. If space is distorted by the presence of a large gravitational field, the magnetic lines will be distorted as well. Other than near black holes, this effect is negligible.


How does space have no gravity?

Gravitational pull still acts in space, but when you are in space, you are too far from the earth to feel any of its gravitational force. Gravitational force between two objects depends on their distance from each other and the further two objects are apart, the weaker the force of gravity is. So when we are in space, the earth's gravitational pull is still acting on us, but it is too far away for us to feel it.


Another word for force?

Another word for force is gravitational pull in space terms.


Why does their is weightlessness in space?

It is the gravitational force from our Earth that keeps our feet firmly on the ground. The further away into space we go, the less influence from the gravitational force from the Earth is felt - so we tend to float.
