We refer to astronauts in space as weightless, but not without mass. Why?
since weight is measured as mass multiplied by gravitational acceleration, and in space, as gravitational accelerationis zero, the weight is also becomes zero.

We refer to astronauts in space as weightless but not without mass astronauts in space experience weightlessness. Mhm. Due to zero gravitational force yeah. When acceleration due to gravity is more. Mhm. As for Earth Where it is 9.8 meters per second squared, objects are pulled towards Earth's surface. Since space has negligible gravitational force. Mhm. Mhm. Okay. Compared to that of the earth. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Objects float through float. Mhm. Will they possess definite mass? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Since weight is measured as mass. Okay. Yeah. Mhm. Multiplied by gravitational acceleration. Mhm. Yeah. And in space. Yeah. Yeah. As gravitational acceleration. Mhm. Mhm. Is near zero. He waits also becomes yeah near zero.
