Weight and Mass How much you are being pulled down vs. how much matter you have in your body.

Weight The gravitational force exerted on an object is called the object’s weight. Weight and mass are not the same Weight is a force and mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains. Weight and mass are related. Weight increases as mass increases.

Weight and Gravity The weight of an object usually is the gravitational force between the object and Earth. The weight of an object can change, depending on the gravitational force on the object.

How to calculate weight Because the weight of an object on Earth is equal to the force of Earth’s gravity on the object, weight can be calculated from this equation:

Weight on other planets and moon The table shows how various weights on Earth would be different on the Moon and some of the planets.

Weightlessness You’ve probably seen pictures of astronauts and equipment floating inside the space shuttle. They are said to be experiencing the sensation of weightlessness.

Astronauts However, for a typical mission, the shuttle orbits Earth at an altitude of about 400 km According to the law of universal gravitation, at 400-km altitude the force of Earth’s gravity is about 90 percent as strong as it is at Earth’s surface. So an astronaut with a mass of 80 kg still would weigh about 700 N in orbit, compared with a weight of about 780 N at Earth’s surface.

Free Fall A space shuttle in orbit is in free fall, but it is falling around Earth, rather than straight downward. Everything in the orbiting space shuttle is falling around Earth at the same rate. Objects in the shuttle seem to be floating because they are all falling with the same acceleration.
