Question

If you weigh 38 kilograms on your bathroom scale, your weight in space will be

Answer 1

Answer:

less than 38 kilograms

Explanation:

The weight of a body when measured on earth is the resultant force the ground applies to balance the force due to mass of the body and acceleration due to gravity.

Because your weight depends on the gravity you would weigh less on a planetary body with less gravity than on Earth, and in space you would weigh almost nothing at all. So the answer is less than 38 kg

It is measured in Newtons (N). The weight of a person changes with varying gravity. As such the mass of the body varies through the universe irrespective of the gravity and other external factor. It is measured in kilograms.
