Question

How does weight of a spacecraft changes as it travels from the earth to moon

Open in App
Solution

The spacecraft weight of aa spacecraft can be experienced on Earth because you've got the ground pushing up against the spacecraft .

The experience of weight is through that counteracting force of the ground pushing back on it as it is pushing down on the ground, because gravity is pulling it down. If you're traveling towards moon it doesn't feel weight because you have the ground pushing up against it .
