Question

What will happen if you place a cup on a table in space?

• A. It will remain stationary at its position
• B. It will start vibrating and break eventually
• C. It will rise up as soon as you remove your hand from the cup
• D. It will slide sideways on the table

Answer 1

The correct option is C It will rise up as soon as you remove your hand from the cup

There is no gravity is space which means no gravitational force acts on the object kept in space. Thus as soon as we remove our hand from the cup, no gravitational force acts on it to keep it stationary on the table and hence the cup rises up.

The correct answer is option C.
