b) Interplanetary space where there are no nearby planetary objects?​

Answer :

Answer:

On Earth: mass = 115 kg; weight = 1127 N

Interspace:  mass = 115 kg; weight = 0 N

Explanation:

On Earth, his mass is 115 kg, and his weight is 115 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 1127 N.

On interspace , his mass is still 115 kg,  and his weight is Zero Newtons = 0 N

(a) The mass of space traveler on Earth is 115 kg and its weight is 1127 N.

(b)  The mass of traveler at interplanetary space is 115 kg and its weight is 0 N.

Given data:

The mass of space traveler outside the Earth is, m = 115 kg.

(a)

Since, the mass of any object is always remains constant. In other words, there is no way to destroy mass and hence mass of traveler on Earth will be same as 115 kg.

While the weight will be,

W = mg

W = 115(9.8)

W = 1127 N

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of space traveler on Earth is 115 kg and its weight is 1127 N.

(b)

On interspace , his mass is still 115 kg,  and his weight is Zero Newtons. This is because the gravity at interplanetary space is zero.

That is,

W = mg

W = 115 (0)

W = 0 N

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of traveler at interplanetary space is 115 kg and its weight is 0 N.
