You’re “weightless “ in water

[Quasar44]

The next time your blubber body is floating in a pool - it’s hard to believe that you actually weigh zero !!
Even a blue whale weighs zero in the ocean !!
You have zero weight if you’re floating on water

Same Is true if you’re jumping out of an airplane or floating in outer space ( assuming your space craft is not accelerating)
Weird ??

More like dumb and inaccurate.

You have to walk in The Great Salt Lake, physics. You can walk all the way to Antelope Island with the bottom hundreds feet below.

When you are in water you are not weightless. You weigh far less, but not weightless. Next time you are swimming, exhale as much air as you can from your lungs. You will sink.

Nope. You still weigh exactly the same. Part of your weight is supported by the water. Put a container of water on a scale, and weigh it. Next, put a basketball in the water. It will float. Now check the weight on the scale. It will read the original weight of the container of water plus the weight of the basketball. The reason things seem weightless in space is because the force of gravity is reduced by your distance from a gravity producing mass.

No your weight is different on mars , venus , neptune

I am taking about in water
You’re the same density as water or less as you float ..you have zero weight

Your physical makeup doesn't change. Those planets are different sizes and densities, so gravity is stronger or weaker, depending on the density of the planet you are on. You aren't changing. Your environment is.

You ever been in a boat? You ever pick somethin up while you were in that boat? Was it weightless?

The reason things seem weightless in space is because the force of gravity is reduced by your distance from a gravity producing mass.

No, in orbit it is because one's surroundings are responding to acceleration at the same rate as oneself.

There are many reasons why the perceived weight might change, but none of them actually change the physical makeup of anything.

Well mass doesn't change, given.

Floating in water ... we have two forces acting of equal magnitude and opposite directions, gravity and buoyancy ... the sum of these two forces is zero ... thus we float ...

Sitting in our chair typing gibberish into the internet ... again two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction, gravity and the electostatic force holding the floor and chair in it's solid state-of-matter ... take away the chai ... [THUMP] ... OUCH ... we fall ... (that's going to leave a mark) ...

We usually associate the word "weight" with the force of gravity alone ... thus in an airplane, weight is the force straight down, lift is the force straight up, if the sum is zero, we have level flight ... if we weigh 150 lbs on shore, then we weigh 150 lbs in the water ... we float in water because we'll also have 150 lbs of buoyancy cancelling out our weight ...

Semantics? ...

Same Is true if you’re jumping out of an airplane or floating in outer space ( assuming your space craft is not accelerating)

The OP goes to far with these last claims ... falling out of an airplane clearly causes us to accelerate downward, this is weight fully expressed ... we endure the full force of gravity as we fall until electrostatic forces stop us, and quite suddenly ... in orbit, we are also falling to the Earth, again the full expression of weight, the difference is that our forward velocity is great enough that as we fall toward the Earth, the Earth curves away from us and the exact same rate ... this velocity is roughly 17,000 mph at 200 mile elevation (LEO) ...

The OP's first claim isn't necessarily wrong, just a confusing way to state it ... far more useful to split this effect between two forces, one set and the other designed ... the other two claims are very intuitive, the bathroom scale falling with us clearly shows 0 lbs ... but is in fact wrong ... weight is acting on us and our environment ... it's only seems "weightless" when compared to the falling environment ...

 

[ding]

I just compare densities but then I'm a donkey.

 

[james bond]

High school physics. You're not exactly weightless, but just feel weightless. It's the buoyancy force of the water pushing you up or Archimedes Principle.

You did a good explanation as the scale is falling with you so you cannot put any weight on the scale springs

And if you weighed yourself in free fall or floating on water ??
Zero pounds ??

 

[ReinyDays]

And if you weighed yourself in free fall or floating on water ??
Zero pounds ??

If the scale was on the ground, then it would briefly read 100 tons or so as our free fall ended ... then be a broken POS covered in goo ...

If the scale was floating in water ... then standing on it would read 150 lbs ... then drop as the scale and us sink ... until we float and the scale is at the bottom of the lake reading 0 ...

Somebody owes somebody two scales ...

I'm lying, closer to 190 lbs ...

There is no “ normal forces “ or acceleration acting on you in a free fall
You have zero weight
