The weight of a space shuttle is about 20.0 million newtons. what is the space shuttle's weight when it is traveling through outer space?

the answer is 0.0 newtons

Answer

when a space shuttle traveled through outer space that time it is far away from the gravity of any planet, star or moon. It means gravitational force acting on the space shuttle is zero(g=0)

We know that weight of space shuttle=

here m- mass of space shuttle

and g=gravity

but gravity in outer space= 0

therefore,

weight of space shuttle in outer space=0

i believe the answer is a.
