Question
select all the correct answers. an unmanned spacecraft leaves for venus. which statements about the spacecrafts journey are true? the weight of the spacecraft keeps changing. the mass of the spacecraft keeps changing. the weight of the spacecraft remains the same. the mass of the spacecraft remains the same. the gravitational pull on the spacecraft remains the same.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is constant regardless of location. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and since the gravitational pull changes as the spacecraft moves away from Earth and towards Venus, the weight changes. The gravitational pull also changes as the distance from celestial - bodies changes.
