How to measure weight in space

avatar

Habe ein cooles Video der Canadian Space Agency entdeckt, wie man im Weltall / auf der ISS sein Gewicht misst.

Normale Waagen der Erdbewohner funktionieren im Weltall ja nicht, da sie die natürliche Gravitation der Erde benötigen, um das Gewicht zu messen.

Der Trick unter Zero- bzw. Micro-Gravity ist, die Masse, die man messen möchte, in Schwingung zu versetzen und dann die Trägheit festzustellen, in dem man die Frequenz der Schwingung misst. Je geringer die Frequenz, desto größer die Masse bei konstanter Energieeinwirkung.

Ziemlich coole Idee und sieht auch sehr witzig aus.

Was sagt ihr dazu?

I found a cool video from the Canadian Space Agency on how to measure one's weight in space / on the ISS.

Normal scales of the earth inhabitants do not work in space, because they need the natural gravity of the earth to measure the weight.

The trick in zero or micro gravity is to swing the mass you want to measure and then determine the inertia by measuring the frequency of the swing. The lower the frequency, the greater the mass at constant energy.

Pretty cool idea and also looks very funny.

What do you think?
