The International Space Station (ISS) is in circular orbit 400 km above Earth’s surface. An astronaut appears to be apparently weightless; however, he still has 88% of his weight. Justify and provide a mathematical explanation.
Explain in one paragraph the relationships between the force of gravity and the other variables.
What effect does the mass of the satellite have on the speed of the satellite’s orbit? Without citing equations, briefly explain why this result is consistent with your understanding of gravitational force and circular motion.
Thank you
