When an astronaut experiences weightlessness in deep outer space, is she at equilibrium?
She may be stationary with respect to her spaceship, and at the same time traveling at a high speed with respect to the stars. Which law of motion offers explanation to this situation?
Is she also massless?
consider particle A of mass mA being somewhere between particle B of mass mB=2000 kg and particleS of mass mc=1000 kg, at just the right distance so that gravitational attraction to particle B and gravitational attraction to particle C are equal. Is this location nearer Particle B or nearer particle C?
