Answer:
A. It makes astronauts weightless.
Explanation:
Gravity does not make astronauts feel weightless. Astronauts are weightless because they are orbiting at the same rate as their shuttle.
Although the force of gravity weakens as one moves away from the earth surface, it does not mean that this force is absent in orbit
- Gravitational force has a constant acceleration value near the earth surface which is commonly known to be 9.8m/s².
- It is a force of attraction tending to hold and bind bodies together so far they have mass.
- This force keeps every thing from escaping space-ward from the earth surface.
Answer:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction. Much like velocity, there are two kinds of acceleration: average and instantaneous. Average acceleration is determined over a "long" time interval.

Refer to the diagram shown below.
Given:
R = 6.37 x 10⁶ m, the radius of the earth
h = 3.58 x 10⁷ m, the height of the satellite above the earth's surface.
Therefore
R + h = 4.217 x 10⁷ m
In geosynchronous orbit, the period of rotation is 1 day.
Therefore the period is
T = (24 h)*(60 min/h)*(60 s/min) = 86400 s
The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(86400 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s
Part (a)
The tangential speed is
v = (R+h)*ω
= (4.217 x 10⁷ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)
= 3066.7 m/s
= 3.067 km/s
Part (b)
The centripetal acceleration is
a = v²/(R+h)
= (3066.7 m/s)²/(4.217 x 10⁷ m)
= 0.223 m/s²
Answers:
(a) The speed is 3.067 km/s
(b) The acceleration is 0.223 m/s²
Current = (voltage) / (resistance)
= (1.5 V) / (0.35 ohms)
= 4.28 Amperes.
==> The battery will not last long.
==> The ammeter is broken ... it's reading less than 0.25 Amps.
