Answer:
B) Because the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.
Explanation:
Anything that is falling experiences an upward force on them. For example when a person is going down in a lift they will experience something that is pushing them upwards. This happens due to the fact that the total acceleration the body is feeling is less than the acceleration due to graviity.
The force on a body which is falling is

Where,
m = Mass of object
g = acceleration due to gravity
a = acceleration the object is experiencing.
a = g. So, the force becomes zero and the object experiences weightlessness.
Hence, the astronauts in the space station experience weightlessness due to fact that the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.
Answer:T=1316.21 N
Explanation:
The tension has two components: Vertical and Horizontal. The
horizontal component is ma, the vertical component is mg. Using
Pythagoras theorem, we can find the tension as:
T=((ma)^2 (mg)^2)^(1/2)
So
T=((129*2.84)^2 (129*9.8)^2)^(1/2)
T=1316.21 N
The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.
Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.
This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.
