The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.
In our problem, the work done is
and the distance through which the force is applied is
, so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
<h2>Answer: The astronauts are falling at the same rate as the space shuttle as it orbits around earth</h2>
The astronauts seem to float because they are in free fall just like the spacecraft.
However, although they are constantly falling on the Earth, they do not fall because the ship orbits at a sufficient speed (in the same direction of rotation of the Earth) so that the centrifugal force is balanced with the Earth's gravitational pull.
In other words:
The spaccraft and the astronauts are in free fall but the Earth's surface will never be reached as long as they does not decrease the speed.
Then, as they accelerate toward Earth (regardless of their mass), it curves beneath them and never comes close.
That's why astronauts, having the same acceleration as the spacecraft, feel weightless and see themselves floating.

Answer:
approximately 5.8 seconds
Explanation:
if you where to time how fast a rock would fall 12 meters it would approximately be 5.8 seconds
