In space we feel weightlessness because the earths gravity has less effect on us.The Earths gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earths surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the the shuttles orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

The net force must be zero
This is in accordance to Newton's first law, which states that any object in motion will remain in motion and any object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force is one where the net force is not zero. If no unbalanced force is applied to a moving object, it will keep moving forever. The reason that we do not observe this in our daily lives is due to friction acting as the unbalanced force.
(a)
consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.
m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg
v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s
v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s
ΔP = change in momentum of the ball
change in momentum of the ball is given as
ΔP = m (v - v₀)
inserting the above values
ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)
ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s
hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s
