Answer:

Explanation:

The sense of weightlessness in orbiting satellite is because of the lack of any contact-forces. ... Thus, both the astronaut and the satellite have the same value of g, which is again equal to the centripetal acceleration of the satellite. These two neutralize each other, causing everything to appear weightless.
