Why do astronauts appear weightless despite being near the Earth?

Basics of gravity and the Law of Universal Gravitation.

This unit is about how things move along a straight line or, more scientifically, how things move in one dimension. Examples of this would be the movement (motion) of cars along a straight road or of trains along straight railway tracks.

Speed necessary for the space station to stay in orbit.

Use two methods to find the sum of mixed numbers: improper fractions and mixed numbers
