What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.

Why do astronauts appear weightless despite being near the Earth?

This video explains how to calculate the perimeter of various 2D shapes.

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.

This is a short tutorial on how to define and measure the perimeter of shapes

By the end of this course you will be able to:

1. Define the terms perimeter and area
2. Find the perimeter of any polygon
3. Find the perimeter and area of a trapezium, parallelogram, rectangle and square
4. Find the area of a triangle
5. Find the perimeter and area of a circle

Outcomes

In this course you will learn about:

• The concept of pressure
• Pressure due to solids
• Pressure in liquids
• Atmospheric pressure

Speed necessary for the space station to stay in orbit.

Viewing g as the value of Earth's gravitational field near the surface rather than the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface for an object in freefall.
