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

In this unit you will learn how to identify equivalent metric units of capacity.

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.

Short tutorial on trigonometry

Outcomes

By the end of this course you will:

• Be able to define capacity and volume
• Be familiar with the metric units of capacity
• Be able to convert from one unit of capacity to another

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.

What would fall faster on the moon, a brick or a feather?
