DO YOU KNOW: THE WEIGHTLESSNESS IN SPACE
Space travellers as well as objects in the spacecraft pppear to be floating. Why does this happen? though the spacecraft is a height from the surface of the earth, the value of 'g' there is zero(0).
In the space station the value of 'g' is only 11% less than it's value on the surface of the Earth. Thus, the height of a spacecraft is not the reason for their weightlessness. their weightlessness is caused by their being in the state of free fall.
Though the spacecraft is not falling on the earth because of its velocity along the orbit, the only force acting on it is gravitational force of the Earth and therefore it is in free fall. As the velocity of free fall does not depend on the properties of an object, the velocity of a free fall is the same for the spacecraft, the travelers and the objects in the craft. Thus, If a traveller released an object from her hand, it will remain stationary with respect to her and will appear to be weightlessness.
