Question

An astronaut inside a small spaceship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity. If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size, can he hope to detect gravity?

Answer 1

Inside a little spaceship orbitting around the earth the estimation of increasing speed because of gravity g, can be considered as consistent and consequently space explorer feels weightless.

On the off chance that the space station orbitting around the earth has an extensive size, with the end goal that variety in g matters all things considered space explorer inside the spaceship will encounter gravitational power and henceforth can identify gravity.

Answer 2

Hii dear,

◆ Answer- Yes

◆ Explanation-
- Acceleration due to gravity felt by a body depends on weight of the spaceship itself.
- For small spaceship, variation in gravitational acceleration is so small that it seems constant.
- For spaceship large enough, change in acceleration is significant ao astronaut feels it.

Hope that was useful.
