explain why an astronaut in an orbiting satellite has a feeling of weightlessness.


Albert01: because they not experienced Earth-orbiting astronauts areweightless for the same reasons that riders of a free-falling amusement park ride or a free-falling elevator are weightless. They are weightless because there is no external contact force pushing or pulling upon their body. In each case, gravity is the only force acting upon their body.
Albert01: means they do not experience gravity or any other force
Anonymous: thank u so much
Albert01: it's ok
