1.	An astronaut of mass m is working on a satellite orbiting the earth at a distance h from the earth.s surface. The radius of the earth is · R, while its mass is M. The gravitational pull F_G on the astronaut is :
Answer» Zero since astronaut FEELS WEIGHTLESS `(GMm)/((R+h)^2)lt F_(G) lt (GMm)/R^2` `F_(G) = (GMm)/((R+h)^2)` `0 lt F_(G) lt (GMm)/R^2` Answer :C
