Question

Weightlessness experienced while orbiting the earth in a spaceship is a result of zero gravity.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Astronauts while traveling in space experience weightlessness because there is no gravity in the space. Since the astronauts orbit around the earth with the same centripetal acceleration where a=g so the astronauts do not feel any weight inside the spacecraft.

Hence, the given statement is True
