1. What is escape velocity? 2. What does it mean to have a binding energy? 3. Under what conditions would you have to achieve in order for a satellite to escape the gravitational field of another body? 4. Why don't astronauts feel the effects of gravity while in orbit around Earth? 5. Why don't we feel the physical attraction from people around us, if there is a force of gravity between every obiect containing mass?
