Answer this question number 11
10. An astronaut aboard the Space Shuttle orbiting the Earth is considered to be weightless because: A) There is no force due to gravity acting on her B) There is a radially outward force acting on her that cancels the force due to gravity. She is in free fall around the Earth D) She is situated in such a position that the Earth's and the Moon's gravitational forces cancel each other. 11. If the Moon's mass could suddenly be cut in half without changing its radius of orbit, its new period of orbit in term of its current period of orbit, T, would be: T T A) B) 4 2 C) T D) 2T 12. A satellite is in a stable circular orbit around the earth. Another satellite in a stable circular orbit at a greater altitude must have: A) a smaller speed and a shorter period. B) a smaller speed and a longer period. C) a greater speed and a shorter period. Dla greater speed and a longer period.
