Question

The gravitational force between two books sitting on a table does not cause them to accelerate toward each other because of frictional forces. If these same two books were floating near each other in deep space, they would still not appear to accelerate toward each other. Why not?

An astronaut is doing a spacewalk on a long tether at 0.1 km away from the International Space Station (mass of 420,000 kg). His spacesuit includes a very sensitive gravitometer, which indicates the gravitational force acting on the astronaut and his spacesuit from the ISS is 7.0 E−7 N. What is the mass of the astronaut in his suit if G = 6.67 E−11 N*m2/kg2? 1. 150 kg 2. 200 kg 3. 250 kg 4. 300 kg
