True or False (Explain if False)

1. NASA astronauts, Kjell Lindgren, Pilot Bob Hines, Jessica Watkins, and Samantha Cristoforetti, are currently in the International Space Station, and experience apparent weightlessness because they and the station are always in free fall towards the center of the Earth.

2. One of the 82 moons of Saturn is named Dione. The pull of Dione on Saturn is lesser than that of Saturn on Dione.

3. Titan, one of Saturn's moons, does not crash into the surface of Saturn because it is beyond the main pull of the planet’s gravity.

4. Patrick pushes a heavy refrigerator down the Barrens at a constant velocity. Of the four forces (friction, gravity, normal force, and pushing force) acting on the bicycle, the greatest amount of work is exerted by his pushing force.

5. Tethys, one of Saturn's moons, is in a constant free fall towards Saturn.
