Wednesday's Class

On Wednesday, we talked about gravity in Space. It's like constantly being in a falling elevator, because in a falling elevator, your weight is less. If you were on a scale and the elevator was accelerating downward, then you wouldn't weigh anything because you would be floating right above the scale. You would still have mass though. In deep space, there is no force at all, not even gravity whereas space as we know it has a lot of gravity coming from earth. In deep space, the free body diagram would just be a dot because you wouldn't be near any objects that could interact and put force on you.
