Question

select all that apply
select the situations in which the weight of the person is zero.
□ a skydiver
□ an astronaut exactly between two identical asteroids
□ an astronaut far from any planets, moons, or asteroids
□ an astronaut aboard the international space station

Explanation:

Step1: Recall weight formula

Weight $W = mg$, where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Weight is zero when $g = 0$.

Step2: Analyze skydiver

A skydiver is still under Earth - s gravitational pull, so $g
eq0$ and $W
eq0$.

Step3: Analyze astronaut between two identical asteroids

The gravitational forces from the two asteroids may cancel out at the mid - point, resulting in a net gravitational acceleration $g = 0$ and $W = 0$.

Step4: Analyze astronaut far from celestial bodies

Far from any planets, moons, or asteroids, the gravitational field is negligible, $g\approx0$ and $W\approx0$.

Step5: Analyze astronaut on ISS

The astronaut on the International Space Station is still under Earth's gravitational influence, $g
eq0$ and $W
eq0$.

Answer:

An astronaut exactly between two identical asteroids, An astronaut far from any planets, moons, or asteroids
