Question

astronauts on board the international space station interact and move in close quarters. in moving from one area to another, astronauts bounce around, seemingly weightless. select the statement(s) that accurately describes this scenario. gravity in space is less compared to earth. the astronauts have a different mass and weight in space than on earth. the astronauts have special floating suits. spacecraft and astronauts are both orbiting earth. spacecraft and astronauts are moving forward (and downward) at equal rates.

Explanation:

Gravity in space is weaker than on Earth. Mass is constant but weight depends on gravitational force. Astronauts don't have special floating suits for this; they seem weightless due to orbiting Earth. The spacecraft and astronauts are in orbit around Earth and move forward and downward at equal - rates in a sense related to orbital motion.

Answer:

A. Gravity in space is less compared to Earth.
D. Spacecraft and astronauts are both orbiting Earth.
E. Spacecraft and astronauts are moving forward (and downward) at equal rates.
