the astronaut shows her brother a model of the satellite - earth system, as shown in figure 1. drag the directional arrows next to the space station at each position to indicate the direction of earth’s gravitational force on the space station during its orbit. each arrow may be used more than once. figure 1 space station earth not to scale
Answer
# Answer:
For all positions of the space - station around the Earth, the arrows should point towards the center of the Earth. So, if we assume the top - most position of the space - station, the arrow should point downwards; for the right - most position, the arrow should point leftwards; for the bottom - most position, the arrow should point upwards; for the left - most position, the arrow should point rightwards.
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall gravitational force property
Gravitational force is attractive.
## Step2: Identify force direction
It acts towards the source mass (Earth).
