The acceleration due to gravity on the asteroid is 0.2 m/s2. What is the weight of a 82 kg Asteroid miner on the asteroid? A mining project has been set up on an asteroid. You have been tasked to figure out the gravitational force on the mining station. Your mining station with a mass of 3 X 104 kg is orbiting the asteroid. The mass of the asteroid was determined to be 6 X 108 kg. Your mining station is 2000 m away from the center of the asteroid. The universal gravitation constant G is 6.67 × 10–11

Explanation:

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
