Do astronauts in orbit around the earth experience the same gravitational force as they do on ground?

Yes, but they do not "feel" gravity, because they are falling - "free fall" in orbit around the Earth.

What are devices that astronauts reproduce on the ground the actual conditions?
condoms
The amount of gravitational potential energy that an object has depends on its weight and?
Weight, height above the ground level (or other reference level), the strength of the gravitational field.Weight, height above the ground level (or other reference level), the strength of the gravitational field.Weight, height above the ground level (or other reference level), the strength of the gravitational field.Weight, height above the ground level (or other reference level), the strength of the gravitational field.
Importance of gravitational force?
Gravitational force is important to us as well as air close to the ground.
What is an example of gravitational potential?
An apple hanging from a tree has gravitational potential energy...anything which could fall to the ground has gravitational potential energy
Which has more gravitational potential a bird on the ground or the same bird in a tree?
a bird on the ground
How are gravitational waves are caused?
by the earthquakes under the ground.
What does a gigantic water tank have to do with astronaut training?
It allows astronauts to get used to maneuvering in a large bulky suit in an environment that has them floating around instead standing on firm ground.
If you lift an apple from the ground to some point above ground the gravitational potential energy in the system increases the potential energy is stored where?
the gravitational field between earth and the apple
Which has more gravitational potential energy.a bird on the ground or the same bird in a tree?
a bird on the ground
How can the moon have a gravitational pull?
All objects, big and small, exert gravitational pull. The moon, being very large, produces a large enough pull to affect the nearby Earth. The Earth also has a gravitational pull which holds the moon in orbit around us and keeps everyone on the ground.
What is the gravitational potential energy equation?
Gravitational potential energy = Mass x gravity x heightTherefore, an object at ground level is 0 meters above the ground, thus having no potential energy.PE = mghm = massg = gravitational accelerationh = height
Who discovered zero gravity?
Zero gravity used to be more popularly called weightlessness. It can be experience for short periods on some fair ground rides and during airplane acrobatics. However it was first experienced for longer periods by the first astronauts. It was not so much discovered as they were expecting to experience it.
