Presumably the most important force on an accelerating space shuttle is the force of the rocket engines (thrusters). Certainly other forces are present, including gravity and air friction.

The amount of gravitational force that acts on the space shuttle while in orbit is?
almost as much as the shuttle's weight on Earth's surface
What happens once the space shuttle goes to space?
When a shuttle reaches outer space it can turn off its thrusters because the law of inertia states that an object in motion can stay at motion until a force acts upon it. And it can just fly without wasting gas/fuel.
How does a space shuttle resist gravity when coming back to Earth?
Friction with the atmosphere counter acts the pull of gravity.
What force acts on space time?
Certainly it appears that gravity does so.
How does centripetal force act on a satellite in orbit?
force is mass x acceleration which for orbit is mass (m) x velocity squared (v^2)divided by radius (R) above center of earth. Since there is also acceleration of gravity (g) then g = v^2/R. You can now calculate velocity of satellite to stay in orbit - it is about 17.500 mph

What happens to an object when a net force acts upon it?
It accelerates.
When a nonzero net force acts on an object the force?
changes the motion of the object
What happens to a hickey punk when a net force of 5 N acts on it?
it accelerates

The space around a magnet where the force of the magnet acts is a?
electromagnet
What object do not accelerate unless force act on them and how similar is this to the first law of motion?
Nothing accelerates unless/until force acts on it.This is exactly Newton's first law of motion.
What happens if an unbalanced force is applied to an object?
When an unbalanced force acts on an object, the weight of the object decreases.
What force acts on space time?
Certainly it appears that gravity does so.
