Name an everyday activity that would be difficult-but possible-to do in a spacecraft's microgravity environment?
float in mid-air. To do this without microgravity (which is a misnomer by the way) you would have to jump really high and probably hurt yourself.
How might microgravity environments be created?
if you toss a coin in the air you are subjecting that coin to microgravity. When an experiment is in a NASA Glenn Research Center drop tower, the experiment is subjected to microgravity for about 2 or 5 seconds. When experiments and/or people are flown on a parabolic-trajectory aircraft, they experience a microgravity environment also. When astronauts, cosmonauts, and experiments are on the Int'l Space Station, they also experience a microgravity environment. All three effects are due to a condition of free fall, where the only significant force upon the person or experiment is gravity. The only real difference between the three conditions is the horizontal velocity and altitude.
What are some of the challenges astronauts face living in microgravity environment?
they lose muscle tone unfortunately they also become disorientated when they are first in space as they have a lack of orientation

What would happen to an apple if you let go of it in a microgravity environment?
If your "microgravity environment" is the inside of, say, an orbiting space station then the apple would very slowly move aft (retrograde) and "up" (towards the interior surface furthest from the Earth) as the station's orbit slowly decayed due to friction with the atmosphere. If it were an atmosphere-less planet or celestial body, like the moon, and you let go of an object which was previously in a stable orbit it would stay in a stable orbit. Keep in mind that an orbit is a combination of tangential velocity and "falling" towards the planet at the appropriately balanced ratio to keep a constant distance from the orbited body. For an arbitrary microgravity environment, the apple would continue with whatever relative velocity it had when you let go of it.
What are the release dates for Microgravity - 2006?
Microgravity - 2006 was released on: USA: 4 February 2006 (Science Fiction Short Film Festival)
How fast can you walk during a spacewalk?
A spacewalk is kind of a misnomer, no one is actually walking. In a microgravity environment, walking is impossible/ pointless. A better term to use is "extravehicular activity" or EVA.
What is almost zero gravity called?
microgravity
