Gravity, mainly that of the moon.
Gravity on the Moon is a lot less than on Earth but it works in the same way.

Will an astronaut on a space walk outside the space station quickly float away from the station unless they have a tether holding them to the station or constantly fire thrusters on their space suit?
False. The astronaut will stay in orbit with the space station on less some force acts on him or her.
What are the forces that act on an astronaut in outer space?
Work is done whenever the given two conditions are satisfied: (i) A force acts on the body. (ii) There is a displacement of the body by the application of force in or opposite to the direction of force. If the direction of force is perpendicular to displacement, then the work done is zero. If the satellite is in a perfectly circular orbit, then the force of gravity is always perpendicular to the satellite's velocity, and gravity never does any work. If the orbit isn't circular, then there is a radial component of velocity at most points in the orbit, and some gravitational acceleration, work, etc., but those are exactly matched by negative values at other points in the orbit, and the total over a complete orbit is zero again.
What ever happened to Hanna Hall of Forrest Gump?
She still acts.
Differentiate between contact and long-range forces?
A contact force is a push or a pull that is directly touching an object A long range force is a push or a pull that acts through a distance
What are the natural forces that affect running?
Drag. This is the force which acts against a runner and is the resultant force of the runner pushing against the particles in the air. Drag is affected by the mass and surface area of the runner. Friction is another force which can affect running.
How much support force acts on a 200-N girl standing on a weighing scale?
200n
Which exerts greater pressure on the floor standing flat footed or standing on tiptoe?
on tiptoe, because the force acts over less area
Which exerts greater pressure on the floor- standing flat footed or standing on tiptoe?
on tiptoe, because the force acts over less area
Which exerts greater pressure on the floor standing flat-footed or standing on tiptoe?
on tiptoe, because the force acts over less area
Will an astronaut on a space walk outside the space station quickly float away from the station unless they have a tether holding them to the station or constantly fire thrusters on their space suit?
False. The astronaut will stay in orbit with the space station on less some force acts on him or her.
How does a standing fan work?
With an electric motor. A force acts on an electric current when it runs through a magnetic field (called the Lorentz Force) see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor
What is the force that acts against gravity?
The force that acts against gravity is the buoyant force.
How does force cause motion?
An object is stationary until a force acts on it, then when a force acts on it it will keep going the same direction and speed forever, until another force acts on it.
What is the force that acts on subatomic particles?
I think it might be electrostatic force! This is the force that acts between the particles!
What is Newton's first law of motion What term summarizes this law?
newton's first law of motion is; objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it. A term that summarizes this law could be that when a wheelchair is standing still, it is not in motion, the only way that the wheelchair can move is unless an outside force (person) acts on it, causing the wheel chair to change distance.
Are the alien and sediction acts still used today?
i think aliens are true an can come down any time they want to but they choose not too. haha we should find them
Which type of force acts when tiny bits of paper are pulled by a rubber comb?
The force which acts is the electrostatic force.
