A spinning object does not create gravity. But it does create centripetal forces (also previously known as centrifugal forces) whereby an object traveling the path of a spinning object is propelled toward the outside wall of the spinning object, due to the force angled to the rotation of the circle counteracting the force of the smaller object traveling tangent to its path. The strength of this force is often measured in "G's". A "G" is equivalent to the force of gravity, ie: 2 "G" is equivalent to twice the force of gravity.

How would an astronaut aboard a space shuttle go about dropping an object down to earth?

The astronaut would release the object outside of the space shuttle and let it fall towards Earth due to gravity. The object would follow a trajectory back to Earth's surface without the need for further propulsion.

Why do engineers designing satellite and space probes need to understand gravity?

For the design of the probe an understanding of gravity is not required. However, to get the probe into space and into a stable orbit round a chosen body an understanding of gravity is required. Thus it is the launch vehicle design where an understanding of gravity is needed.

To reach outer space rockets must escape what force?

To reach outer space, rockets must escape the force of gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of a mass, such as the Earth. Rockets need to generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and reach escape velocity to enter outer space.


Why is gravity something that you need to have to live?

Without gravity we could not stay on the surface of the Earth -- but that wouldn't matter, because gravity is what keeps the Earth from flying apart.


Is it easy to do regular chores in spaceship?

no nope, because every chores need gravity. in outer space there's no gravity, so it's not easy.
