The gravitational constant g is 9.807 m/s² at sea level, but it decreases as you go up in elevation.

[Technically this means that his/her mass is 80.0 kg.] Calculate this person's weight in N while floating around in the International Space Station (z = 355 km). If the Space Station were to suddenly stop in its orbit, what gravitational acceleration would the astronaut feel immediately after the satellite stopped moving?
