Approximately: 9.8 m/s2 towards the center of the Earth. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity
Surely it would be considerably less than that, given that the ISS is quite much farther away from the Earth. A brief calculation based on Newton's law of universal gravitation suggests something more akin to 8.7m/s2.
I highlighted the word you may have missed.
So you consider 8.7m/s
2 to be "approximately" 9.8m/s
2. In other words, an error margin of
12% is perfectly acceptable to you. Well, I suppose that tells us a lot about your understanding of
grade school physics. I shall update my sig to reflect that.
Y'know, I was concerned when the two results I lazily (and drunkenly, admittedly) provided were <0.5% off from one another. I guess that was completely unfounded, since I could have easily been over 24 times that off without causing any objections from you.
Keeping that in mind, saying that the acceleration applied to objects on the Earth is 11m/s^2 should necessarily be fine with you as well. The implications are just amazing.
Oh, and just to help you with your physics your forgot to specify the direction of your accelerations.
Yes, because that's definitely relevant when one's explicitly calculating magnitudes. Get the fuck out of here.
Hey Thork, pizzaplanet not only agrees with me that the ISS accelerates but provides a non-zero magnitude for it.
Yes, Thork is woefully wrong. So are you, having claimed that the ISS is
literally on the round Earth's surface (if it's not right now, then the acceleration of
9.8m/s^2 will bring it there very soon, and we should brace for this catastrophic event). It's shameful that you're not willing to acknowledge it. It would have been perfectly fine for you to admit that you mistakenly applied standard gravitation where it obviously shouldn't have been applied, but you lack the honesty to do so. This will be duly noted.
There is no shame in making a novice mistake, even if this very thread had provided you with all the detail you needed prior to making the mistake. You blatantly denying it is what makes it bad.
