Why do astronauts appear weightless despite being near the Earth?

This podcast (audio) file explains how electric current can be obtained from the sun through the solar panel using direct illumination of the sun rays

Basics of gravity and the Law of Universal Gravitation.

In this online lesson you will learn how to compare measurements that have different units.

In this unit you will learn how to convert between common metric units of measure.

This unit is about how things move along a straight line or, more scientifically, how things move in one dimension. Examples of this would be the movement (motion) of cars along a straight road or of trains along straight railway tracks.

• Predict how current will change when resistance of the circuit is fixed and voltage is varied.
• Predict how current will change when voltage of the circuit is fixed and resistance is varied.
