If a spaceship had a flag, would it wave as the spaceship moved through space?
In: 407
The pull of Earth’s gravity in LEO is only slightly less than at the surface of Earth. LEO is just freefall + horizontal speed.
The flag would actually wave/move, put only from residual movements from acceleration/deceleration and vibration from the craft it was mounted on. If it the whole assembly was in free travel it would begin to rotate and then tumble, that would also put movement into the flag.
