The International Space Station maintains an orbital radius of about 4.34 km (from the center of the Earth), and is moving at 5,698 km/s through space. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of gravity at all locations along the ISS's orbital path? Hint: be sure to convert to the correct units. Do not include the units in your answer or the computer will mark the problem wrong.
