The force of gravity between the astronaut and the space shuttle does not change as the astronaut moves away from the space shuttle. Gravity acts as an attractive force between the two objects, and its strength depends on the mass of the astronaut and the space shuttle and the distance between them. As long as the distance between the two objects does not change significantly, the force of gravity remains the same. Therefore, the force of gravity does not go up or down for either the astronaut or the space shuttle.
The force of gravity between the astronaut and the space shuttle does not change. Gravity is a force of attraction that always exists between two objects with mass. In this case, both the astronaut and the space shuttle have mass, so they will always exert a gravitational force on each other.
However, when the astronaut moves away from the space shuttle during a spacewalk, the strength of the gravitational force may appear to decrease. This is because the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. As the astronaut moves further away from the space shuttle, the distance between them increases, and therefore the force of gravity between them appears to decrease.
So, to answer the question, the force of gravity between the astronaut and the space shuttle remains the same.
