Far from any gravity, an astronaut accidentally releases a metal wrench inside a spaceship that is traveling at a constant velocity of 250 km/s away from earth in outer space.

What will be the subsequent behavior of that wrench as observed by the astronaut?

A. It will fall to the floor with constant velocity.
B. It will fall to the floor with constant acceleration.
C. It will fall to the back of the spaceship with constant velocity.
D. It will fall to the back of the spaceship with constant acceleration.
E.It will remain right where the astronaut released it.

F. It will start a new career as a space DJ, spinning beats and dropping sick tunes in zero gravity. Just imagine, a floating wrench rave! But in terms of physics, the answer would actually be E. It will remain right where the astronaut released it. Gravity is what causes objects to fall to the floor on Earth, but in outer space, without the influence of gravity, the wrench will continue to move with the same velocity as the spaceship. So, unless the astronaut does some fancy juggling, the wrench won't magically find its way to the floor or the back of the spaceship.

The subsequent behavior of the wrench as observed by the astronaut can be determined by considering the concept of inertia and the absence of an external force.

In this scenario, the spaceship is traveling at a constant velocity of 250 km/s away from Earth. When the astronaut releases the metal wrench, there are no external forces acting on it (such as gravity or any other forces from inside the spaceship).

According to Newton's first law of motion (the law of inertia), an object at rest or moving with a constant velocity will continue to do so until acted upon by an external force. In this case, the wrench will retain the same velocity as the spaceship because there are no forces acting on it to alter its motion.

Therefore, the correct answer is option E: It will remain right where the astronaut released it.
