Microgravity

Content Provider PBS LearningMedia
Copyright Year 2004
Description Who doesn't love roller-coasters? Tianna and Sammy could spend days on them! They love the way their stomachs jump into their throats, making it feel like they're floating. That feeling is weightlessness, which is kind of like what astronauts feel in space. Astronauts call it microgravity, because during the fall, they feel only a tiny amount of gravity's pull. Tianna and Sammy wondered: how do ordinary things behave in microgravity?

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
