How are the satellites able to float in mid air?
they do not float. They are spinning with a certain velocity. First of all the satellites when launched are propelled through air at a speed equal or greater than its escape velocity.They then have a certain linear velocity but are able to maintain a lunar synchronous orbit because of the earth's gravity.
A rocket that moves upward from earth's surface at escape velocity will?
Escape the earth's gravitational pull and continue out into space. However, a rocket does not need to be launched at the escape velocity as it can continue to accelerate as it climbs. A gun projectile would need to be fired with the escape velocity. In a perfect system with only the projectile and the Earth: If the projectile is fired with the exact escape velocity it will travel to infinity away from the Earth. Upon reaching infinitely far away from Earth the projectile would have zero velocity. All of its kinetic energy (movement) would be transferred to potential energy.
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit around earth is called?
Orbital velocity, or Close orbital velocity.
Is orbital velocity the velocity a rocket must reach to fly off into space?
No.Orbital Velocity is the velocity required by a body to achieve a circular orbit around its primary.Escape velocity is the minimum velocity needed to escape a gravitational field
Why does the space station travel so fast?
The International Space Station is in a low Earth orbit between 199 mi and 216 mi. To maintain this orbit, the space station has to travel at a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour. If a spacecraft was launched sideways off the Earth with a low velocity, gravity would pull it towards the ground. If the spacecraft was launched at a faster velocity, it would hit the ground at a farther distance because the ground would be curving away at a faster rate. However if the spacecraft was launched fast enough, the Earth would constantly curve away as the spacecraft falls indefinitely. The spacecraft would be in orbit. The speed required for the International Space Station to orbit is 17,500 miles per hour. The higher an object's orbit is, the slower it has to travel to maintain that orbit.
How aerospace engineers use the quadratic equation?
The quadratic equation is used to find the intercepts of a function (F(x)=x^(2*n), n being an even number) along its primary axis (typically the x axis). Many equations follow this form. The information given by the quadratic equation depends on what your function is pertaining to. If say you have a velocity vs time graph, when the function crosses the xaxis your particle has changed from a positive velocity to a negative velocity. This information can be useful to determine the accompanying behavior of your position. The quadratic equation is simply a tool to find intercepts of a function.
Real life application of a quadratic function?
I think its the dropping of a golf ball off a building! This is because the formula for velocity when something is dropped is a quadratic formula, that is of degree 2.
What is its velocity at the highest point of a ball vertically upwards?
In that case, the velocity is zero.
How do you solve this A person standing close to the edge on top of a 288-foot building throws a baseball vertically upward. The quadratic function s(t) -16t2 64t 288 models the ball's height above th?
The question got cut off. You simply work with the quadratic equation. For example, if you want to know when it gets to the ground, you set the position, which is s(t), equal to -288, and solve the resulting equation for "t". You can use the quadratic formula to do that.
How a displacement of a vertically thrown ball varies with time?
It is converted to the ball's velocity or it is known as its velocity because displacement changes with time is known as velocity.
Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?
Acceleration only depends on the direction of the applied force and is independent of the velocity of the object, so gravity is always pointing down.

What is the function of zero velocity valve in pipeline?
To reduce the velocity
How velocity of a vertically thrown ball varies with time?
The ball is affected by the force of the earth's gravity.

Why satellites launched in east side?
Satellites are launched in east direction to use earths rotational velocity and to reduce launch energy.
