The highest satellite are about 5.6 earth radii from the centre of the earth .this is about a tenth of the way to the moon. what would be the force of gravity be on a50 kg astronaut at this location?
The force of gravity on Earth for this astronaut is 50 x 9.8 = 490 Newton. Divide this by 5.6 squared, and you get 15.6 Newton.Note that the astronaut will not feel this force, because he is in free fall; any space capsule he is in will accelerate towards Earth with the same speed as him, and he will feel weightless.
Why a astronaut and not an astronaut?
"An astronaut" is the correct form, not "a astronaut." "an" is used instead of "a" whenever the word it modifies begins with a vowel.
What is the singular possessive of astronaut?
Singular = astronaut, singular possessive = astronaut's. Plural = astronauts, plural possessive = astronauts'.
What was the second active satellite in space?
Sputnik 2, launched November 3, 1957. Sputnik 1 was the first man-made Earth satellite, and Sputnik 2 was the second. Sputnik 2 carried a dog, Laika, as the first astronaut. The dog died a few hours after launch. The USA did not launch its first satellite, Explorer 1, until about 3 months later, on January 31, 1958.
Why does an astronaut weigh less on the moon?
The astronaut's mass is the same on the moon but the gravitational force applied on the astronaut is weaker thus the astronaut appears to weigh less.
What will happen when astronaut drop the spoon in a satellite?
it will continue to follow the motion of the satellite
How can one make a spoon dropped from a satellite revolving around the earth land on earth?
If you have a lot of time, and a huge amount of expendable cash, you can place a reasonably massive satellite in orbit under the spoon. Over time the satellite's gravity will pull the spoon's orbit lower and lower. Eventually the spoon's orbit will decay and it will drop toward earth. Just wait. It will end up on Earth eventually. The satellite is already in orbit and will eventually fall into the atmosphere. Anything that falls off the satellite is going to eventually go 'down' to Earth.
What are dropped biscuits?
Dropped biscuits are slightly more moist than biscuits that are rolled out and cut, and they are just dropped from the spoon on to the baking sheet.
Who was first human satellite?
The Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human being to orbit the Earth in an artificial satellite on April 12, 1961.
A freely floating Astronaut pushes another freely floating astronaut in an artificial satellite What is the force applied by the 1st astronaut on the 2nd one?
The force applied would be zero as a freely floating astronaut feels weightlessness as the gravitational force acting on him is zero.
What happens when any object is dropped from a satellite?
It will stay with the satellite for a while, in a similar orbit. If the satellite is in low orbit, gradually the object will get away from the satellite, due to "tidal forces" from Earth.
Are astronauts really weightless in orbit why not?
because both the astronaut and the satellite is attracted towards the center of the earth
What happens when any object is dropped from a geo stationary satellite?
it revolves in the same orbit
How do you make a satellite in Doodle God 2?
human + rocket = astronaut (only works if you have 'comandments')
When did sally k ride and canaddian astronaut mark gameeau help diploy the earth radation budget satellite?
When did Sally Ride and Canadian astronaut Marc Gameau help deploy the earth Radiation Budget Satelite?
If an astronaut releases a ball on the moon would it go up?
No. as long as there is any amount of gravity. a ball can never go higher then where it was dropped if no force is added.
How do you say astronaut in German?
Astronaut is spelled astronaut in German.
