Do spaceships travel around the earth faster going east to west rather than west to east?
Their direction has no bearing on their speed. Objects stay in orbit because of the attraction of earths gravity which has nothing to do with the earth's rotation on it's axis. If objects go too fast they fly off into space, too slow and they fall back to earth. Orbiting is a balancing act between the objects speed trying to fling it away from the earth and gravity trying to pull it down.
What are Geo - stationary orbit satellites?
Geo stationary satellites are man made objects sent up into space that orbit the Earth parallel with and in the plane of the equator. They are sent up into space so that their distance from the Earth and hence their orbital speed matches the speed with which the Earth rotates on its axis. This means that they maintain a constant "stationary" position over a point on the equator of the planet. This is useful for communications and earth observation purposes.
How do astronauts return to the earth. How do they propel their space shuttle back into the earth's atmosphere?
The thing that keeps objects in orbit around the Earth is their speed. It is a balancing act between the speed of the object trying to throw it out into space and gravity trying to pull it back toward Earth. If the object slows down gravity wins and it will fall back to Earth. So, to reenter they simply slow down. I wasn't sure I understood your question so if this was not what you were asking, ask again
What does rotation have to do with earth?
The Earth's rotation on its axis gives us our day. Gravitational pull from the sun and moon also produces tides which are believed to be a significant contributor to the development of life on earth; tidal forces also tend to slightly reduce the Earth's rotational speed and cause the moon to slowly recede from us.
Starship A weighs 2 tons and requires a speed of about 11 km s to escape from the Earth The escape velocity from Earth of Starship B that weighs 4 tons is?
Escape velocity is independent of an objects mass, therefore the escape velocity of the two starhips are identical.
Did Aristotle believe all objects fall at the same rate of speed?
No, this was Galileo's belief.
What was Aristotle's law of motion?
Aristotle believed v = k(F/R) where speed is proportional to motive force, and inversely proportional to resistance.
How was Aristotle's dynamic motion theory proven wrong?
Aristotle's dynamic motion theory was proven wrong by a man named Galileo. He tested Aristotle's theory by dropping a heavy object and a lighter object at the same time. The experiment proved Aristotle wrong because the result was that the two objects were falling at the same rate (speed).
What are the contribution of Aristotle in motion?
Aristotle's ideas were believed to be true from 500 BC to 1600 CE. That's about 1,100 years of false knowledge. What Aristotle taught, appeared to be correct because it seemed obvious, but not all things are obvious. Aristotle's view on motion seems to make sense. Unfortunately, it isn't correct. But because his theories appeared to make sense, they became popular and well accepted for a very long time. The key ideas that Aristotle tried to teach were: All motion on the Earth is linear . All motion in the heavens (outer space) is curved . The speed at which an object falls is directly related to the mass of an object . Motion could be considered in two main factions: natural and violent. Motion continues so long as there is only an applied motion to an object. Removing the motion stops the object. It would take a man named Galileo to start the wheels of change in this field of knowledge called physics. Galileo, unlike Aristotle, proved that motion to the Earth does not depend on the weight of an object. All objects fall to the ground at the same speed. So you see, the speed at which an object falls at has nothing to do with the mass of the object. All objects that are released from the same starting point reach the ground in the same time. Galileo proved Aristotle wrong. He proved the concept of what is called force and mass.
Do all objects fall to the earth at the same speed?
no depening on how heavy it is that's the speed it will go. information by wwtpody:)
What was Aristotle's theory of motion?
Aristotle beleived that motion involved a change from potentiality to actuality. He proposed that the speed at which two identically shaped objects sink or fall is directly proportional to their weights and inversely proportional to the density of the medium through which they move.
What is gravity's effect on motion?
Gravity pulls objects together and towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. Gravity will speed up objects falling towards the earth and slow down rising objects.
Time difference of objects at speed of light compared to time on earth?
If you observe a clock moving past you at the speed of light, it will appear to you to have stopped.
What did Aristotle contribute to the discovery of the speed of light?
Nothing.
What astronomical objects stay in a fixed position?
Satellite objects are set at speed and distance that its' orbit around earth equal earth rotation. It's centripetal acceleration must be just balance with gravity of the earth or v2/r=GM/r2.

What is the difference of an objects speed and an objects volocity?
when you know both speed and direction of an objects motion you know the velocity of an object.
