How long would it take for space travelers to get to Jupiter from Earth if the average speed of the spacecraft is 55000 mph?
exactly about ten minutes.. considering he is traveling of a speed of 55000.
For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?
1 second
How long does it take to travel to Uranus from Earth by rocket?
It depends upon the speed of travel. The fastest current spacecraft (in 2012) would take about 5 years to travel there directly, provided Uranus was at its closest distance to Earth (the distance can vary from about 2.6 billion kilometers to 3.1 billion kilometers).
How long does it take to travel from space to earth?
It depends on how fast the spacecraft goes. With current technology, maybe around 6 months (with an average speed of 35,000 km/h or so). But, if you were to travel 40,000 kilometers for a spacecraft, it would only take about 16 days.
Can you go around the earth if you can float above as the earth rotates?
No, because the rotational speed of the Earth is much faster than most objects can travel. Even if you could float above the Earth's surface, you would still be moving at the same rotational speed as the planet. To complete a full orbit around the Earth, you would need to travel faster than the rotational speed, which is not possible by simply floating.
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 many years would it take a spacecraft to travel to Pluto from earth?
9 years
How many hours would it take to Bulgaria?
.... from Mars? 5,136 hrs (214 days) via Earth spacecraft or 0.0033 (12 seconds) if you can travel at the speed of light. . . Aliens and their strange questions!
How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?
It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.
How fast did Apollo 8 travel?
The speed of an Apollo spacecraft is hard to answer because there are many answers available. The best question would ask something like "What was the maximum speed?", or "what was the average speed during the translunar or transearth phase?" The problem is that the speed of spacecraft was constantly changing. In order to break out of Earth orbit and reach the moon, an object must travel approximately 24,000 miles per hour. The Apollo spacecraft did just that. However, they didn't maintain that speed. Once they were out of orbit, they simply coasted the entire distance to the moon. Breaking out of Earth orbit does not mean breaking free from Earth's gravity though. The Earth was constantly pulling on the spacecraft, slowing it down. Eventually, the spacecraft got close enough to the moon that that moon's gravity had a stronger effect than the Earth's gravity, pulling the Apollo module forward, causing the module to speed up. With that in mind, we can provide the speed of Apollo 8 at various events: At translunar injection, Apollo 8 was traveling at 35, 505.41 ft/sec, or 24,208 mph. When the spacecraft entered the moon's sphere of influence (when the action of the moon's gravity became stronger than the action of the Earth's gravity on the spacecraft), it had slowed down to 3,261 ft/sec, or 2,223 mph. When the spacecraft reentered the Earth's atmosphere after returning from the moon, it was traveling at 36,221 ft/sec, or 24,696 mph.
How long would it take a spacecraft to travel 4.3 light years?
At a typical 18.6 miles per second the spacecraft travels at 1/10,000 of the speed of light, therefore it would take 43,000 years.
Why did the Apollo 13 spacecraft have a parachute?
The same reason why all spacecrafts have parachutes: During reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, the spacecraft goes extremely fast. And if there are people in the spacecraft and no parachute, they would slam into the water at that speed and it would be like hitting concrete. So without a parachute, everyone on the spacecraft would be killed.
Why must spacecraft reach escape velocity to be able to go to space?
a slower speed will not overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth. It would fall back to Earth.
If a aircraft can travel at 100000km per hour how many days would it take to travel from earth to Pluto?
The straight-line distance from Earth to Pluto ranges from 4.3 billion km to 7.5 billion km, depending on their relative positions in their orbits. To complicate matters further, spacecraft cannot travel in straight lines. This is because accelerating to the necessary speeds would require more fuel than a spacecraft can carry. Instead, the rockets will fly by the moon, or one or more planets, gaining speed by the slingshot effect.
How long would it take for space travelers to get to Jupiter from Earth if the average speed of the spacecraft is 55000 mph?
exactly about ten minutes.. considering he is traveling of a speed of 55000.
How long would it take to get to the sun by spacecraft?
Time = 150Gm/c/n= 500secsxn where n is the fraction of the speed of light. If youb travel at 1/1000 of the speed of light then 500kseconds.
If you travel to the moon at a speed of 1500 mph how many days will the trip take?
At its closest, the Moon is about 226,000 miles away. Moving at a speed of 1500 mph, it would take about 150 hours or 6.25 days to cover this distance. That's assuming you travel in a "straight line" from Earth to the Moon. The paths followed by spacecraft are not usually simple "straight lines".
