Would there be gravity on a space ship in open space moving at high speeds and if so in what direction would it move?
No only when in earth's atmoshpere can the gravity be on.
What was proven in the 1919 solar eclipse?
that gravity affected light, space and time itself, and as a result the Sun would deflect starlight passing by it. Changes in the apparent direction of stars in the sky, seen close to the Sun during a total eclipse, could confirm the idea.
How would you turn in space if there is no gravity?
To start off, there is indeed gravity in space. Objects in orbit only seem weightless because they are already in freefall. Gravity is the main forces that affects objects in space and can be used to change a trajectory. You can also change your speed and direction in space by firing rockets.
What way is vertical?
Vertical is a relative term. It usually refers to a direction pointing in the opposite direction of Gravity. So if you are in outer space, then I guess there is no real "vertical" direction.
What is the key for angry bird space?
It is to keep an eye out for gravity fields and sometimes to throw the brds in the opposite direction
What if there was gravity in space?
There is gravity in space. Gravity is everywhere. You can never escape gravity.
What keeps rockets in space moving forward?
Since there is no gravity nor air resistance, they will continue to float in the direction where they were propelled.
What keeps asteroids moving through space?
the gravity of large masses. the large masses could be other planets or stars or our sun Their own momentum. other masses only deflect them by changing their momentum.
How does the structure of earths interior affect the wave speed and direction of seismic waves?
deflect
How did gravity assist the voyagers flight to Neptune?
Voyager 2 took 12 years to get to Neptune and it got there via gravity assist also known as the slingshot effect. It went past the orbit of mars onward to Jupiter, using its massive gravity to deflect the space craft towards Saturn. It used Saturn's gravitational pull to deflect itself towards Uranus and did the same thing with Uranus's gravity. Eventually it arrived at Neptune's orbit. It would probably take longer nowadays to do the same thing, because rockets are not built as efficiently as they were back then to get to where they wanted to go.
Why does everything inside of a galaxy remain in place instead of flying off into space?
Well, to tell the truth, everything inside a galaxy is actually flying off in space. Everything that is anything is flying off in space. Space is the thing that everything is in. What does tend to keep things together is gravity. So as things inside a galaxy are flying around in space, gravity keeps them from flying off in their own direction.
What happens to the roots when you place a plant on its side?
in most cases they will change direction and start growing downwards again. if you took the plant to outer space, where there is no gravity, they will grow in any direction.
