What is the name of large lumps of rock that orbit the sun?
Large lumps of rock that orbit the sun could refer to planets, asteroids, meteors.
What are the satellites that orbit around Jupiter?
It is mostly rock, and rubble. ~Rainbowman
What does a higher percentage of daughter isotopes in rock mean?
A higher percentage of daughter isotopes present in a sample, the older the rock is.
Where would the rock line be in our solar system?
A bit inside the orbit of Mercury, at about 0.3 AU.
Is it possible that another planet we haven't found is following earths orbit?
Not a planet of any significant size, which would be easy to see, but it is possible that some pieces of rock are in a similar orbit to the Earth at the five Lagrangian Points of the Earth's orbit.
Where earthquake waves travel faster whether in rock or water?
Faster in rock. the higher the density, the higher the speed.
Why is it necessary for a rock to accelerate to a very high speed when carrying a satellite to its orbit?
An object in near-Earth orbit requires a speed of almost 8 kilometers per second to remain in orbit. At any lower speed, it will simply crash to Earth. - Also, pushing the satellite up to its orbit - 200 kilometers above the surface or something like that - requires additional energy.
A 0.50kg rock is launched upward with an initial speed of 80.0 meter per second how long will it take for he rock to reach its maximum height?
It takes 5 seconds to reach the top of its path.
How does a rock change from a metamorphic rock into a igneous rock?
By melting and then solidifying from melt. Increasing heat and pressure can cause metamorphic rock to enter higher and higher degrees of metamorphism until they may finally reach the point of melting. When this molten material finally cools, it is considered an igneous rock.
What is the duration of Reach the Rock?
The duration of Reach the Rock is 1.67 hours.
What happen to kinetic energy of the rock as it gets higher and higher?
Unless the speed of the rock changes, the kinetic energy does not change. If you are talking about a rock that is being thrown, of course the kinetic energy decreases as kinetic energy is converted into potential by the conservative gravitational force.
When was Reach the Rock created?
Reach the Rock was created on 1998-10-16.
What is the name of large lumps of rock that orbit the sun?
Large lumps of rock that orbit the sun could refer to planets, asteroids, meteors.
What some of these rock fall out of orbit and become what?
Meteor.
What does a comet orbit?
Comets are small bodies of rock and ice which are in a highly eccentric orbit directly around our sun.
Does a meteorite orbit a star?
No. A meteorite is a rock that has reached the surface of a planet from space. The meteoroid that there meteorite once was orbited the star.
What is a rock in space without an orbit?
Impossible. All objects in space have an "orbit" - it just means the path that they're traviling.
