Can you give me a sentence for the word space shuttle?
The space shuttle raced through space.
How heavy is the space shuttle?
The Space Shuttle (Endeavor) empty weighs about 78,000 kg (172,000 lb) with the boosters give a total liftoff weight of 2,000,000 kg (4,400,000 lb) [See Link]
How much pollution does a space shuttle give off?
a considerable amount for what is really a very short burn.
Why use a space shuttle?
You use it to give the rocket a extra boost into space and make sure it gets into orbit, without it space ships would be falling back to earth!
What was the date of the first space shuttle explosion give day month and year?
the day was in January 28 1986
How does a space shuttle change direction in space?
Small air jets on the outside of the fuselodge give short bursts that "push" the nose in one direction or another.
Does the shuttle have to go around the earth to get into outerspace?
-- An object being launched to go to 'outer space' doesn't need to go around the Earth in order to get there. That's done sometimes, just to give ground controllers a chance to check things out and make sure it's ready for the long part of the trip, but it's not a necessary part of the process. -- The Space Shuttle wasn't designed for 'outer space', and never went anywhere except around the Earth. -- The Space Shuttle doesn't even do that much any more. The last Shuttle mission flew in 2011, and all of the remaining Shuttles are in museums now.
How would it take to travel the distance of a light-year in a space shuttle?
Depends on how much thrust you give the shuttle. Assuming the shuttle leaves earth at escape velocity (11.2 km/s) then: 1 ly= 9,460,730,472,580.8 km divide 1 ly by the velocity: 844,708,077,909 seconds or 26767.7555 years
Would you give five examples of chemical change?
A space shuttle blasting; fireworks exploding; an iron nail rusting; leaves changing color; a campfire burning.
Why do planes and space shuttles fly at a different speed?
The space shuttle goes into orbit around the earth. In order to stay in an orbit, something that is orbiting has to go at the right speed for that orbit. The orbit the space shuttle goes into has a speed of around 17000 mph. If it went faster, it would go up higher into space away from the earth. If it went slower, it would not have enough energy of motion and it would fall back to earth. The shuttle's big rockets don't just lift it up into space, their main purpose is to give the shuttle this enormous speed so that it can stay in its orbit. A plane engine is not strong enough to make the plane go this fast, but if it did somehow go this fast it would burn up. When it is time to land, small rockets on the shuttle change the orbit so that it goes into the air. The air slows the shuttle down, and it starts to come down faster since it doesn't have enough speed anymore to stay in orbit. The air rushing past the shuttle has friction with the shuttle and gets very hot. As the shuttle goes through the air, it slows down from this friction, until it is finally going slow enough to land. When it lands the shuttle has slowed down to the speed of a plane.
What is the Sample space for 4?
In order to determine the sample space, an actual description of the problem is needed. A number doesn't give the required information.
Did the space shuttle enterprise get to orbit by rockets fired from the ground or did it get piggy backed on a 747 all the time ane did it have any engines or rockets to give it power?
Enterprise never went to space. It was a practice craft used to practice landing. It only traveled on the 747
