What does a space shuttle use to overcome earths gravity?
Rockets, the fire and gas propelled out the bottom make it rise.
How does a rocket make enough thrust to escape earths gravity?
Today's rockets use chemical fuel for this. That is, they burn something.
How does the center of gravity affect rockets?
The center of gravity affects the rockets flight by being gay.
How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?
In space, there is no gravity to overcome. The chllenge to astronauts is how to deal with the lack of gravity.
How do rockets stay up in the air?
Rockets stay in the air so long as they are burning enough fuel to overcome the acceleration of gravity. Let me explain. For something to leave the surface of a planet, in our case that planet would be the Earth, it must overcome gravity. Gravity on the earth has a constant acceleration about 9.8 m/s that points toward the center of mass of the earth, which is somewhere near it's core. Now to overcome that force a rocket must have an anti-parallel acceleration that is greater than that of gravity. A rocket achieves the necessary acceleration by burning fuel that provides propulsion. So long as the rocket is burning enough fuel to keep it's acceleration above that of gravity it will stay in the air.
What devices do es the space shuttle use to overcome the earths gravity?
rockets
What does a space shuttle use to overcome earths gravity?
Rockets, the fire and gas propelled out the bottom make it rise.
Which must be overcome by a rockets thrust?
The payload's weight, and the weight of the rocket itself.
Why do rockets use thrust?
Rockets use thrust to overcome the force of Earth's gravity.
Why are rockets for deep space travel so huge?
they have to pass some forces in the earths atmosphere They have to overcome the force of gravity, lifting the rocket and all of the fuel to an escape orbit.
Can you turn gravity off?
NO!!! However, if you can have an acceleration greater than 10 m/s^2, then you can overcome gravity - hence rockets into space.

How does the center of gravity affect rockets?

Why are booster rockets on the space shuttle solid fuel engines but the main shuttle engines are liquid fuel?
It initially takes a large amount of energy to overcome Earths gravity. The aluminum oxide rockets get the shuttle moving and once they are lit up they burn until done. The liquid H2/O2 engines burn in a controlled, steerable manner to control entry into orbit.
Why is flying to and through space a greater feat than flying through the air?
because to get to space you have to overcome the pull of earths gravity
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
