How do astronauts leave the earth?
astronauts leave earth by the liftoff of the space shuttle and rockets, it is called force of the rocket. The engine starts and liquid fuel comes out of the rocket and pushes them up.
How did Armstrong leave the moon?
He got in the rocket that he and the others used to get there and flew back to earth
How long does it take a rocket to leave earth?
the shuttle takes about 8 minutes to reach orbit
How does gravity act on a rocket when it travels from earth?
Gravity acts on rockets by letting it leave the ground.
How fast is a car going to leave a skid mark of 88 meters?
69 meters per second
What is the main factor in determining the amount of thrust a rocket requires to leave the Earth's atmosphere?
Payload weight.
What is the main factor in determining the amount of thrust a rocket requires to leave earth atmosphere?
Payload weight.
How many miles per hour does Earth travels in its journey around the center of the Milky Way?
This speed is about 220 km/second, or 220,000 meters/second. I'll leave it to you to convert this to obsolete units.
What will happen if a rocket goes any slower than 8 kilometers per second?
Not exactly sure about the actual speed, but it sounds like <8Km/second would not be fast enough to be considered "escape velocity." The speed needed to leave Earth's gravitational field.
Would a rocket leaving the moon surface require as great a speed or force as one leaving the earth surface?
No. There is less gravity on the moon, therefore the rocket would feel less of a pull towards it than the earth. It would be easier to leave the moon than the earth.
How does the space shuttle leave earth?
By the 2 solid rocket boosters on the sides, and the Liquid hydrogen/oxygen tank underneath the orbiter.
Is a space shuttle faster than a conventional rocket?
That' depends on the mission. A rocket and a space shuttle have to be in orbit and so have to fly at 8 km/s. But in certain cases, the rocket has to leave the earth (apollo, planet probe...), and then these rocket have to fly at 11 km/s. So usually the speed are the same, but sometimes, rocket are faster...
