How would an astronaut aboard a space shuttle go about dropping an object down to earth?
you cant moron there's no gravity in space there for you can not drop something down to earth from space.
When a astronaut is in space her body is acted upon by increased gravitational force from the earth?
No, it would be with a decreased force of gravity.
Would an astronaut bring a compass on their space expedition?
Not for navigation. Compasses work based on the magnetic field of Earth and are pointless for navigation except on Earth.
If an astronaut was stranded in space but was hovering above the earths atmosphere would there be any way to make it back alive?
The astronaut would need to be rescued. There is no way to get back to Earth from orbit in only a spacesuit.
Who was the astronaut who experience weightlessness while orbiting the earth?
Any astronaut would experience weightlessness while orbiting the Earth.Any astronaut would experience weightlessness while orbiting the Earth.Any astronaut would experience weightlessness while orbiting the Earth.Any astronaut would experience weightlessness while orbiting the Earth.
What would happen if an astronaut took of his helmet in space?
If an astronaut took off his helmet in space, his body would explode from the lack of pressure in space before other problems would become noticeable.
How would you know the earth is revolving around the sun?
You would'nt really. Not unless you were in space, watching the earth for days on end. But that would be nearly impossible, as you would be looking at the sun.
How much will astronaut weigh in outer space?
A pound is a unit of mass. Mass is constant throughout the cosmos, so if the astronaut has a MASS of 180 pounds on Earth, it will be the same even in space. But, the astronaut doesn't have a weight of 180 pounds. His MASS is 180 pounds. Weight = mass x gravity. So, in space, his weight is 0 Newtons.
Would it be colder or warmer on an asteroid or Earth?
it would be colder on an asteroid than it is on earth because asteroids are in space and space is so cold that if you were in space without a astronaut suit you would freeze to death immediately but if the asteroid were moving (a shooting star) it would be flaming and would be warmer than earth depending on what part of earth you are talking about (for example the is a large temperature distinction between the Sahara desert and antartica ) hope this helps and good luck with your future studies of earth and space.
How can astronauts wear an outfit that is heavier than they are?
Think about it. A astronaut wears his suit up in space where gavity level is much lower than in earth. If you have a 160 lbs. suit and a 125 lbs. man the suit would be about 25 lbs. in space and the astronaut would still have his strength to hold up his earth weight, 125 lbs. so he could carry his suit easily.
The highest satellite are about 5.6 earth radii from the centre of the earth .this is about a tenth of the way to the moon. what would be the force of gravity be on a50 kg astronaut at this location?
The force of gravity on Earth for this astronaut is 50 x 9.8 = 490 Newton. Divide this by 5.6 squared, and you get 15.6 Newton.Note that the astronaut will not feel this force, because he is in free fall; any space capsule he is in will accelerate towards Earth with the same speed as him, and he will feel weightless.
What might happen if an astronaut floating in space moved the north poles of two magnets together and let them go?
The result would be the same as on Earth (except in 3D). Something different would happen (i) if the astronaut let go of one magnet before the other or (ii) if there were two astronauts, with one magnet each. (In space, the astronaut could spin, as well (except much more slowly).)
