How do you find the average speed of an object?
Average distance ______________ = Average Speed Average time
To justify with calculation average speed is equal to instantaneous speed?
Only if speed is constant. There can be no acceleration if the average speed is equal to the instantaneous speed.
Average bullet speed?
the average bullet speed is 896m/s
What are non-examples of average speed?
Methamphetamine is a nonexample of average speed.
What is the equation of average speed?
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
What is the average speed of a spacecraft orbiting mars if the spacecraft takes 2.2 h to complete an orbit that is 26500 km long?
Approx 12045 km per hour.
How long would it take for space travelers to get to Jupiter from Earth if the average speed of the spacecraft is 55000 mph?
exactly about ten minutes.. considering he is traveling of a speed of 55000.
How many years it takes to reach from earth to moon?
Spacecraft can reach the Moon in a few days.Actually the time depends on the speed. You can assume an average speed, and use the formula: distance = speed x time Solving for time: time = distance / speed
What do they use to calculate the speed of an spacecraft?
*a
What is the speed of a spacecraft in space?
it depends on the craft
What is a deorbit burn that is done by space shuttles on reentry?
The firing of a spacecraft's engine against the direction of motion to cut the spacecraft's orbital speed. The speed reduction places the spacecraft in a lower orbit. If this lower orbit passes through Earth's atmosphere, the spacecraft reenters.
How is the speed of a spacecraft measured?
Velocity is reported in knots
Maximum speed of Apollo 13 spacecraft?
14km/h
What is the average capacity of a spacecraft?
100000 hp
How does the speed of a spacecraft affect its orbit?
It stabilizes or de-stabilizes it. A spacecraft needs to maintain a relative velocity of 25,000 miles per hour in order to counteract the earth's gravitational pull on the spacecraft. At a lesser speed, the craft will start to fall back to earth.
Why does a spacecraft speed scilently through space?
Because there's no gravity.
What design challenges do scientists face in trying to land a spacecraft on a comet?
the speed of a comet and the rotation is far too fast for a spacecraft to land
