What forces act on something being dropped off a building?
Gravity
Is gravity used in space travel?
If you mean do any manned spacecraft use artificial gravity, the answer is, not so far. But, in the future, large spacecraft may create artificial gravity by rotating them. To conserve fuel, the gravity of the moon/planets is used to pull spacecraft toward them. And of course the gravity of earth is used to hold/pull on spacecraft so they orbit (circle) around it instead of flying off into space.
What is the answer of when i take on my clothes it takes off its clothes?
I think its your reflection
Which of newtons laws is in control of a spacecraft cruising through space at constant speed without using any fuel?
Unfortunately, the answer which [I think] is required is incorrect.I expect that the answer that you are required to provide is Newton's law of Inertia. A part of this states that a body in motion remains in constant motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by an external force. However, there are very few place in space where this can happen. Even at points in space where the gravitational force of the Sun is exactly matched by that of the Earth, as soon as the spacecraft moves from that point, the forces will be in imbalance and the spacecraft will experience an external force which will affect its speed.
Where do the resultant forces act mostly on the vehicle when accelerating around a left hand bend?
Front off side
How is a spacecraft launched?
There are about four forces that act on a lifting off spacecraft . The four forces are the thrust force, the weight of the spacecraft, the drag and the lift force.
Why do you tend to fall backwards when a plane takes off?
The forward momentum forces you back.
What the force on the spacecraft and force on the moon?
There are various forces acting on them, but a few forces which significantly decide their motion are: 1. On moon: Gravitational force due to earth and sun 2. On spacecraft: Gravitational force due to earth, moon and sun
One reason why landing a spacecraft on the moon takes careful planning is that the moon does what?
One reason why landing a spacecraft on the moon takes careful planning is that the moon move along its own path (its own orbit).One reason why landing a spacecraft on the moon takes careful planning is that the moon always moves along its own orbit.
Where did the spacecraft take off from?
NASA's Apollo and Space Shuttle spacecraft all launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Where did John Glenn's spacecraft lift off at?
NASA
How long does it generally take to reach moon from the earth?
It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the moon. During that time a spacecraft travels about 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the moon. It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the moon. During that time a spacecraft travels about 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the moon.
How does the space shuttle land and take off?
A spacecraft take off by using 3 boosters to get it into space. It comes back just using the spacecraft and landing it near a station.
Which spacecraft burned before lift off?
Apollo 1
What is it called when the spacecraft leaves the launch pad?
Lift-off
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 longdoes it take to get to the moon from earth?
It takes 3-4 days to get to the moon from Earth by spacecraft
