In Apollo 15, the astronauts experienced only a tiny bit over 1 g at liftoff. Throughout the burn of the main engines, the force increases to a maximum of about 4 g's at a couple of minutes into the flight. This is a "max" value, and occurs just before staging occurs. But let's not burn any more time here talking about it. Use the link below to the NASA log of Apollo 15 and look at the actual graph of acceleration. You'll have to scroll down to find it, but it's worth it.
What else can I help you with?
How many pounds in one newton?
In one newton there is 0.224808943 pounds of force, and in a pound of force there are 4.44822162 newtons of force. Note that a Newton is a unit of force, not mass. actually a newton is 0.00571014716277 pounds of force!!
What 3 ways can a force affect an objects motion?
Forces are created in many different ways. . . . . for example strong nuclear force electromagnetic force weak force and gravity
Force is expressed in what unit of measure?
There are many units of force. The standard one in the SI system is the newton. Others include dynes and pounds-force.
What is the force when your trying to push something up called?
There are many types of pushing forces :) here are the names 1. applied force 2. air resistance force 3. gravitational force 4. spring force 5. normal force 6. frictional force 7. tension force 8. hope I helped :) --Hermione Granger:D
When a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force what occurs?
Usually any learner would get a doubt regarding the force acting on a body. There are many situations. 1: If a force constantly acts on a body, then it will be accelerated. So its speed would go on increasing if it starts from rest. 2: If a force acts on a uniformly moving body opposite to the direction of motion, then the speed of the body would go on decreasing and it comes to stop. Yet the force is in action, then the body would get accelerated in the other direction. 3: If a force is applied in such a way that it is balanced by an equal and opposite force, then neither acceleration nor retardation is possible. Yet the body could be got moved through some displacement. In such a case we compute only the amount of work done by that applied force. Examples: a) Lifting a book against its gravitational weight. b) Dragging an object on the floor exerting a force which equals to the force of friction between the object and the floor. Even in the earlier case work is said to be done by the force and that work performed will be available as kinetic energy in the moving system. But in latter case the energy spent would be available as potential energy in case of lifting and heat energy in case of dragging.
How many g force does the space shuttle pull?
The maximum acceleration that was experienced during normal shuttle liftoff was about 3g. During reentry, astronauts experienced approximately 1.5g.
How many g's during Apollo?
During Apollo missions, astronauts experienced forces of up to 4–5 times Earth's gravity (4-5 G's) during launch and re-entry, while in a sitting position. At other times, such as in microgravity during orbit, they experienced weightlessness.
How many Gs do astronauts endure in take off?
Astronauts experience 3g's which is no problem during takeoff, however during landing the astronauts experience 15 minutes of 3 g forces with weakened cardiovascular systems to to prolonged exposure to microgravity. Their suits however, prevent blackouts.
How many Gs do astronauts experience during space shuttle launch?
Around 4
What branch of the military does an astronaut fall under?
Historically, astronauts were drawn from the ranks of pilots, so most of the current military astronauts are in the Air Force. The Navy and the Marines have also trained astronauts but not as many.
How many seconds after liftoff did the challenger explode?
The Challenger space shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986.
How many pounds of thrust did the rocket achieve on liftoff?
The thrust of a rocket on liftoff can vary depending on the rocket's design and size. For example, the Falcon 9 rocket produces about 1.7 million pounds of thrust at liftoff.
How many pounds of thrust does the space shuttle produce during liftoff?
The space shuttle produced about 7.8 million pounds of thrust during liftoff.
How many G's when a space shuttle takes off?
When the space shuttle takes off, the astronauts experience 9 times the normal force of gravity on earth. At launch the gravity that they experience is about 1.7 g's and by the time the solid rocket boosters are separated which is two minutes into the launch the g-force will be over 2 g's. At the separation of the solid rocket booster, the g-force will decrease to just over 1 g. During the last one minute of the ascent, which is for 8.5 minutes, when the main engines ignited the last full minute, we will experience about 3 g's, and when the main engines cut off around 8 minutes, 30 seconds, you go right into zero-g and everything starts to float around.
How many g Forces are experienced during shuttle launch?
The maximum is 3g. At launch the gravity that they experience is about 1.7 g's and by the time the solid rocket boosters are separated which is two minutes into the launch the g-force will be over 2 g's. At the separation of the solid rocket booster, the g-force will decrease to just over 1 g. During the last one minute of the ascent, which is for 8.5 minutes, when the main engines ignited the last full minute, we will experience about 3 g's, and when the main engines cut off around 8 minutes, 30 seconds, you go right into zero-g and everything starts to float around.
How many astronauts died on the moon?
No astronauts have died on the moon. All astronauts who have traveled to the moon returned safely to Earth.
How many Apollo astronauts were on the moon?
There were a total of 12 astronauts who walked on the moon.
