What happens if a spacecraft is orbiting the earth and wants to go faster so turns the engines on?
That depends upon the direction in which it is facing when it turns its engine on. If it faces the direction in which it is already moving, the added speed will cause it to move to a higher orbit. If it faces against the direction in which it is moving to slow down, it will move to a lower orbit (or re-enter the atmosphere). If it faces any other direction, its orbit will change in various other ways.

How does spacecraft exit orbit into space?
To exit orbit and travel into space, a spacecraft must increase its velocity to overcome the gravitational pull of the celestial body it is orbiting. This is typically achieved by firing onboard thrusters or engines in the direction opposite to the spacecraft's orbital motion. Once the spacecraft reaches a high enough velocity, it can break free from the gravitational influence and continue its journey into space. This maneuver requires precise calculations and timing to ensure a successful exit from orbit.
What do engines enable you to do?
Car engines enable you to travel faster and more easily. Search engines enable you to find information faster and more easily.
What is faster a340 or a380?
A380 is faster because it has bigger engines and its a bigger aircraft
What is faster a Leonid shower or a spacecraft?
A Leonid goes way faster. It can go up to seventy kilometers per second!
What better technology would the Apollo Mission have today?
Smaller, faster, and more efficient computers. Lighter and stronger materials. More efficient motors and engines. Basically everything that went into the original spacecraft could be improved on using today's technology.
It takes 4 or 5 days to get to the moon from earth?
The time depends on the speed; the faster you go, the less time it will take. The more powerful your spacecraft engines are and the more fuel you have, the longer you can run the engines and the shorter the trip.The Apollo space missions took about 3 days to get there and back, but if you could accelerate at one gravity continually, it would take one hour to get to the Moon and land.
What are the advantages of a gas engine?
gas engines go faster that the batter powered engines and last longer (dont have to charge gas)
Is it possible to make space travel much faster?
Yes ... but not with chemical engines - we need ion rockets - or perhaps nuclear engines.
Can NOS be used on a diesel engine?
Diesel engines use propane to go faster, only gas engines use NOS
What happens to the speed of an orbiting star when you increase the size of a black hole?
What's relevant is the black hole's mass in this case. That's the same as if you change the mass of any other object around which another object orbits - for example, the mass of a star. For a higher mass of the central object, the orbiting object must move faster - assuming it is at the same distance of course.
What is the difference between diesel and gasoline engines?
Diesel engines ignite fuel through compression, while gasoline engines use spark plugs. Diesel engines are more fuel-efficient and have higher torque, but gasoline engines are typically quieter and have faster acceleration.
What happens if earth starts rotating faster what happens if earth starts rotating faster?
Nothing will happen because of the gravity
