What is the path of an object as it revolves around another object in space?
If the revolving continues for more than a few revolutions, then its path is an elliptical orbit. In space, orbiting cannot take place in a circular path, and the balance point between flying off into space, crashing into the bigger object, or staying in orbit only occurs in an ellipse. It doesn't have to be much of an ellipse, either.
What is it called to travel in a closed path around an object?
To orbit the object.
Is the sun an orbit?
No, the sun is an object. A fairly ordinary star. An orbit is the closed circular path taken by an object around another object. The suns orbit is the path it takes around the galactic centre. A journey of some 250 million years to complete one orbit. In comparison the earths orbit around the sun takes one year.
Why are astronauts floating above the Earth in a Space Shuttle really no weightless?
Weight is an expression of the gravitational force acting on an object. When the space shuttle is in orbit around the Earth, it is held there by the Earth's gravity. Since gravity is still acting on the shuttle and the astronauts inside, they still have weight. They are described as "weightless" because an object in orbit is in a constant state of free fall.
Assume that the moon travel at constant speed in a circular orbit around the earth is the moon's velocity is constant?
yes
What is constant speed?
Constant speed is movement at a fixed (constant) distance per unit of time. The same amount of distance is covered by the object in the same amount of time at each measurement of that same interval. An example of an object moving at a constant speed might be an object in orbit. Something up their above the drag of the atmosphere will move at a constant speed, and will continuously move around the earth at the same speed. Note that velocity is speed with a direction vector. An object in orbit will have a constant speed, but its velocity will be constantly changing because it is constantly changing the direction it is moving.

The path an object takes around another object is called an?
This is an orbit.
A object orbit another another is a what?
a object orbit another object is called a what?
What is the path of one object circling another?
orbit orbit orbit
If the mass of an object does not change a constant net force on the object produces a constant what?
F=ma, if F is constant and m is constant, then a is constant... its acceleration.
When does the moon orbit earth?
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
Why don't you do any work when you carry an object at a constant velocity?
I have no idea why you don't do any work when you carry an object at constant velocity. In a vehicle, you would have rolling resistance and wind resistance. On any other surface, you would have friction. Of course, once you put the object into motion, the energy required to keep it in motion would be less than that required to get it there. Even if you put something into orbit the orbit would slowly decay according to the gravitational section of the Theory of Relativity.
If the speed of an object does not changed then the object is traveling at a?
If speed does not change then the object is moving with constant speed. when object moves in a circle its speed does not remains constant. Speed of object remains constant only if it moves along linear path.
Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration?
No. An object traveling at a constant velocity is not accelerating.
What keeps objects in orbit in our solar system?
Gravity combined with the object's "sideways" (tangential to its orbit) motion. The Sun "wants" to pull the object towards it and the object "wants" to fly of into space. When these two things are balanced the object is in a stable orbit.
What is an object in orbit around the planets?
A planet in an orbit greater than any of the others.An object in orbit around a single planet is a moon or satellite of that planet.
