Since there is no gravity nor air resistance, they will continue to float in the direction where they were propelled.

Which force keeps the space station in orbit?

The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.


How rockets help us explore space?

Rockets provide force that can propel ships forward, even in the near vacuum conditions of space. Propellers can provide force only in a substantial atmosphere.


What keeps the probe moving in space after the rocket no longer pushes it?

Inertia.


What reactions do rockets have in space?

Rockets in space follow Newton's third law of motion, generating thrust by expelling mass in one direction to create an equal and opposite reaction in the opposite direction, propelling the rocket forward. Additionally, rockets can perform maneuvers in space by adjusting the direction and speed of their exhaust gases to control their trajectory.


Will rockets work in space?

Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.


How do rockets propel a spaceship forward?

Rockets propel a spaceship forward by expelling high-speed exhaust gases in the opposite direction to create a reactionary force as per Newton's Third Law of Motion. This force pushes the rocket and the spaceship it is attached to in the opposite direction, propelling them forward through space.


How do space aircrafts works?

Space spacecrafts work by using rockets to propel them through the vacuum of space. They carry fuel to power the rockets and can adjust their trajectory using thrusters. Once in space, they rely on the laws of physics to continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by another force.


How does rockets aid in space exploration?

Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.


Do rockets take animals to space?

yes rockets take animals to space


A space probe is carried by a rocket into outer space What keeps the probe moving after the rocket no longer pushes it?

Sir Isac Newtons first law of motion The law of inertia an object in motion remainsthe same unless acted upon by an external force.In space there is no force to slow itdown so it keeps moving the same speed it was when the rockets stopped burning.In other words:No force is required to keep a moving object moving, as long as there's nothing actingon it to make it stop.


Do rockets carry people to space?

Yes, rockets are vehicles that can carry humans into space. Crewed spacecraft such as the SpaceX Crew Dragon and the Russian Soyuz spacecraft are launched into space atop rockets like the Falcon 9 and Soyuz rockets. Once in space, these spacecraft can dock with the International Space Station or travel to other destinations in space.


What are rockets and lube used for?

Rockets are used for space exploration, satellite deployment, and as a means of transportation. Lube, short for lubricant, is used to reduce friction and wear between moving parts in machinery, vehicles, and industrial equipment.
