What else can I help you with?
What forces are needed to lift a space shuttle into space?
Upthrust is needed to lift a shuttle up RG
What are the forces like when a space shuttle leaves the earth?
Forces of Motion. As far as I have known, it is when the space shuttle leaves the earth, it is pushed upwards by the opposite side of the shuttle whenerer it is going to leave. Answered by: SAV
How long will it take for a space shuttle to go from earth to space?
It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach space after launch. The space shuttle accelerates to a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour to overcome Earth's gravity and enter space.
What devices do es the space shuttle use to overcome the earths gravity?
rockets
Which kinds of engines are used on the space shuttle and why?
RS-25's.
How many G's does the space shuttle do at launch?
The space shuttle experienced about 3 G's (3 times the force of Earth's gravity) during launch. This force occurred as the shuttle accelerated into space to overcome Earth's gravity.
Why does it take so much power to get into space?
You have to overcome the force of gravity. So, if you're in the space shuttle which weighs 240,000 pounds at liftoff, you have to have enough force to overcome that weight.
What do you know about the magnitude of the force acting on the space shuttle during landing?
During landing, the space shuttle experiences significant forces due to its high speed and the need to decelerate rapidly. The aerodynamic drag and lift forces act on the shuttle, while the landing gear absorbs the impact forces upon touchdown, which can exceed several times the shuttle's weight. The shuttle's descent is carefully controlled to manage these forces, ensuring a safe landing. Overall, the forces involved are substantial, requiring precise engineering and piloting to handle effectively.
What does a space shuttle feel like?
A space shuttle feels like a smooth ride during liftoff with a sense of acceleration and increased G-forces. Once in space, the shuttle feels weightless and the sensation is often described as floating. Reentry can feel turbulent and intense as the shuttle reenters the Earth's atmosphere.
What forces act on a space shuttle when it lands?
When a space shuttle lands, the main forces acting on it are gravitational force, aerodynamic drag, and the thrust from any retro rockets or thrusters being used. Additionally, the landing gear and brakes may also generate frictional forces as they slow down the shuttle.
Why does the space shuttle throttle up to 104 percent?
The Space Shuttle throttled up to 104 percent to provide more power during critical phases of the ascent, like passing through Max-Q ("maximum dynamic pressure") and reaching orbit. This extra thrust helped overcome atmospheric drag and gravitational forces, ensuring the shuttle safely reached space.
How does a shuttle get into space?
A shuttle, like the Space Shuttle, gets into space by being launched into the atmosphere with the help of powerful rockets. The rockets provide the necessary thrust and speed to overcome Earth's gravity and carry the shuttle into orbit around the planet. Once in orbit, the shuttle can maneuver and travel to its destination in space.
