What else can I help you with?
Does monmentum maintain orbital motion?
The orbit of a planet (or other object) is maintained by a balance between gravity (which is trying to pull the object inwards) - and centrifugal force (which is trying to 'throw' the object out into space.
What happens if you throw a football into space on a space walk?
If a football were thrown in space during a spacewalk, it would continue moving in a straight line at a constant velocity due to the lack of air resistance or gravitational forces to slow it down. In the vacuum of space, there is no atmosphere to affect its trajectory, so it would keep moving until it encounters another force or object.
Why do things in space stay in space?
Things that 'stay' in space are in orbit round something. This means that they are actually falling!For instance if you throw a ball up it will fall back down. Now throw it up and away from you, it will go up and then come down but its path is a curve. The harder/faster you throw it the longer that curve.If it were possible to remove the air from around Earth (which slows things down) and you could throw something fast enough, then the curve of its path would match the curve of the earth, when this happens the object you throw will orbit the Earth - it will stay up!On Earth (in its atmosphere) you can never get something into orbit because the air slows the thing you throw down, which is why you have to launch the object up outside the atmosphere (into space) to get it to orbit. The launch rocket first goes UP then tilts over to accelerate the space ship to go round the Earth fast enough for it to stay in space.The space ship stays in space BY FALLING but CONTINUOUSLY MISSING the earth as to falls due to its forward momentum.
What happens when an astronaut pretends to throw something in outer space and what happens to him?
In weightlessness, an astronaut that "pretends" to throw an object may find his or her arm's sudden movement causes their body to rotate in the same direction. If they actually threw a mass, the forces would cause the astronaut to travel in the opposite direction.
What happens if we throw a ball in space?
The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.
Can you throw objects faster in space or on earth?
Space bcause theres no air resistance to slow down the object in space.
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you even if it doesnt hit anything there is nothing attached to it and no one else catches or throws it?
Throw the ball straight up in the air. or Throw the ball against the wind.
Is it possible to throw a ball in a straight line?
In a theory, it's possible to move any object in a straight line of motion, but in real life, it's physically impossible.

If you are riding in a fast moving car in what direction would you throw an object so that it will return to your hand?
Forward. When you throw an object, you'll be traveling at a high acceleration and velocity fast enough that when you throw the object you'll catch very quickly, mostly because you would throw it slower than the acceleration of the car.-----------If you are accelerating, the above is true--you would need to throw ahead of you at an angle for it to return to your hand. However, if the car is traveling quickly but at a constant speed, you would simply throw it straight upward, like you normally would. This is because both you and the object are already traveling at the same speed in the same direction.

What if your house phone in sims 3 iPod doesnt say throw party?
mine doesnt
How do you throw a ball has hard as you can and get it back without hitting something?
Throw it straight up.
Does gravity take over when you throw an object How does gravity work when you throw an object?
yes..slow it down from the constant weight of the gravity it self
What is a pointed object you throw at a board?
A dart
What would it be like to throw a baseball in space?
it will be wierd because when you throw it it will fly
