What is a orbiting space shuttle?
An orbiter.
Why do objects in orbiting space shuttle float?
No Gravity.
In and orbiting space shuttle are two different weights the same or different?
-- You called them "different weights", so they're different. -- In an orbiting space shuttle, nothing has any weight, whether it's a bottle of water or the whole steel frame of the shuttle itself. So all weights there are the same ... namely, they are all zero.
What gravitational effects do you experience in an orbiting space station?
None. Inside the space shuttle is regulated.
Is there gravity pulling on orbiting shuttle?
Absolutely; the gravitational field of the planet Earth extends to the shuttle and much farther; the moon is held in its orbit by the Earth's gravity, and the shuttle doesn't travel nearly as far as the moon.
Is gravitational force acting on a person who falls off a cliff or on an astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle?
Yes, gravitational force is acting on both the person falling off a cliff and the astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle. The person falling off a cliff experiences a gravitational pull towards the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate downwards. The astronaut inside an orbiting space shuttle experiences a gravitational pull towards the Earth as well, but their motion is primarily governed by their speed and centripetal force that keeps them in orbit.
Why does the space shuttle need rocket thrusters when its orbiting the exosphere?
Firstly, the lower boundary of the exosphere is 600km so the Space shuttle would have no need to be orbiting in the exosphere. Most of the time the space shuttle missions are to the ISS which orbits at a height of 370km. This is in the Thermosphere (approx 100km - 600km). The purpose of its thrusters are to aid in takeoff, docking with satellites, and reducing its speed to begin re-entry into earth's atmosphere.
What is a good pro shuttle time?
A good time in the professional shuttle in the NFL Combine is about 4.2 seconds. The distance is over and back over a distance of 20 yards.
Is the hubble space telescope a space station or a space shuttle?
The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope, not a space station or a space shuttle. It was launched into space in 1990 and orbits the Earth, capturing images of the universe. The telescope has provided valuable insights into the cosmos and has been serviced multiple times by space shuttle missions.
How does the force of gravity on an astronaut orbiting in the space shuttle compare with the force of gravity on the same astronaut when she is standing on the earth s surface?
Gravity is proportional to the mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the centre of the body or bodies.As the shuttle orbits at a comparatively low altitude and the mass remains constant the force diminishes only slightly. Being in free-fall does not mean there is no gravity.
If an orbiting shuttle follows the curve of the earths surface as it moves at a constant speed and so is said to be earth . fill in the blank?
If an orbiting shuttle follows the curve of the Earth's surface as it moves at a constant speed, it is said to be in a state of free fall. This means that the shuttle is essentially in a continuous fall towards the Earth while also moving forward, creating a stable orbit due to the balance between gravitational pull and its tangential velocity.
What is the diameter of a space shuttle?
The diameter of a space shuttle, specifically the orbiter, is approximately 17 feet (5.2 meters) at its widest point. The shuttle's overall dimensions vary, but this measurement refers to the width of the shuttle's fuselage. The shuttle's wingspan, when extended, is significantly larger, measuring about 78 feet (23.8 meters).
