Motion takes place over time and what?

Space.


How do you explain how light can travel through the vacuum of space?

Newtons 1st law, "An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force." Basicly the photons travel through space gradually spreading out as they hit different particles.


What kind of newtons law of motion is illustrated if the force that accelerates a rocket into outer space is exerted on the rocket by the exhaust gases?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's third law of motion)..


How is space described?

Space is the entire volume in which all objects are located and in which all motion takes place.


How far can a space shuttle travel into space?

I've always thought the answer to this was: It can keep going forever unless something in its way stops it. (One of newtons laws) See in space there is no gravity and without that force an object in motion can stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. EX. A planet or asteroid etc.


Do newtons laws work for outer space?

NO


How does a rocket launch demonstrate Newtons Rd law?

Newton's Third Law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."


Is it possible to have motion in absence of force?

Not according to Newtons Law: Forces = Mass X Acceleration However, in a vacuum, after you used your force on an object and it now has motion, the object will have motion for eternity, even when there is no force. So as a matter of fact, it is possible. Just not on any planet, only in outer space.


What is the space shuttle's weight when it is traveling through outer space?

0.0 newtons


What is the space shuttles weight when it is traveling through outer space?

0.0 newtons


What is the weight of 2.0kg of mass in Newtons?

19.6 newtons when the experiment is performed on the earth. 3.2 newtons on the moon, 7.04 newtons on Mercury, zero while coasting in any space vehicle.


How does newtons law of universal gravition apply to earth and the moon?

Universal gravitation is the property of mass and space that maintains all orbital motion, regardless of what two orbiting bodies you're talking about.
