Why a force is applied at right angles to heavy doors at its outer edge while closing or opening it?

If you apply force to the outer edge of the door, this gives you the most leverage.


Do things slow down as quickly in outer space as it does on Earth?

Usually not. To slow a moving object down, some force must act on the moving object. On Earth, this force is usually friction. In outer space, there is no significant amount of friction, so moving objects tend to continue moving, unless they are slowed down by OTHER forces, such as gravity.


What a moving object in outer space slow down?

Most objects in outer space are moving under the gravitational attraction of other galaxies or galactic clusters. The attractive force speeds them up rather than slows them down.


Do Newton's Laws of Motion apply in outer space?

Yes, the laws of motion apply in outer space.


Why is the outer bank of the road kept slightly higher than the inner bank?

while taking turn on the road,a car moves in a circular path to keep the car moving along the circular path, centripetal force is required. in the absence of this force, the car will skid off the road to the outer size of the road and may possibly turn turtle due to inertia .the force of friction between the tires and roads provides the necessary centripetal force and keeps the car moving on the curved path.


What keeps the Moon from floating away?

The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)


If you were in outer space and threw a ball how much force would be required to keep it moving through the vacuum of space?

ZeroThis is a very important principle, which the questioner should take time to think about.


Does an electron lose or gain energy while moving up and down an energy level?

depends. Moving from an inner level to an outer level, the e- absorbs energy. Moving from an outer level to an inner level, the e- loses energy.


Does the Archimedes principle hold in a satellite moving in a circular orbit?

The Archimede principle is quite irrelevant for an object in empty space. Since the density of outer space is almost zero, there is no significant buoyant force.

Is outer space moving?

Yes it is. To be more accurate, it's expanding.
