Do spaceships travel around the earth faster going east to west rather than west to east?
Their direction has no bearing on their speed. Objects stay in orbit because of the attraction of earths gravity which has nothing to do with the earth's rotation on it's axis. If objects go too fast they fly off into space, too slow and they fall back to earth. Orbiting is a balancing act between the objects speed trying to fling it away from the earth and gravity trying to pull it down.
Why are the things on earth do not scrumble when the earth is turning around its axis?
Objects on Earth, including ourselves, are all moving along with the Earth as it rotates on its axis. This movement is due to inertia, the tendency of objects to remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. As a result, we do not feel the effects of Earth's rotation or crumble because we are all essentially moving at the same speed.
What are Geo - stationary orbit satellites?
Geo stationary satellites are man made objects sent up into space that orbit the Earth parallel with and in the plane of the equator. They are sent up into space so that their distance from the Earth and hence their orbital speed matches the speed with which the Earth rotates on its axis. This means that they maintain a constant "stationary" position over a point on the equator of the planet. This is useful for communications and earth observation purposes.
What does rotation have to do with earth?
The Earth's rotation on its axis gives us our day. Gravitational pull from the sun and moon also produces tides which are believed to be a significant contributor to the development of life on earth; tidal forces also tend to slightly reduce the Earth's rotational speed and cause the moon to slowly recede from us.
How fast do objects go in free fallouter space?
Objects in free fall in outer space can reach very high speeds, limited only by the acceleration due to gravity and lack of air resistance. The speed depends on the gravitational force of the celestial body they are falling towards. For example, objects in free fall towards Earth's surface reach a speed of about 9.8 m/s².
Did Aristotle believe all objects fall at the same rate of speed?
No, Aristotle believed that different objects fall at different rates of speed based on their weight. He thought that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. This view was later disproven by Galileo's experiments on gravity.
Who was the Greek philosopher who proposed that the speed at which an object falls is proportional to its mass?
Aristotle was the Greek philosopher who proposed that the speed at which an object falls is proportional to its mass. He believed that heavier objects would fall faster than lighter objects, which was later proven inaccurate by Galileo's experiments on free fall.
What was Aristotle's theory of motion?
Aristotle beleived that motion involved a change from potentiality to actuality. He proposed that the speed at which two identically shaped objects sink or fall is directly proportional to their weights and inversely proportional to the density of the medium through which they move.
Reasons why Aristotle stated that force is directly proportional to velocity?
Aristotle stated that force is directly proportional to velocity because he believed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects due to the increase in force acting on them. He used this observation to support his theory that the speed at which objects fall is determined by the amount of force (or weight) they possess.
What was Aristotle's law of motion?
Aristotle believed v = k(F/R) where speed is proportional to motive force, and inversely proportional to resistance.
According to Aristotle an object with no forces in it will?
An object with no forces in it will eventually stop moving, according to Aristotle. Aristotle was a Greek philosopher. He was born in 384 BCE.
What was aristotles view on motion?
Aristotle believed that all motion required a mover and that natural motion was caused by inherent tendencies in objects to seek their natural place. He distinguished between natural motion (up and down) and violent motion (forced movement). Aristotle also argued that an object's speed of motion was proportional to the force acting upon it.
What are the contribution of Aristotle in motion?
Aristotle's ideas were believed to be true from 500 BC to 1600 CE. That's about 1,100 years of false knowledge. What Aristotle taught, appeared to be correct because it seemed obvious, but not all things are obvious. Aristotle's view on motion seems to make sense. Unfortunately, it isn't correct. But because his theories appeared to make sense, they became popular and well accepted for a very long time. The key ideas that Aristotle tried to teach were: All motion on the Earth is linear . All motion in the heavens (outer space) is curved . The speed at which an object falls is directly related to the mass of an object . Motion could be considered in two main factions: natural and violent. Motion continues so long as there is only an applied motion to an object. Removing the motion stops the object. It would take a man named Galileo to start the wheels of change in this field of knowledge called physics. Galileo, unlike Aristotle, proved that motion to the Earth does not depend on the weight of an object. All objects fall to the ground at the same speed. So you see, the speed at which an object falls at has nothing to do with the mass of the object. All objects that are released from the same starting point reach the ground in the same time. Galileo proved Aristotle wrong. He proved the concept of what is called force and mass.
Do all objects fall to the earth at the same speed?
no depening on how heavy it is that's the speed it will go. information by wwtpody:)
What does gravity do to objects that fall toward earth?
Gravity pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate as they fall. This acceleration increases their speed until they reach the ground or another surface.
Time difference of objects at speed of light compared to time on earth?
If you observe a clock moving past you at the speed of light, it will appear to you to have stopped.
How was Aristotle's dynamic motion theory proven wrong?
Aristotle's dynamic motion theory was proven wrong by a man named Galileo. He tested Aristotle's theory by dropping a heavy object and a lighter object at the same time. The experiment proved Aristotle wrong because the result was that the two objects were falling at the same rate (speed).
