they do not float. They are spinning with a certain velocity. First of all the satellites when launched are propelled through air at a speed equal or greater than its escape velocity.They then have a certain linear velocity but are able to maintain a lunar synchronous orbit because of the earth's gravity.
What else can I help you with?
What will happen if gravity didin't exist?
If gravity did NOT exist, then we all would be floating in mid air and would float into things, like airplanes. Plus, then if we fall, we would be in outerspace. COOL!
Who invented the satillite?
The concept of using satellites to communicate and observe Earth was pioneered by scientists and engineers from multiple countries in the mid-20th century. One of the key figures in this field was the American engineer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke, who proposed the idea of geostationary communication satellites in a 1945 paper. However, the first artificial satellite launched into space was Sputnik 1, a Soviet spacecraft, in 1957.
How many satellites orbit the planet Venus?
Venus has no natural satellites. The Soviet Union launched four Venera orbiting probes in the mid-1980s which may still be in orbit, although they stopped transmitting years ago. I believe that the US also has a probe remaining in Venus orbit.
Do all clouds float at the same height?
No, clouds do not all float at the same height; they can vary significantly in altitude. For example, low clouds like stratus and cumulus typically form between 1,000 to 6,500 feet, while mid-level clouds such as altostratus and altocumulus are found between 6,500 and 20,000 feet. High clouds like cirrus can form above 20,000 feet. The height of clouds is influenced by factors like temperature, humidity, and atmospheric conditions.
Why do astronauts float around in the shuttle instead of falling?
They are falling ! As you see them on TV floating around in the shuttle (or outside it), they are falling towards the earth. So is the shuttle, at exactly the same acceleration, which is why they seem to hover in mid-air; they are moving exactly in time with the shuttle. In fact, shuttle and astronauts are both moving; pretty fast, too, around 18,000 mph. And that is the big secret as to why they don't crash to earth. They are falling towards the earth's surface, but the surface of the earth is curved. Because they are travelling around the earth, it's surface is receding from them, and it just happens to be moving away at the same rate as the shuttle (and contents) are falling towards it. This is called an orbit, and it doesn't really "just happen"; the engineers who program the launch vehicle take some trouble to get the final velocity just right to achieve the orbit that they want.
Can a passenger plane float in mid air?
no
Can fire float in mid air?
Fire itself cannot float in mid-air. It is pulled by gravity towards the ground just like everything else.
How do you float in mid-air?
There are places you can go and pay for sessions in a room where the floor is undustrial fans. When you lie down you float in mid-air. It's very expensive though - I saw on television.
How do you walk on air when you get the Golden Hammer in a brawl in SSBB?
just walk off the stage and you will float in mid air
Is it possible for an object to float in mid air using only gyroscopic precession ( no propelling mechanism )?
No.
Is it possible for an object to float in mid-air using only gyroscopic precession ( no propelling mechanism whatsoever )?
No.
How do you float in mid air like Criss Angel?
you need a 100 foot tall crane with thin wires in broad daylight
Explain gravity on earth in regards to different masses?
if their was no gravity on earth everything would be floating around in the air and us humans would have no physical control of ourselves. Why do you think astronauts are able to float around in mid in outer space because their is no gravity.
How do you put items in forge to stay in mid air in halo 3 forge?
you put the object you want to float on another object and then you sell the object underneath
Do small things float?
Whether small things float or not depends on their density. If the density of an object is less than the density of the fluid it is placed in (such as water), then it will float. However, if the density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid, it will sink.
How many magnets to float 400 pounds in mid air?
It is not a question of how many magnets you need, one would do; but how strong the field is and how strongly it attracts the 400 pound object.
Can a plane reverse?
Certain airplanes such as the Harrier, can float still, spin and reverse in mid air. This is due to vector thrust engines that have rotating exhausts and louvers that can be pointed downward
