The "vomit comet" is a nickname for aircraft used to simulate microgravity, typically by flying in parabolic arcs. During these flights, the aircraft experiences free fall, creating a sensation of weightlessness for passengers and objects inside. The relationship with mass comes into play as the effects of gravity on mass are temporarily negated during the free-fall segments, allowing participants to experience the conditions of reduced gravitational force. This phenomenon is crucial for training astronauts and conducting scientific experiments in a microgravity environment.
What else can I help you with?
A small mass of rock ice and frozen gases that orbits the sun is a?
Comet.
How did the vomit comet get its name?
The "Vomit Comet" is a nickname for the Zero Gravity Corporation's Boeing 727 aircraft, which creates weightlessness through parabolic flights. It got its name due to the intense forces and motion sickness experienced by some passengers during the flights, leading to occasional vomiting
What is an icy mass that orbits the sun called?
An icy mass that orbits the sun is called a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, and when they approach the sun, they form a glowing coma and tails due to heating and evaporation.
How does center of mass relate to dance?
Isaac has no friends
What mass of material with a long tail travels around the sun?
The mass of material with a long tail that travels around the sun is called a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. The tail of a comet is formed when it gets closer to the sun, and the heat causes the ice to vaporize and create a glowing tail. The mass of a comet can range from a few million kilograms to billions of kilograms.
Why it is important for astronauts to train in the Vomit Comet before going into space?
It is important cause they will vomit
What rhymes with grommet?
Some words that rhyme with "grommet" include "comet," "vomit," and "bonnet."
What is the nickname for the Zero G flight?
it is called vomit comet.
What rhymes with something that zooms through space and alcohol makes you do it?
comet-vomit
What is the life expectancy of a comet?
depends on its mass and speed
What is comet elenin?
It is supposed to be an "average" comet, but there is much speculation as to whether or not this is true. The mass of the object is still in question, and that helps promote the idea that it may not be a comet.
What is the vomit comet?
A "vomit comet" is an aeroplane that briefly achieves zero G, allowing people and prospective astronauts to experience weightlessness.In general, 65 seconds of flight will achieve 25 seconds of weightlessness.Weightlessness produces nausea and sickness (vomit) in two out of three people and thus the aeroplane earns it's nickname.Zero Gravity Corporation in the US, will allow you - for a fee (Probably including a cleaning change) - to experience this.See related link for more information
How much mass does Halley's comet contain?
I'm not entirely sure if this is precise, but Halley's Comet has about a mass of 2.2 x 10^14 kg, which is about 4.85 x 10^14 pounds.
What does the head of a comet do?
It doesn't 'do' anything. It contains the vast majority of the mass making up the comet. Gas and dust will 'boil' off when it approaches the sun giving the comet its distinct tail
Do comet always maintain the same mass. Explain?
Comets do not always maintain the same mass. As a comet travels through the solar system, it can lose mass due to the sublimation of its icy nucleus as it gets closer to the sun. This loss of mass can result in changes to the comet's appearance and behavior.
Can or has anyone came up with the technology of weightlessness on Earth?
Flying in a parabolic arc is the best we can do presently. Astronauts have to take such training aboard the "Vomit Comet"
How do chemical equations relate to conservation of mass?
The mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.
