Both would probably move away from each other, because the earth moves too.

Why can a spaceship move away from Earth?

A spaceship can move away from Earth due to the principle of inertia, which allows objects in motion to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. By firing its engines in the opposite direction of Earth, the spaceship can generate thrust that propels it away from the planet.


Would there be gravity on a space ship in open space moving at high speeds and if so in what direction would it move?

Yes, there would still be gravity on a spaceship in open space due to the ship's acceleration creating a force similar to gravity. The direction of this artificial gravity would be towards the floor of the spaceship, simulating the gravitational pull we experience on Earth.


How does a spaceship fly in space?

A spaceship flies in space by using thrusters to generate propulsion. By expelling mass in one direction, the spaceship experiences a reaction force in the opposite direction, allowing it to move forward. In space, there is no air resistance to slow the spaceship down, so it can continue moving at a constant speed until another force, like gravity or another thruster, acts upon it.


Is the moon a space ship?

Just because it's in space doesn't mean it is space ship. The solar moon flar


Which is true The more a star appears to move the farther it is from earth The less a star appears to move the farther it is from earth Stars that do not appear to move are very close to earth?

The less a star appears to move, the farther it is from Earth. Stars that do not appear to move are very far away from Earth, making their apparent motion negligible from our perspective due to the vast distances involved in space.

What does newton's first law predict for the motion of the motion of a spaceship in outer space assuming that is its means of propulsion is shut off?

The spaceship will move in a straight line at constant speed.


How do you tie up spaceship in space?

Well usually gravity holds it down such as orbit, or it just stays in space. In space there are not any forces acting then it will not move if the rocket is not travelling.


Does earth move in space?

Yes.


How do the earth move in space?

the gravity moves the Earth in a circle


If you were in a vehicle that could fly in air and in space could it fly slowly into space. The further you are from earth the less of a gravitational pull there is on you so I would say yes?

The reason rockets fly fast is to achieve orbital velocity. You could move howevery slowly you want and reach space. Gravity does weaken as you move away from earth but you would have to move very very far away before you would experience weightlessness if you are not in orbit.

What force keeps the earth in its orbit and stops it from flying off into space?

gravity pulls the earth into position so it doesn't move away and gravity is what holds us down onto the earth as well.


Can you see the earth move from outer space?

yes
