The forces acting on a space shuttle during its flight include thrust, drag, gravity, and lift. Thrust is generated by the shuttle's rocket engines, propelling it upward. Gravity acts downward, pulling the shuttle towards Earth, while drag opposes its motion through the atmosphere. Lift, generated by the shuttle's wings, helps counteract gravity during ascent and assists in controlled descent.
What else can I help you with?
What are the two forces acting when a space shuttles take off?
The two forces acting on a space shuttle during take off and throughout its ascent through the atmosphere are Thrust and Weight. Moreover, there is also a drag force in the direction of the weight, i.e., opposite to the motion of the space shuttle. Hope that's what you were looking for. :)
What forces act on a space shuttle when it lands?
When a space shuttle lands, the main forces acting on it are gravitational force, aerodynamic drag, and the thrust from any retro rockets or thrusters being used. Additionally, the landing gear and brakes may also generate frictional forces as they slow down the shuttle.
What are the forces acting on space shuttle during lift off?
The Earth's gravity primarily, plus atmospheric friction though that rapidly falls with altitude.
What forces are acting on a shuttle as it sits on the launch pad?
The main forces acting on a shuttle on the launch pad are the gravitational force pulling it downwards, the normal force exerted by the ground pushing it upwards, and possibly wind resistance. Additionally, the rocket engines may be applying a thrust force in preparation for launch.
What does a space shuttle feel like?
A space shuttle feels like a smooth ride during liftoff with a sense of acceleration and increased G-forces. Once in space, the shuttle feels weightless and the sensation is often described as floating. Reentry can feel turbulent and intense as the shuttle reenters the Earth's atmosphere.

Is gravity acting on a person inside the space shuttle?
yes. How else would the space shuttle stay in orbit?
What forces are needed to lift a space shuttle into space?
Upthrust is needed to lift a shuttle up RG

What are the forces like when a space shuttle leaves the earth?
Forces of Motion. As far as I have known, it is when the space shuttle leaves the earth, it is pushed upwards by the opposite side of the shuttle whenerer it is going to leave. Answered by: SAV
WHAT are the physics behind space shuttle in enchanted kingdom?
The space shuttle ride in Enchanted Kingdom utilizes the principles of mechanics and physics, specifically centripetal force and acceleration. The ride's movement creates a feeling of weightlessness and acceleration, mimicking the experience of space travel. Riders experience forces acting on their body as the shuttle moves along its circular path.

What kinds of forces do you think the space shuttle has to overcome?
Inertia and Earth's gravitational pull
What was the last space shuttle ever built?
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
The first space shuttle?
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
