How fast does a space shuttle need to be traveling when it leaves the earths atmosphere?
A space shuttle needs to reach a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour, known as orbital velocity, to successfully leave the Earth's atmosphere and enter space. This speed allows the shuttle to counteract the pull of Earth's gravity and achieve a stable orbit around the planet.
What is the scientific name of a magnifying glass?
The scientific name for a magnifying glass is a "convex lens." It typically consists of a simple lens that is thicker in the center than at the edges, which allows it to converge light rays and magnify objects. While "magnifying glass" is the common term, the underlying principle involves optics and lens design.
What would a parachute slow down a space shuttle on landing?
A parachute slows down the descent of a space shuttle by increasing air resistance, which creates drag and reduces the shuttle's speed as it approaches the ground. This gradual decrease in speed allows for a softer landing than if the shuttle were to descend rapidly without a parachute.
What is the height of the shuttle orbit?
The height of the typical space shuttle orbit is around 300 kilometers (186 miles) above the Earth's surface. This height allows the shuttle to orbit within the Earth's atmosphere yet still be in microgravity conditions.
What is the average speed of a space shuttle?
The average speed of a space shuttle in Earth's orbit is approximately 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour). This speed allows the shuttle to maintain its orbit around the Earth while traveling at a high velocity.
What scientific principle allows a slinky to move?
The impetus of gravity. They can only move down-hill.
Which scientific principle allows vacuum flasks to work?
Heat energy, like light energy, can be reflected by some materials. ~MVMMS

What is the principle of falsfifiability?
The principle of falsifiability states that any theory or hypothesis being tested must be stated in a way that allows the possibility for disproving, rejecting or showing as inaccurate that theory or hypothesis through scientific methods, techniques and procedures. If you state a hypothesis that renders it immune to any attempts for rejecting it via scientific methods, then you have violated the falsifiability principle and such hypotheses or theories are scientifically non-viable. You must make predictions that allow your hypothesis to be shown as incorrect.
What is the principle that allows people to predict and control their world?
Causality
What medium does the sound wave travel through to get from the shuttle?
We will assume you are asking about the Space Shuttle, a reusable spacecraft flown by NASA. While the shuttle is lifting off and in the atmosphere any sound generated by the shuttle will travel through the air. When the shuttle is in orbit there is no (or very very little) air and any sound that would have been generated by the shuttle will not be transmitted. There is a pressurized atmosphere within the shuttle that allows the voices of the astronauts to travel within the shuttle just as it does on the surface of the Earth.
Why does the space shuttle turn a few seconds after take off?
There are a number of reasons why the shuttle rolled to a "heads down" position with the crew cockpit facing down. This is the position the orbiter is in while in orbit. Many of the antennae the orbiter uses to communicate with the ground are located on the top of the orbiter. This "heads down" position maximizing performance of these communications. This also allows the the shuttle to reach the orbit required for its low earth orbit missions. After clearing the launch tower, the shuttle stack performs a roll and pitch set its orbital inclination to achieve low orbit. T We think of the shuttle launching upwards to reach orbit but acceleration is much more horizontal than vertical. This is required to reach the over 17,000 mph required to achieve low earth orbit.

What principle of government allows people to create and change the government?
popular sovereignty
Which constitutional principle allows for the legislature to veto items of the governor?
item veto
Which force in fluids described by Archimedes's principle allows objects to float?
buoyancy
Why is the canadarm a valuable tool?
It allows the astronauts of the Space Shuttle to manipulate large objects in and outside the cargo bay.
