Explain why a space shuttle will stay in in orbit around the earth and will not fall to the earth?
The space shuttle is traveling at a speed such that its fall to earth matches the curvature of the earth. As a result, it is "falling" to the earth at the same rate that the earth's surface is rotating away, so it stays in orbit.
Which part of a space shuttle orbits the Earth?
The entire space shuttle orbits the Earth, not just a specific part. The shuttle moves around the Earth in a controlled manner, following a specific trajectory set by its thrusters and guidance systems.
The Space Shuttle takes off like a ............flies around the earth like a........... and lands like an?
the space shuttle takes off like a rocket flies around the earth like a bird and lands like an airoplane
How often does the space shuttle circle Earth?
It takes 90 min to go around the earth in space.
As the space shuttle orbits the Earth the shuttle and the astronauts accelerate towards the Earth with the same acceleration What effect does this create?
This is known as free fall or microgravity. In this state, astronauts and objects inside the shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness because they are falling at the same rate as the shuttle around the Earth, creating the illusion of being in a state of weightlessness.

What is the weight of 54kg in newtons on earth?
54kg in newtons on earth weighs 529.2 newtons.
What is weight in kg on the moon if you weigh 545 newtons?
If your weight on Earth is 545 newtons then on the moon your weight will be 1/6 as much or about 9.6kg

Why must the space shuttle go so fast?
The space shuttle needs to go fast in order to reach orbit around the Earth. By going fast, the shuttle can overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and enter into a stable orbit where it remains in space. This speed is necessary to counteract the pull of gravity and maintain a continuous state of freefall around the Earth.
Horse power is in a space shuttle?
Horsepower is not used in space shuttles. Instead, the thrust produced by the engines is measured in Newtons or pounds-force. This thrust is essential for propelling the shuttle into space and overcoming Earth's gravity.
What is the mass of 504 newtons?
On earth, 504 newtons equates to about 51.4kg or 113 pounds. Dividing newtons by 9.8 gives you the mass (on earth) in kilograms.
How fast can a space shuttle go?
A space shuttle can reach speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,164 kilometers per hour) when in orbit around the Earth. This velocity allows the shuttle to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and remain in a stable orbit around the planet.
What would an object that is 1 newtons on earth be on the moon?
One Newton on Earth is about 0.1653 newtons on the moon.
