What is the equation used to calculate the placement of an object into orbit?

Answer 1

An object in orbit is falling toward the Earth. Plus, it has some motion 'sideways'.

Remember that the Earth is shaped like a ball. The sideways motion of the object

is just enough so that the curve of the Earth 'falls away' just as fast as the object

falls. So the object keeps falling, but never gets any closer to the Earth.

Answer 2

The spacecraft must first start up its engines, but the space craft must reach Escape velocity, this means is lamest terms that the space craft reachs a speed were it can ecapse earths gravity, then it can reach earth orbit were from there it can go to outer space

Answer 3

An object is placed into orbit around the earth by acheiving a velocity of 7,814 meters per second for a low earth orbit.
Converted, this equals 17479.42 miles per hour.

Answer 4

An orbit is a regular,repeating path that one object in space takes around another one.
An object in on orbit is sometimes called called a satellite.

Answer 5

Our own natural satellite [the Moon]and many artificial man-made satellites are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of Earth

Answer 6

Any object that ORBITS the earth is classified as a satellite.

• The Moon is a natural satellite
• Man made satellites are classified as just satellites.

Answer 7

its not

its orbited around the sun. and its because gravity pulls it in but inertia or whatever pushes it out.

Answer 8

gravity and mass (all the things that make the planets weight).

Answer 9

That depends on what exactly you want to calculate.

Answer 10

the gravity holds it
