When the forward inertia of a projectile balances the downward pull of gravity the object is?
Your question isn't exactly stated correctly, but the result that I believe you are looking for is that, the object will be in Orbit around the Earth. This happens when the Centrifugal Force (outward from the rotation) balances out against the Pull of Gravity (Inward). For a body rotating about the Earth, the inward Force would be the Force of Gravity, which would account for the Centripetal Force. Gravity is 'taking the place of' the piece of string that holds an object in place when it is swung around in a circle.
After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?
There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.
What is a force that resists motion?
A force that resists motion is inertia.
What two motions combine to produce an orbit?
gravity and acceleration
The force that opposes the motion of an object?
Gravity. The inertia of an object will keep it moving until an opposing force stops it.Friction.Called inertia. To accelerate a body the force is mass times acceleration. No force = no acceleration. People say " the force is opposed by the massacceleration"
Result of the combination of an object's forward inertia and the downward pull of gravity on the object?
The path that the object takes to either strike the ground or to orbit the body.
What is it called when a satellite's inertia carries it forward while gravity pulls it downward?
A term often used in this case is free fall.
Result of the combination of an objects forward inertia and the downward pull of gravity on the object?
If there is no forces acting, it will continue horizontally at constant velocity, while uniformly accelerating vertically down , the effect of this would trace a parabolic curve
How does inertia and gravity combine to make the planets orbit the sun?
The sun's gravity is pulling the planets toward it and the planets inertia keeps them moving forward
Why do the earth revolve around the sun?
A combination of inertia and gravity.
How does a bicycle stay upright when moving?
A combination of inertia and centrifugal force. The wheels, once rotating, create centrifugal force which in conjunction with gravity cause the bicycle to move forward creating inertia. the more energy put into the bike via the drivetrain, the more inertia is created and the more stable the bike becomes.
What affects inertia?
Gravity affects inertia. The lower the gravity, the more inertia.
How are satellites able to orbit the earth?
Physics. Specifically, it's a combination of inertia and gravity.
Is inertia what makes a boat go downward when you stand up?
It's a combination of Inertia and Newton's third law of motion. The principle that can be applied is " for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Who explained that the combination of inertia and gravity cause the elliptical shapes of orbits?
Isaac Newton was his name.
If the moon did not have inertia as it travled around the earthwhat would happen?
If the moon suddenly decided to stop pusing forward (inertia), the balance between inertia and the earths gravity would cease and the moon would come crashing into us. :)
How does inertia affect gravity?
Inertia does not affect gravity, these are two entirely separate things, even though they both are produced by the same thing, which is mass. Mass creates both inertia and gravity, but inertia and gravity do not affect each other.
