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

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.

Which characteristic distinguishes dwarf planets from planets?

Really, the best way to differ between a dwarf and regular planet is by looking at their size, and comparing it to Mercury's size, which is our smallest Planet. The size difference is usually obvious, but in some cases, you may need to refer to an actual chart because of how big that small dwarf planet may be.See the related link for definition


What is required to change velocity of an object?

In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be 0 N. According, to Newton's second law, ΣF = ma where ΣF is the sum of forces m is mass a is acceleration If the acceleration is not 0, then the object is not traveling at a constant velocity. In order for a to equal 0, the sum of forces must be 0 because by solving Newton's second law for a, we get a=ΣF/m If ΣF is not 0, then that equation will never allow a to equal 0 and the object will b accelerating. Therefore, the sum of forces must equal 0 for an object to travel with constant velocity.

How fast does a space shuttle travel while in orbit?

A space shuttle travels at an average speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) while in orbit around the Earth. This high speed is essential to balance the force of gravity and maintain a stable orbit.


When an item is traveling at a constant speed what must be true about the forces acting on that object?

You can't tell anything about them from the speed alone. Constant speed aloneisn't enough to tell that there are no forces on the object. The best example isa planet in a circular orbit around the sun. Its speed is constant, even thoughthere's a substantial gravitational force between it and the sun.When an item is traveling at a constant speed and also in a straight line, thenthe forces acting on it must either be nonexistent or must add up to zero.


The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit in space is?

The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit in space is called orbital velocity. It depends on the altitude of the desired orbit and the mass of the body being orbited. In general, orbital velocity is around 28,000 km/h for low Earth orbit.

The space shuttle releases a satellite into a circular orbit 600 km above the Earth How fast must the shuttle be moving relative to Earth when the release occurs?

This depends on the type of shuttle and its orbit. The speed can differ from satellite to satellite, therefore a definite answer can not be given about the exact speed of shuttle while it releases satellite.


Where must an organism be located in order to orbit the earth?

An organism must be in outer space, typically above the Kármán line at an altitude of 100 km, to orbit the Earth. This is where the conditions are right for an object to remain in orbit due to the balance between its speed and gravitational pull.


The speed that must be reached by a satellite or spacecraft for it to go into orbit is called?

Escape velocity


What happens if the object its speed is less than 7900 ms but must attain a speed of 7900 ms to achieve low orbit. What happens if the object its maximum speed is less than 7900m per second?

If an object's speed is less than 7900 m/s but needs to attain that speed for a low orbit, it will not be able to achieve a stable orbit and will either continue traveling in a suborbital trajectory or fall back to Earth depending on its initial velocity. If the object's maximum speed is less than 7900 m/s, it will not be able to reach low Earth orbit and will not be able to maintain a stable orbital path.


What speed must a space shuttle get to escape earth's orbit?

A spacecraft travelling at approximately 25,000 miles per hour can escape Earth's orbit. This speed is known as the escape velocity and allows the spacecraft to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth.

What are two criteria needed for a space object to be considered a planet?

Two criteria for a space object to be considered a planet are: (1) it must orbit the Sun, and (2) it must have enough mass for its gravity to pull it into a roughly spherical shape. Additionally, it must have cleared its orbit of other debris.


Where does the rocket go when it is in space?

Like any other satellite, including the Moon, it stays up by centripetal force. Like a weight being whirled around your head on a string it would fly off in straight line if the force holding it in were to disappear. With the weight, this force is the tug of the string. With the space station it's gravity. The speed of the space station is just sufficient to keep it from falling to Earth, but also not so great that it would fly off into space. If the speed of the space station were to drop, it would fall to Earth.
