12,000 mph is very wrong the speed is a lot closer to 17,500 mph

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
The ideal learning space should have all what EXCEPT?
The ideal learning space should include changing space with mood lighting, different seating patterns, playful spaces, and must be comfortable.
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.
A car is traveling down a straight road Which of Newton's laws must be put into effect to cause the car to follow a curve in the road?
The First Law.
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.
What speed must a space shuttle get to escape earth's orbit?
i think you mean atmosphere they normally go about 200,000 miles an hour when leaving earths atmosphere
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit in space is?
The velocity of rocket must reach 16x than the gravitational force of Earth to establish an orbit in space.
Why does the space shuttle flip when in flight?
The shuttle is traveling at a tremendous speed. In order to come out of orbit, the shuttle must slow down. When flipped backwards, the shuttle fires it's engines to slow down and enter the atmosphere. The shuttle begins to be slowed down by the atmosphere as it flips to a forward position for a proper landing.
Velocity is the speed and direction a rocket must have in order to orbit he earth?
save
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.
The speed that must be reached by a satellite or spacecraft for it to go into orbit is called?
Escape velocity
How fast does a space shuttle travel while in orbit?
The Shuttle must reach speeds of about 17,500 miles per hour to stay in orbit.
What conditions must astronauts prepare for when traveling to space?
No one being able to hear them scream.
Is the earths orbit faster than the speed of light?
We know that the answwer must be "No", simply because we know that NOTHING is faster than the speed of light.
How fast must you travel to reach the sun?
As fast as you'd like, but if you were traveling at the speed of light, you'd be there in about 8 minutes and 30 seconds. If you were traveling at a speed of about 60 miles per hour, you'd be there in about 167 years.
When passing another vehicle the driver must be traveling at what speed?
the safe and legal passing of another vehicle requires that drive
