Speed has no effect on you, and you can't even feel it. What you feel is changes in

either the speed or the direction of your motion. (Those changes are called "acceleration".)

Even on Earth, or at least near it, you can move at 500 mles per hour in an airliner, and it's

so smooth that you can read a book or doze off.

What is the definition of low earth orbit?

An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.


If a space vehicle is designed to orbit around the earth very slowly should it be put into a low or high orbit?

A space vehicle designed to orbit the Earth slowly should be put into a low orbit. Low Earth orbit allows for slower orbital speeds compared to higher orbits, making it more suitable for vehicles designed to move slowly. Additionally, low orbit provides easier access for communication, resupply, and potential crew rescue missions.


What is the maximum wind speed a normal roof can withstand?

A normal roof can typically withstand wind speeds of about 90-100 miles per hour. However, the exact wind resistance of a roof depends on various factors such as the type of roofing material, roof pitch, and how well the roof is installed. It is important to ensure that your roof is properly constructed and maintained to withstand high wind speeds.


How do man made satillites orbit earth?

Man-made satellites orbit Earth by achieving a balance between gravitational pull and their forward momentum. When a satellite is launched, it is accelerated to a high speed, allowing it to enter a trajectory where the curvature of its path matches the curvature of the Earth. This creates a stable orbit, where the satellite continuously falls towards Earth due to gravity but also moves forward fast enough to keep missing it. The altitude and speed determine the type of orbit, such as low Earth orbit (LEO) or geostationary orbit.


Are MEO HEO and GEO - elliptical orbits?

MEO (Medium Earth Orbit), HEO (High Earth Orbit), and GEO (Geostationary Orbit) are all circular orbits. Each of these orbits have specific altitudes and characteristics that make them ideal for different types of satellites and missions.

What are 3 thing rockets have to withstand?

Rockets have to withstand extreme temperatures during launch and reentry, intense vibrations during liftoff, and high speeds as they travel through Earth's atmosphere and beyond.

Where would a satellite revolving around earth land if it crashed?

It will most likely burn up through the earths atmosphere on re-entry. The satellites travel at very high speeds, and are not designed to withstand the brunt of the earths atmosphere at the speeds at which they orbit the earth. You might get some bits left over, but these should be quite small. Operators try to land the satellite in the sea once it has reached the end of its life.


Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?

No. It is in low earth orbit.

Are satellites in high earth orbit pulled to earth by gravity?

yes.


What are satellites traveling around the earth?

Satellites are man-made objects that orbit around the Earth at high speeds following specific paths. They are used for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research.


What is the part of the spacecraft that protects from high temperatures of re entry?

The heat shield is the part of the spacecraft that protects it from the high temperatures experienced during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. It is designed to withstand the intense heat generated by friction as the spacecraft re-enters the atmosphere at high speeds.


How do you use 'orbit' in a short sentence?

As a noun: The rocket placed the satellite into a high Earth orbit. As a verb: The satellite had to travel very fast to orbit the Earth.


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.

If a space vehicle is designed to orbit the earth very slowly should it be into a low or high orbit?

High orbit, Gravity weakens as you move away from its source, and although less centripetal force is needed to maintain larger circlular paths at a given speed gravity weakens at a greater rate.
