The speed of light, depending on how much momentum an object has. Nothing can surpass the speed of light. the Speed of light is exactly 186,282 miles per second, or 299,792,458 metres per second. Let's imagine a scenario. A meteor is racing through space at the speed of light. If said meteor were to crash into an object, then said meteor will lose most its momentum. As some of the kinetic energy from the meteor is transferred to the object it hit, another meteor, for example, then the first meteor should be travelling at a slower pace, where as the secondary meteor should now be travelling faster than before it got hit, unless of course, both meteors were travelling at the Speed of light, in which case, they should both be flung backwards at the same speed.
To conclude, objects and the Speed of light limit the speed of an object in space.
What else can I help you with?
Is the speed of sound the same in air as it is in outer space?
There is no sound in space. Sound is a wave of energy passing through matter that we can hear, and in space, there is no matter for the sound to pass through, or at least the gasses that are there aren't close enough together.
How long does it take to get to Earth from outer space?
The time it takes to travel from outer space to Earth depends on the distance and speed of the spacecraft. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to return to Earth from outer space.
What two factors indicate the velocity of an object in motion?
The magnitude and direction of an object's velocity indicate the speed and movement of the object. The magnitude represents the speed of the object, while the direction depicts the object's movement in space.
How do we describe the motion an object?
The motion of an object can be described by its speed - how fast it is moving, its velocity - the speed and direction of its movement, and its acceleration - how its speed or direction is changing over time. These elements help define the object's motion in relation to time and space.
What are four ways to describe an objects motion?
Speed: How fast an object is moving. Direction: The path an object is following. Acceleration: How quickly an object's speed or direction is changing. Trajectory: The curved path or motion of an object through space.
Is an object on the surface earth sitting still relative to outer space?
No, it has the speed of the spinning earth.
On an automobile what is a governor?
It limits or controls the speed of an object.
When Working in outer space at what Speed does the space ship Travel?
This depends on the type of spaceship.
What is the safest top speed in space?
In space, there is no top speed as there is no friction to slow down an object. The speed of an object in space can theoretically keep increasing as long as there is a force propelling it. However, practical limitations such as fuel supply and structural integrity of the object would determine the safe speed for a spacecraft.
How is orbit and gravity related?
When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.
What limits the speed of an object dropped in air?
Friction ... no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time ... something has to move, and that continual process may create heat and friction.
Is the speed of sound the same in air as it is in outer space?
There is no sound in space. Sound is a wave of energy passing through matter that we can hear, and in space, there is no matter for the sound to pass through, or at least the gasses that are there aren't close enough together.

The initial speed that an object needs before it can leave a planet and go into space is known as?
This is referred to as the escape velocity. This is the speed that an object must reach in order to overcome the gravitational pull of the planet to make it into space.
What is use of Reverse osmosis plant?
Used to travel in outer space at the osmosis of speed of light.
What is the speed maintained by a rocket if it is launced in outer space so it will escape the earth's gravity?
According to most sources, the minimum speed needed to escape the Earth's gravity is 11.2km/s, so a rocket would need to travel at least this fast to get into outer space.
