Why does the total weight of the shuttle decrease in the first 20 seconds?
its weight decreases since most of that weight is fuel and is being burnt off to get lift
Does the weight of an apple increase decrease or remain constant when taken to the top of mountain?
the weight will decrease
How much does endeavor weigh?
The Endeavor space shuttle weighs 296,576 pounds.
Does your weight change when elevator goes down?
Yes, your weight appears to decrease slightly when an elevator goes down. This is because you and the elevator experience a decrease in acceleration as the elevator descends, which temporarily reduces the force acting on your body and hence, your perceived weight.
How can you change the weight of an object?
You can change the weight of an object by altering its mass or the force acting on it. Increasing the mass of the object will increase its weight, while decreasing the force acting on it will decrease its weight.
Why does the total weight of the shuttle decrease in the first 20 seconds?
its weight decreases since most of that weight is fuel and is being burnt off to get lift
Why do the SRB's drop off the shuttle?
The Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) drop off the space shuttle to reduce weight and allow the shuttle to continue its journey using its main engines. Once the SRBs have burned out their fuel, they are jettisoned to prevent excess weight and drag during ascent.
Why would the nose encounter more intense heat than other parts of the shuttle during reentry?
The nose of the shuttle encounters more intense heat then the rest of the shuttle during reentry because of the friction it encounters from the atmosphere. The nose of the shuttle has a small surface area for the with weight of the shuttle pushing it through the atmosphere. This leads to a more focus point of contract with the atmosphere.
What happens to metal railroad tracks during the heat of a summer day?
The rails expand during the heat of a summer day.
What was the weight of the space shuttle?
Empty weight 78,000 kg
Do most airport shuttle services allow unlimited baggage weight?
Airport shuttle services do not have unlimited baggage weight. There are limits to weight and fees for going over the weight limit.
Why did they stop painting the large fuel tank on the space shuttle?
The large fuel tank of the space shuttle was painted white to protect it from thermal damage during launch and re-entry. However, engineers found that the weight of the paint added extra weight to the shuttle, reducing its payload capacity. Therefore, they stopped painting the fuel tank to save weight and increase efficiency.
Is weight loss is a sign of pregnancy?
Yes it is right weight loss is sign of pregnancy, but not always. During pregnancy, decrease nausea and vomiting is a big reason of weight loss.
Why all the fuel is dumped by shuttle before Reentry into the earth's atmosphere?
I didn't know that it was - but I would imagine they would do so to reduce the weight of the shuttle so it does not re-enter the atmosphere too quickly. If the fuel is something like liquid oxygen it would have no ill effects on the atmosphere. == They dump fuel to reduce shuttle weight so it can decelerate faster in the Earth's atmosphere. It doesn't slow due to the dumping itself.
What are the two forces acting when a space shuttles take off?
The two forces acting on a space shuttle during take off and throughout its ascent through the atmosphere are Thrust and Weight. Moreover, there is also a drag force in the direction of the weight, i.e., opposite to the motion of the space shuttle. Hope that's what you were looking for. :)
How much does a space shuttle weigh at liftoff?
A space shuttle's weight at liftoff is approximately 4.5 million pounds.
Does a person weight increase or decrease if they were to weight themselves on the moon?
It decreases
