On a wheel and axle where would you apply force to make a greater force?

Probably on the axle??


If you were in outer space and threw a ball how much force would be required to keep it moving through the vacuum of space?

In space, there is no air resistance to slow down an object in motion, so once you give the ball an initial push or force, it will keep moving at a constant velocity without any additional force needed to overcome friction or resistance.


Which simple machine is a doorknob?

A doorknob is a type of wheel and axle simple machine. It allows a person to apply force at the outer edge (wheel) to turn the central shaft (axle) which operates the latch mechanism to open or close the door.


Why is the outer bank of the road kept slightly higher than the inner bank?

while taking turn on the road,a car moves in a circular path to keep the car moving along the circular path, centripetal force is required. in the absence of this force, the car will skid off the road to the outer size of the road and may possibly turn turtle due to inertia .the force of friction between the tires and roads provides the necessary centripetal force and keeps the car moving on the curved path.


What are the moving pieces in the outer shell that break up into more than a dozen moving pieces called?

The moving pieces in the outer shell that break up into more than a dozen moving pieces are tectonic plates. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and are constantly shifting, causing events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Why a force is applied at right angles to heavy doors at its outer edge while closing or opening it?

If you apply force to the outer edge of the door, this gives you the most leverage.


Do things slow down as quickly in outer space as it does on Earth?

Usually not. To slow a moving object down, some force must act on the moving object. On Earth, this force is usually friction. In outer space, there is no significant amount of friction, so moving objects tend to continue moving, unless they are slowed down by OTHER forces, such as gravity.


What a moving object in outer space slow down?

Most objects in outer space are moving under the gravitational attraction of other galaxies or galactic clusters. The attractive force speeds them up rather than slows them down.


Do Newton's Laws of Motion apply in outer space?

Yes, the laws of motion apply in outer space.

Does an electron lose or gain energy while moving up and down an energy level?

depends. Moving from an inner level to an outer level, the e- absorbs energy. Moving from an outer level to an inner level, the e- loses energy.


Is outer space moving?

Yes it is. To be more accurate, it's expanding.


Does static electricity exist in moving nebula cloud in outer space?

no

Is it possible that the outer core will stop moving?

It is not only possible---it will stop moving at some point in the far distant future.


What force keeps the outer planets together?

Gravity and inertia.
