A sonic boom occurs when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound, creating a shock wave. Sonic booms are typically heard when military aircraft break the sound barrier. The frequency of hearing a sonic boom can vary depending on flight paths, air traffic regulations, and aircraft speeds.

A car would not be able to reach outer space as it lacks the necessary speed and propulsion to overcome Earth's gravity and atmospheric conditions. Outer space begins approximately 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth's surface, which is well beyond the reach of a car's capability.

Columbia holds the record for the longest shuttle mission in November 1996. This lasted 17 days, 15 hours, 53 minutes and 18 seconds. Columbia was destroyed in January 2003. Of the remaining shuttles, the record is held by Endeavour, with a flight lasting 16 days, 15 hours, 8 minutes, and 48 seconds.

With no atmosphere and no magnetic field, the Moon's surface is exposed directly to the solar wind. Over its 4 billion year lifetime many ions from the solar wind have become embedded in the Moon's regolith. Thus samples of regolith returned by the Apollo missions proved valuable in studies of the solar wind

Kennedy Space Center in Florida is the preferred option. Edwards Airforce Base in California is the next site to be utilized if landing in Florida is unsafe, usually because of poor visibility or high winds. On one occasion only, a shuttle landed at White Sands in New Mexico, and this is the third option.Globally, there is a network of emergency landing sites, none of which have yet been used. See the link below.

The first sonic boom is created by the shock wave coming off the front of the aircraft. The aircraft displaces a large volume of air, and creates a vacuum trailing the craft. The tail end of this vacuum cavity creates a second shock wave. On smaller aerodynamic craft, the cavity might be right behind the tail of the craft, and the separation between the shock fronts is not enough to be able to discern them as distinct booms. On larger and faster aircraft, the cavity can trail significantly behind the tail, and thus create a significant enough separation that two distinct booms are heard.

A water rocket flies by using pressurized air to push water out of the rocket's nozzle. As the water is expelled, it creates a reaction force that propels the rocket in the opposite direction, following Newton's third law of motion. The aerodynamic design of the rocket also helps to stabilize its flight.

A sonic boom occurs when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1). The sound waves generated by the aircraft compress and accumulate, creating a shockwave that is heard on the ground as a loud noise.

No, the International Space Station is not equipped with a self-destruct mechanism. It is a collaborative effort involving multiple countries and its primary purpose is for scientific research and international cooperation in space.

If we start from newtons third law, we can get the idea of action and reaction is equal and opposite It is its' fuel ejection that enables the rocket to fly forward.

P=MV But here mass is decreasing due to the consumption of fuel thus, we are now flying at P= (M-m)V WHERE M grater than (M-m) hence the rocket clearly is moving at a constantly decreasing mass with constant velocity. therefore it clearly accelerates as time goes.

While space shuttle Columbia was lifting off, a piece of Styrofoam the size of a briefcase fell on its wing. It made a hole in it. While reentering Earth's atmosphere, heat got inside the wing. It started making engines offline at mission control and the space shuttle disintegrated over Texas. Everyone died on Columbia. (I don't know how they would survive anyway)

The space shuttle orbits the Earth before landing to reduce its speed and align with the runway. This allows for a controlled descent and landing. Additionally, re-entering the Earth's atmosphere gradually helps dissipate the intense heat generated by friction.

If there never had been space probes astronomers couldn't have landed on the moon. The very first space probes were used to study earth from outer space. The space probe was the reason how astronemers found out that venus was very hot. I gave 3

it depends on what type of spacecraft trying to get into lunar orbit,on Apollo,they first went into a trans lunar injenction(TLI)from earth,once there near the moon,they turn round facing earth and burn fuel until there in lunar orbit

• Magic Kingdom - 28 MPH
• Disneyland - 32 MPH
• Tokyo Disneyland - 30 MPH
• Disneyland Paris - 47 MPH
• Hong Kong Disneyland - 32 MPH

Astronauts typically receive resupply missions every few months. These missions bring new food, equipment, experiments, and other supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) to support the crew's needs and ongoing research.

A bottle rocket flies due to the rapid release of pressurized air from inside the bottle. When water and air pressure build up inside the bottle and are released through the nozzle, the resulting thrust propels the bottle rocket into the air.

It would take a space shuttle several years to reach Pluto from the US. The exact duration would depend on the speed of the spacecraft and its trajectory. Current technology would require several decades to make such a journey.

The time it takes to reach Venus from Earth varies depending on the specific trajectory used for the journey. On average, a spacecraft can reach Venus in about 3-4 months using a Hohmann transfer orbit. However, advanced propulsion systems or direct transfer orbits could reduce the travel time.

The lined space next to a handicapped parking space is designated as an access aisle and is meant to provide additional space for a wheelchair or mobility device to be loaded and unloaded from a vehicle. This area needs to be kept clear to ensure accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

A space station stays in space through a combination of its orbital velocity, which counteracts the pull of gravity, and periodic boosts to maintain its trajectory. The station's speed ensures that it continually falls toward Earth but keeps missing it due to its forward motion. By carefully managing its velocity and course, the space station can stay in orbit for an extended period.

The tiles used to protect the space shuttle during re-entry are made of a special type of ceramic material called LI-900. These tiles are designed to withstand the extreme heat generated during re-entry and prevent the shuttle's structure from overheating.
