Acceleration and motion work in a vacuum the same way as they do here -- except for the air (and other) resistance and the gravity of the earth. Let's look at a pair of examples and check things out. We can gain leverage through gravity and friction here on earth. We can bowl. If you try to bowl in space, you'll be moving away from the ball as it is moving away from you. The ball would be doing most of the moving, but you would be doing some. If you hit a Table Tennis ball here on earth, it slows down dramatically as it moves across the table and past the net. In space, it would not slow down at all due to the aerodynamic forces of air on it like here. Your "kill shot" would rocket away and not slow down.
What else can I help you with?
When an meteorite moves in space is work done?
No. Space is a vacuum, and therefore no work is exerted on the meteorite. The above answer is incorrect. Anytime a MASS is moved over a distance, work has been done...by definition of Work (as in Physics). Without gravity an object does not have any weight, BUT it still has Mass. A Force was required to initiate the motion, but without gravity and in a vacuum the motion continues indefinitely without additional Forces acting on the Mass. In the absence of addition force there will be NO Acceleration. The work being done is still: MASS x Distance = Work
Where does an ion drive work?
Ion engines only work in the vacuum of space.
Would propellers work in space?
Propellers would not work in space because they rely on the presence of air to generate thrust through the movement of blades. In the vacuum of space, there is no air or atmosphere to create the necessary lift. Instead, spacecraft use rocket engines that expel gas at high speed to produce thrust, adhering to Newton's third law of motion. Thus, while propellers are effective in atmospheric conditions, they are impractical for the vacuum of space.
How does the space vacuum cleaner work to clean up debris and dust in the vacuum of space?
The space vacuum cleaner works by using suction to collect debris and dust in the vacuum of space. It operates similarly to a regular vacuum cleaner, but is designed to function in the unique conditions of space, where there is no air to create traditional suction. Instead, the vacuum cleaner uses specialized technology to create a vacuum and collect debris and dust particles.
Force equals mass times what?
Acceleration. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. This relationship is represented by the equation F = ma.
How do force motion and acceleration work together?
Force is a push or pull applied to an object, which can cause the object to accelerate. Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. In the context of motion, force is what causes acceleration, which in turn changes the object's velocity.
Why can'y space ships use propellers to move in space?
Propellers rely on air or water to generate thrust, but space is a vacuum with no air. In space, vehicles use thrusters that expel propellant in the opposite direction to move forward. This method follows Newton's third law of motion.
Does a vacuum cleaner work in space?
No. First of all it wouldn't stay on the ground. and why would you need to vacuum?A vacuum cleaner depends on a difference in air pressure to operate. With no air pressure in space, there could be no difference in air pressure and thus no operation.Inside a manned spacecraft, which is usually pressurized a vacuum cleaner will obviously work just fine; especially for collecting and disposing of water globules. Also the standard NASA space toilet uses a modification of a vacuum cleaner for urine collection.
Do microphones work in the vacuum of space?
No, traditional microphones rely on air particles to transmit sound waves and would not work in the vacuum of space. In space, there is no medium for sound to travel through, so traditional microphones would not pick up any sound. Specialized equipment is needed to capture or transmit sound in the vacuum of space.
When was space vacuum discovered?
The concept of space being a vacuum has been understood for centuries, but it was not until the 17th century, with the work of scientists like Galileo and Torricelli, that the idea of a true vacuum in space began to take shape. The discovery and understanding of the vacuum of space has been an ongoing process and continues to be explored through advancements in technology and scientific research.
Why wouldn't you be able to hear a sound in outer space?
sound doesn't work a vacuum
What would be the effect of doing some work on a moving object?
Its speed of motion, or its direction of motion, or both, would change. In general, the change would be described as 'acceleration'.
