Why does space shuttle need thrust?
To move? Search "thrust" in google
How does a space shuttle get into the air?
with thrust
How many pounds of thrust does the space shuttle produce during liftoff?
The space shuttle produced about 7.8 million pounds of thrust during liftoff.
How much thrust for space shuttle to break orbit?
The space shuttle's main engines provided approximately 418,000 pounds of thrust each, and the solid rocket boosters provided an additional 1.3 million pounds of thrust each. Together, this allowed the space shuttle to break Earth's orbit and reach space.
How is the power of the space shuttle measured?
In Thrust, the power of a normal launch is about 30 million newtons of Thrust to launch into orbit.
Do shuttle astronauts cease to hear engine thrust sounds once the shuttle and rockets exceed the speed of sound?
yes
What is the amount of energy required for a space shuttle take off?
7,000,000 pounds of thrust.
How does a parachute help stop the space shuttle?
It increases the amount of drag, since the space shuttle doesn't have thrust reversers like an airliner would.
What are the forces acting on space shuttle?
The forces acting on a space shuttle during its flight include thrust, drag, gravity, and lift. Thrust is generated by the shuttle's rocket engines, propelling it upward. Gravity acts downward, pulling the shuttle towards Earth, while drag opposes its motion through the atmosphere. Lift, generated by the shuttle's wings, helps counteract gravity during ascent and assists in controlled descent.
How much thrust does the space shuttle require to lift off?
about 7.2 million pounds of thrust (Solid Rocket Boosters and Main Engines combined)
Horse power is in a space shuttle?
Horsepower is not used in space shuttles. Instead, the thrust produced by the engines is measured in Newtons or pounds-force. This thrust is essential for propelling the shuttle into space and overcoming Earth's gravity.
How many tons of thrust does a space shuttle need in order to take off?
It takes 35000 tons of force to pull out the Earth's atmoshpere and 83000000000 tons to pull out of Jupiter
