If you plot the distance that a space shuttle in orbit travels on the graph and it travels at a speed of 17580 miles per hour what is the slope of the graph?
17580
How many syllables are in the word shuttle?
The word shuttle has two syllables. (Shut-tle)
What is the scientific notation for the space shuttle?
The velocity of a space shuttle is 8 x 10^3 meters/seconds. Does that help?
How many miles can the space shuttle travel per hour?
It depends on the altitude of the orbit it is in. When the shuttle visits the ISS it is travelling at approximately 17,000 MPH. Incidentally the shuttle is due to make its last flight later this year (2010)
Why do the cargo bay doors have to be opened when the shuttle is in orbit?
To allow cooling of the Shuttle: The interior side of the two cargo bay doors are covered with radiators. Those radiators are connected to the overall cooling system of the Shuttle. These radiators have to be exposed to space (i.e. the doors have to be opened) to reject their heat and avoid overheating of the Shuttle subsystems. This is why the cargo bay doors are opened as soon as the Shuttle reaches its orbit, and are closed only shortly before re-entry.
What is a good pro shuttle time?
A good time in the professional shuttle in the NFL Combine is about 4.2 seconds. The distance is over and back over a distance of 20 yards.
When was the space shuttle 'Discovery' made?
Space shuttle Discovery was constructed between August 1979 and January 1983. After further testing, it was ready for its first flight which occurred on August 30th 1984.
Compare to the distance to the moon how far away is the space shuttle when in space from the earth?
The moon is at an estimated distance of 320 000 km from the Earth. The shuttle is on average 350 km form the surface of the earth... that means that the moon is about 915 times further away from the Earth then the space shuttle!
Which measurement best represents the distance of the orbiting space shuttle from Earth?
300 Kilometers
How much time will it take space shuttle to reach the nearest star from?
Easy calculation. Pick a star, look up the distance, divide that by 18,000 mph. (speed of the shuttle)
What is the total round trip distance traveled by space shuttle to the International Space Station?
yard
When was the first space shuttles built?
Enterprise was the first shuttle built, although it was not constructed to enter space but as a test vehicle. Construction began in 1974, and Enterprise was completed in 1976. The first completely space-worthy shuttle, Columbia, was constructed between 1975 and 1979.Actually, The first space shuttle/rocket was built/discovered in the 1300s by the Chinese. But they ended up using them as Chinese Fireworks instead. That idea was taken, tweaked a little and created the rockets/space shuttles that we have today. The Chinese made gunpowder on accident, but it came into use with these new Fireworks.
Why did they make space shuttles?
The Space Shuttle was constructed to allow more routine access into low earth orbit. Originally, NASA had planned to fly the shuttle 24 times a year launching multiple commercial and government payloads into orbit, but due to technical difficulties as well as the Challenger Disaster in 1986, the Shuttle became a science and space station construction platform until its retirement in 2011.
How far had the space shuttle 'Challenger' gotten before it disintegrated in flight?
The space shuttle had reached a distance of about ten miles (16 kilometers) above the earth, before it broke apart some 73 seconds into its flight.
How would it take to travel the distance of a light-year in a space shuttle?
Depends on how much thrust you give the shuttle. Assuming the shuttle leaves earth at escape velocity (11.2 km/s) then: 1 ly= 9,460,730,472,580.8 km divide 1 ly by the velocity: 844,708,077,909 seconds or 26767.7555 years
How long does it take for a shuttle travelling at 475 km per minute to reach Jupiter?
Divide the distance by the speed.
If you plot the distance that a space shuttle in orbit travels on the graph and it travels at a speed of 17580 miles per hour what is the slope of the graph?
17580
