Elliptic orbit

“Alright I am going to try and call Mom and Dad because they probably wonder how me and Elmar are doing.” I thought to myself as I dialed the phone and pressed the flashing green call button. “Beep, Beep,” The phone went to its recording “You may leave a message if you like, or press one for more options” “Mom, Dad, are you there, I know you are wondering where Elmar and me are. Well we are in space in a homemade rocket. Well you were gone, we built a little rocket. The rocket is really

Guide to Exoplanets Intro By exploring outer space, astronomers have found distant planets, called exoplanets. Properties of these planets can be determined by using various techniques and technology. The definition of an exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star outside our solar system. The first exoplanet was discovered in 1995. Nowadays techniques are becoming more refined and by using them predictions can be made based on the many data points that we have for these planets. For example the presence

There are four common ways for a human to be killed in space. Loss of life support. If a human being is not kept warm, nicely pressurized and fed with specific chemicals and oxygen, death comes quickly. Kinetic energy. Whether that means a thousand tons of rock plowing through a body at a few hundred kilometers per second or neutrons near light speed is almost irrelevant. How fine-grained the kinetic energy is makes just a minuscule difference. The human is dead anyway. Electromagnetic radiation

in the orbit. It stays on the orbit and circled round the sun. The days it takes for one circle of the Earth’s orbit is one year and move circled around. Our daily life can be break down as day and night. The difference between it is the sun. During the day, we have sunshine but not at the night. It is a rotate of the daily life. It will never change, there will not be one day is without sunshine. In some ways, the universal gravitation, and the principles of the planets stay in the orbit around

numerous contraptions into space such as satellites in which many currently orbit the Earth. These contraptions can be used for reconnaissance, communications, weather, search and rescue, navigation, exploration, television, and much more. Not a day passes by where we do not make use of these contraptions in our lives. However, as we progress towards the future, more and more of these satellites will be launched into orbit and as the fate of technology, they are bound to fail at some point and often

R1- Ariane is a disposable rocket, that carries charges for low altitude orbits (300km to 2000km altitude), it can carries from 6 to 9,5 tons, depending on the orbit of the charge (lower more, higher less), the company responsible for the production is the EADS SPACE transportation, this company is supervisioned by ESA, and the rocket is operated by the company Arianespace. The rocket Ariane 5, on June of 1996, exploded 40 seconds after launch, on an altitude of 3.7 km, the debris of the rocket felt

Year 11 Physics Extended Experimental Investigation (EEI) The Physics of Projectile Motion Submitted by: Anna Sunio Submitted to: Mr Mark Lee Final due date: 6th June 2014 The Effect of Launch Angle on Projectile Range of a Tennis Ball Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine the effect of the launching angle on the distance of the projectile, to identify, apply and use the laws of projectile motion to predict the distance at which a projectile will travel when projected at a

Book Source 1: Title: Newton on the Tee: A Good Walk Through the Science of Golf In “Newton on the Tee”, John Zumerchik describes the “endless details that make golf such a tantalizing pursuit” in three main parts called; “The Physics of a Sweet Swing”, “Mind Over Muscle”, and “Getting the Ball from Here to There” (Zumerchik). The first section covers timing and positioning of a swing, the second discusses the movement and speed, and finally, the third discusses launch angles, spin, lift, and effects

VECTOR FUNCTIONS VECTOR FUNCTIONS Motion in Space: Velocity and Acceleration In this section, we will learn about: The motion of an object using tangent and normal vectors. MOTION IN SPACE: VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION Here, we show how the ideas of tangent and normal vectors and curvature can be used in physics to study:  The motion of an object, including its velocity and acceleration, along a space curve. VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION In particular, we follow in the footsteps

the two satellites collided at about five miles per second (Parker, greeniacs.com). The result of the collision proves Kessler’s concerns, as a cloud of thousands of pieces of broken equipment and satellite parts was created, which is now in Earth’s orbit. The true danger of space debris relies in the speed of each piece. Since each piece travels at around four to five miles per second, smaller pieces could be catastrophic towards future missions (Dunbar, nasa.gov). One such case of debris causing damage
