Escape velocity

Web Site one: The name of the site is: Astronomy for Kids. The URL for the site is: http://www.kidsastronomy.com/solar_system.htm. The user of this site would be: the students. On this site the student will be able to find information about the sun or any of the planets in our solar system. Another aspect of the site is that students can learn about the different moons of the planets. This site also contains interesting information about Saturn’s rings. Finally, the students will be able to…

to Houston, and are faced with space debris travelling at a high velocity. Wolf Kohn – a former NASA Engineer – says that this scene is inaccurate as the debris is travelling at a velocity that is too high. According to orbital mechanics, the higher an object’s orbit, the slower its velocity, and the longer the amount of time it takes to complete an orbit. Therefore, objects in the same orbit should have the same relative velocity; unless coming from a higher or a lower…

Throughout the following 60 years, around 87,000 structures situated on low-lying area and feigns are inclined to erode into the sea or lakes around the United States (SESWG par. 2). Expenses to property owners will average generally $500 million every year (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration par. 2). Climate change is a long term anxiety provoking issue, and the anxiety of having long term issues is difficult to deal with, so we must learn to face that anxiety and convert it into…

CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Theoretical principles 2.1.1 Motor vehicle repair and servicing works In the motor vehicle repair works, a number of processes are undertaken depending on the part under repair or service. This includes but not limited to, bodyworks, engine parts, transmission parts and auxiliary parts like batteries. Operations on this parts during either repair or servicing is prone to expose the worker to some dust mostly inform of fumes. Hazardous materials and wastes in…

With the discovery of water on Mars, the life expectation on Mars is increased in the minds of people. According to NASA, it is found that early atmosphere of Mars was as thick as or even thicker than Earth’s atmosphere today. NASA has also discovered that the air on Mars, whatever is left, is leaking into the space at a speed of half a pound per second. The new readings taken by NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission, shortly known as Maven, show that whenever a solar storm hits…

the event horizon which is the point inside the black hole where the gravitational pull becomes so strong that the escape velocity (the speed at which something would have to go to escape the gravitational field caused by the black hole) is equal to the speed of light. Einstein's Theory of Relativity states that no object can exceed the speed of light, thus, absolutely nothing can escape black holes once it is inside this distance from the center of the black hole. The light moving toward the…

Andy Warhol was a successful ad and magazine illustrator who became a leading artist of the pop art movement in the 1960’s. Warhol was born on August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was always a very quiet and people thought of him as an introvert. Throughout his lifetime, he went into a wide variety of performing arts, including filmmaking, video installation, and writing. He also controversially blurred the lines between fine art and mainstream aesthetics. Andy Warhol died at the age…

Without the newly developed methods and designs to reach space with the Saturn payload, the Apollo program won't be a success. In order to lift the massive payload required to reach the moon, the Saturn V rocket required millions pound of thrust. The First stage comprised of five-engine cluster for the 7.5 million pounds of thrust using liquid oxygen and kerosene fuel. The Second stage had five J-2 engines and the third with one J-2 engine all using hydrogen-oxygen fuel. Without the development…

She hid items like lightbulbs and was unpredictable. Lisa could also be cruel and she would help other people escape but wouldn’t escape herself. M: McLean Hospital- This was the name of the mental hospital where Susanna stayed. It had many levels for the different intensity of diagnosis or behavior one had. N: Naked bones- They felt like they had no privacy her at the mental…

After riders are seated and ready for take off (outside), they launch out of ‘Earth’s Atmosphere’ , and start traveling through space. In order for the effect of taking off the Earth into space they go up a hill increasing their velocity, and lowering their air pressure. Riders will then fall down a hill dodging comets, when falling they will experience free fall and weightlessness. Once riders reach space they will travel through a large loop, experiencing centripetal force and…
