Without any doubt, I will grab the opportunity if I ever get a chance to visit the International space station (ISS).
A visit to the ISS is like no other experience. When we will reach Earth orbit we will be traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, over 250 miles above the Earth’s surface and we will feel weightlessness, floating inside the spacecraft. Going to the ISS, will be like a dream come true for anyone. From the ISS, one can wonder at the marvels of the earth and many other natural phenomena’s. Other than this, there are excellent research labs on ISS which work for the benefit of mankind in many fields like medicines, life sciences, Physical sciences etc.
So, My answer is a big Yes, if I get a chance to visit ISS.
Q.5Would you like to visit the International Space Station some day and what would you do...
You sometimes hear about "zero gravity" in places like the International Space Station. Since we know Newton's Law of Gravity, we know that gravity doesn't just "stop" anywhere. What is the ratio of the gravitational force from the earth on something in the International Space Station (orbiting an average of 385 km above Earths surface) to the gravitational force from the earth on that same object when it is on the ground?
How does gravity on a satellite (like the International Space Station) compare to gravity on Earth's surface? Why is that the case? Why do astronauts float around when they're in space?
The number of pieces of space garbage visible from the International Space Station on any given day is Poisson distributed with mean 0.02. What is the probability that there would be space garbage visible from the Space Station sometime today?
What happens if you blow bubbles into a glass of lemonade on the international space station? Since you are weightless in orbit, there's no up, down, left nor right. We define down on the Earth surface as the direction things tend to fall, down. On Earth bubbles rise if blown into a glass of lemonade (with a straw and a cover).
what causes the International space station to orbit the earth?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station orbiting the earth at 254 miles above the ground. If the radius of the earth is 3,958.8 miles, mass of earth is 5.972 x 10 24 kg, could you calculate what is the speed of the ISS at the orbit? What is its period circulating around the earth?
The International Space Station whose mass is 420 tons is orbiting at an altitude of about 400 km above the earth's surface. The mass of the earth is 5.976 × 102 4 kg and the radius of the earth is 6.378 × 106 m. (a) What is the gravitational force exerted on the Space Station by the earth? (b) Assuming a circular orbit, what is the period of the International Space Station's orbit? (c) Assuming a circular orbit, what is...
Astronauts in the International Space Station must work out every day to counteract the effects of weightlessness. Researchers have investigated if riding a stationary bicycle while experiencing artificial gravity from a rotating platform gives any additional cardiovascular benefit. What frequency of rotation, in rpm, is required to give an acceleration of 1.4g to an astronaut's feet, if her feet are 1.1m from the platform's rotational axis?
A satellite and the International Space Station have the same mass and are going around Earth in concentric orbits. The distance of the satellite from Earth\'s center is twice that of the International Space Station\'s distance. What is the ratio of the centripetal force acting on the satellite compared to that acting on the International Space Station? A) 0.25 B) 1 C) 2 D) 0.5 E) 4
A person is in the international space station 400km above the surface of the Earth. (Radius of Earth 6,371 km, Mass of Earth 5.972 x 1024kg, G = 6.674 x 10-11 m3/(kg.s)) a) What is their free-fall acceleration? b) If an astronaut outside the space station were to drop a ball with a 5cm diameter which had a drag coefficient of 0.6 and a density of 0.4 x 103 kg/m3, what would its terminal velocity be when it is close...
