    The causes and effects of the Challenger and Columbia disasters It was the day in the history of America wherein the people had a great expectation of a mission that would take a civilian for the first time into the space by launched the Challenger‚ in 1986‚ but something unexpected happened when the shuttle explored shortly after liftoff and claiming the lives of all crew members onboard. That was not the only exploration of the American history‚ another similar disaster was the exploration

    the mass of an object will change direction. In the graph‚ it states that the change in the momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that is was applied. Rocket Propulsion According to The Physics Hypertextbook‚ if we use Newton’s second law of motion‚ the net force of the rocket is in rest‚ this means that nothing is pushing the rocket but itself. F=dpdt =mdvdt+vdmdt=0 m)dvdt= -vdmdt=0 As you can notice the momentum is conserved +m dv= - v dm The denominators on both sides are infinitesimals

    GAS DYNAMICS AND JET PROPULSION 1. What is the basic difference between compressible and incompressible fluid flow? Compressible 1. Fluid velocities are appreciable compared with the velocity of sound 2. Density is not constant 3. Compressibility factor is greater than one. 2. Write the steady flow energy equation for an adiabatic flow of air. In an adiabatic flow q = 0. Therefore energy equation becomes. 2 c12 c2 h1 + + gZ1 = h2 + + gZ 2 + Ws 2 2 Incompressible 1.

    Invention of the jet Engine Mohammadhossein Khoddammohammadi January 25‚ 2014 A jet engine is a reaction engine discharging a fast moving jet that generates thrust by jet propulsion in accordance with Newton’s laws of motion. This broad definition of jet engines includes turbojets‚ turbofans‚ rockets‚ ramjets‚ and pulse jets. In general‚ jet engines are combustion engines but non-combusting forms also exist. In common parlance‚ the term jet engine loosely refers to an internal

    Many aspects of science were involved with the making of Europa Report. This movie included aspects of real science to make in more accurate even though the story of Europa One is completely science fiction. It included ways to deal with gravity on the ship‚ ways to get the ship to Europa‚ and a drill that digs through the ice of Europa. Gravity is a huge issue when it comes to space flight. Europa Report dealt with it in two ways. Cordero decided to show the astronauts in this movie actually working

    “The Evolution of Airplanes” Introduction This year is the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin (1809-1882)‚ the father of evolution. Darwin’s evolution theory proposes that all species of organisms‚ including human beings‚ evolved from common ancestors. There are five main characteristics in his evolution theory. First‚ there are variations among each population. Second‚ organisms compete for limited resources to exist. Third‚ traits of offspring are inherited from their parents. Forth‚ organisms

    then you’ve seen firsthand evidence of the ball’s force. Propulsion is another action/ reaction situation. Such as a tire puts a force on the road and the road also puts a force on the tire in the opposite direction. That’s how it propels its self forward or backwards. In a jet or a rocket ship the propulsion for it to move comes from the expelled gases acting on other gases in the air around it. So the action is the gas from the rocket and the reaction will be the force of the gases in
