Particle Motion 2: Floating, Flying & Moving Freely in Space

[karawan]

What is the meaning of floatin and flying and moveing freely in space?

 

[firavia]

Floating in space is the experience of zero-gravity where the mass of any object that is far away from any planet or massive object tend to zero and it becomes relatively massless where no force pull him down or toward any center of any other massive. object

 

[Drakkith]

Well, flying is the act or process of flight.

Flight is the process by which an object moves either through an atmosphere (especially the air), or movement beyond (as in the case of spaceflight), by generating lift, propulsive thrust or aerostatically using buoyancy, or by simple ballistic movement.
(Per wikipedia on Flight)

 

[Chronos]

Mass is an intrinsic property of matter and unaffected by the presence [or absence] of other nearby masses. Motion in space is difficult to quantify, it is strictly relational. Virtually all motion in space is influenced by gravity. Most things are either in a fixed orbit or follow a trajectory dictated by prior gravitational influence. Nothing much really 'floats' in space save perhaps near Lagrange points. Nothing 'flies' in space - there is no atmosphere. Just ablut everything moves freely in space - there is no resistance to speak of.

yes chronos you are right what I meant by massless is weightless sorry .

okey . what is the difference when a satellite moves in the same plane which planets takes from one planet to another and a higher plane . this question has no sense , you may think , but think a bout the moon and the Earth and the sun and the light .

 

[Chronos]

Most objects in the solar system have orbital trajectories perpendicular to the rotational axis of the body they orbit.

It only makes no sense because i cannot understand you. Could you try asking that again?
