    Rockets Satelite
AI Thread Summary
Understanding the distance a rocket moves over time is crucial for achieving a soft landing on a satellite. By applying the equations of motion, one can calculate the rocket's trajectory and adjust its descent accordingly. This knowledge allows for precise timing and control of thrust, ensuring a gentle touchdown. Additionally, real-time distance data can help in making necessary adjustments during the landing process. Ultimately, accurate distance measurement enhances the reliability of soft landings on satellites.

how can knowledge of distance moved by a rocket at any time,t be used in soft landing on a satelite?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Welcome to PF.

Could you be more specific? At face value, I can think of some obvious thing - if you know the distance traveled in a certain time (and how far the object is), you can calculate how long it takes to get there.
 
um, with knowledge of the equations of motion of a rocket -distance moved at any time ,t to be more specific. soft landing on satelites can be achieved. my questin is, how can such knowledge be useful in soft landing on a satelite?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
