The Space Shuttle travels at a speed of about 6.45 x 103 m/s. The blink of an astronaut's eye lasts about 94.0 ms. How many football fields (length = 91.4 m) does the Space Shuttle cover in the blink of an eye?

In 1996, NASA performed an experiment called the Tethered Satellite experiment. In this experiment a 4.57 x 104-m length of wire was let out by the space shuttle Atlantis to generate a motional emf. The shuttle had an orbital speed of 5.12 x 103 m/s, and the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the location of the wire was 6.95 x 10-5 T. If the wire had moved perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field, what would have been the motional emf generated between the ends of the wire?

The total liftoff mass of the space shuttle orbiter is 110,00kg. The combined thrust of the three onboard liquid fuel engines and two solid fuel boosters is 34.5 million N. Theoretically what is the vertical acceleration in m/s2 at launch? The shuttle pitches over to fly roughly horizontally at 100m/s a few seconds after launch. Considering this horizontal phase of the profile, how long does it take to reach 7743m/s orbital speed. (all acceleration is now horizontal, and not considering air friction and earth`s rotation, and assume launch F,m)?
