If it's on a plane possibly. But how? Web sites would be helpful or physics answers with plain English would be fab. Thanks to the moon and back.

Equilibrium is defined as the state of undergoing equal forces in all directions (that is mathematically equivalent to zero force).  A moving projectile, with no gravity acting upon it, and no air resistance (i.e. travelling in a vaccuum) would fit that definition.

Since the Moon's gravity is only one sixth that of the Earth, much less fuel is needed to launch from the Moon than from the Earth, assuming the mass launched from each is the same.\nOf course the Moon would not be visible.  It does not make its own light, because its just a big rocky ball.

Wait. If the plane is in midair it's flying, right? Let's just say it's flying very slowly but it's not just still (motionless) in one place. Anyway, the truck and the air inside it would start to move. The inertia of the plane means it would lag this movement and thus drift toward the rear of the truck. It might hit the back, or the pilot might be able to correct the drift. It's the same as if you are flying a real plane and experience a wind shear of gradually increasing speed. If you didn't stall and crash, you'd eventually return to the air speed (speed relative to still or moving air) that you had before.

Trust me, the US space program was not a farce. You may have seen the old movie Capricorn 1 but that much could not have been faked. We can barely simulate weighlessness with airplane flight for a minute or two--there is no way we could simulate it lasting for days, weeks, and months. There is no way to fake the changes on the human body from prolonged weightlessness.

Someone posted the exact same set of questions a few days back, either here or on the physics page - you ought to be able to find the methods in the responses. Have a look.\n\n\nBest of Luck - Mike

Not unless the wind carries it because whilst the earth is spinning around rapidly, so is everything on it. If this were not the case, and a person jumped straight up into the air they would shoot of in a direction and this doesnt happen

No, that is not even possible. Even if an explosion big enough to do the job were set off on the Moon, if it were set off at the Moon's south pole it would push the Moon away from the Earth, not toward it. And nobody on Earth, not the US government, not anybody, has the ability to make an explosion that big anyway.

Let's do a thought experiment.Imagine that you had a giant compass and drew a circle about 12 feet in diameter on your school parking lot. You are going to be the earth so you stand in the center where the giant stick pin of the compass went. Pick a friend to be the moon. She is going to walk along the path of the  circle and you are going to face her at all times and observe carefully what you see. First have her look in one direction as she marches along the path - like maybe looking at the school building or maybe facing north. Make sure her entire body faces the same way at all times. In other words, she moves in a circle but does not rotate her body. Notice that you see her from the front at times, then the left side, back, right and front again. Now. Compare this to the moon. If the moon didn't rotate we would see all sides of it during the course of its almost one month journey around the earth. In other words, if the moon did NOT rotate we WOULD be able to see the back side.  Now, have your friend do the same as before but this time have her face you at all times so you cannot see her back - only her front . Now. Ask her what she saw in addition to you and she will say that part of the time she saw the school house and part of the time she was even facing away from it and finally ended up facing the school again. She faced first north, then east, then south, then west and finally north again. In other words, she turned in a complete circle while her face was turned toward you at all times. This is what the moon does. One face of the moon is turned toward the earth at all times. In order for that to be true it must rotate, just like your friend. The secret is that it rotates on its axis at the exact same speed as it revolves in its path about the earth. The reason for this behavior is that the moon is captured by the earth's gravity.

The object will follow a parabolic trajectory to the earth, as observed from outside the plane.  On the plane, it will appear to fall straight down in your (moving) frame of reference.  Air resistance will retard this motion, but it's magnitude depends on the drag coefficient of the object dropped and the medium in which it is falling.

If the plane is on a treadmill like the ones we run on at the gym, then it won't really be 'going' anywhere and will not take off because no air is passing by the wings to generate lift.  \n\nI think you might have to clarify this one further...

Good question! I think no because everything moves within the atmosphere. Such as 8 hour long airplanes. If they travel the opposite direction of the earth's rotation, it wouldn't just stay still over the same exact spot over the ocean if it traveled 1000mph. good question, but that's what i predict using prior knowledge. Plus, i think it's gravitational force that makes every object move at the same time along with the earth itself. It may have to do with Earth's magnetic field, i don't know.

It is the same.  Unless you're flying in one of the experimental planes which leaves the atmosphere.  The atmosphere moves with the planet so the plane is unaffected by the spinning.  Just as we don't feel the spinning.

It will be from way out on a plane based on our orbital track. I think the intensity of the sun will block out the view of whether or not it goes behind or in front of the sun. The center of the universe, even though it is a non-existent place, for arguments sake, would be moving as everything in the universe is dynamic. (There is no end to infinite, therefore the center cannot be defined.)

People inside the plane are still being pulled down by gravity with a force of m*g=9.8*m.  The airplane is also holding the people within it with a force of m*v^2/r=22.22*m.  So you've got a horizontal force and a vertical force.\n\n      22.22*m\n---------------------->\n|\n|9.8*m\n|\nV\n\nPeople are most comfortable when they are accelerated into their seats (not the window or ceiling), so the bank angle will be perpendicular to the sum of those two vectors.  Your result should be about 65 degrees (though the 5 isn't a significant digit-- you should be able to get the final answer on your own).\n\nBut oh those poor people!  They'll be accelerated to almost 3 gs!

Yeah! Have you been reading the magazine Popular Science? I guess so. The flying cars have to be aero dynamic and there is a 50% chance that they would make it. Also NASA might build a supersonic plane from here to Tokyo in 2 hours. Isn't that amazing! I wonder if they could build that too.

yes, it is still in space. For more detailed information about the mission, where it went and what's going on now, check out the following website.
