2.To investigate man's ability to function in space.
3.To recover both man and space craft safely.

All preformed by N.A.S.A

I really hope that this helps you out. Have a very nice day.

The search for black holes has so far turned up some fairly convincing stellar-sized candidates in binary star systems. What obs
ozzi

Answer:

Th similarities between the black hole and the neutron star is that they are formed from dead (dying) starts. But they come from different parent stars, if the parent star is 1.4 times the mass of the sun, a neutron star will be formed, but if the parent star is twice the mass of the sun a black hole is formed.

Explanation:

A black hole is defined as an area of space whereby the matter is so compacted that nothing can escape from it. This area is called <em>event horizon. </em>Black holes are formed when an enormous star dies in z supernova. They weigh at least twice the sun's mass, and their mass is directly proportional to their radii.

Neutron stars are created during supernova and maintained by a neutron called <em>degeneracy pressure.</em> Neutron star has a small radius, typically 30 km, with a very high density made up of compacted neutrons.

Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in orbit is 33 km/s. When it is closest to
Natalka [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Kepler's second law states that for a planet orbiting a star, if we join the planet and the star by an imaginary line, such line sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Let's imagine the planetary orbit is elliptical. When the planet is closest to the star it travels a large distance in its orbit but takes little time to travel. When the planet is furthest from the star, it travels a small distance in the orbit but in a long time so it ends up sweeping the same are as in the first case.

Therefore, this means when the planet is closest to the star it must have a greater speed than when it's furthest. We know this thanks to the speed formula v = d/t (velocity equals distance divided by time).

For a great distance and small time, speed is a large value.

For a small distance and a great time, speed is a small value.

What do we call the visible streak of light created by space debris entering Earth's atmosphere?
aliina [53]

The visible streak of light created by space debris entering Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. The answer is letter A.

Meteors are remnants of the particles from asteroids and comets that enter the earth at a very high speed. The result is the burning up of these matter, they are sometimes called “shooting star’.
