How does Newton's 3 laws of motion work in space travel?

i need to write a paper on newton's laws of motion, and anser this question thoroughly: how does Newton's laws work in space travel?

im supposed to consider spacecrafts along with astronauts.



i need enough information on how it works with space travel to write a 1.5 page report(double spaced)



please any and all answers with information will be greatly appreciated.How does Newton's 3 laws of motion work in space travel?the third law most of all is used for everything in space. that's how astronauts get about in eva's(extra vehicular activity). they use small gas tanks. gas coming out pushes the object. that is the third law. also same thing on the craft, they have a whole bunch of nozzels around it to navigate in space.



the "object in motion stays in motion" is used in the actual travelling part. unlike on earth when you are driving you don't need to constantly apply energy(gas). you just give one blast and it goes on at that constant speed for ever. this is inertia once it gets going it doesn't stop until you give a blast from the opposite side of travel.



f=ma is used to calculated how much energy you have to precisely give to travel at x amount of speed. using this they get up to the exact speed that they want in order to stay in orbit, leave orbit, or come back down. very important!!!!



also the third law kind of becomes a problem when you're working in space cause you have to pay attention to everything you do. the srew drivers has to be specially made so that it doesnt spin the astronaut when they use it. or when they do space walks they have to careful how much force you push somthing with cause you might get pushed back away from the station.



hope this helps

conclusion statement: the effects of the three laws can be both very usefull and harmful. they make space travel far more efficient than any other means of travelling. but if you're not carefull it just might push you away into deep space.How does Newton's 3 laws of motion work in space travel?yep. think about the second law, e.g if a moon collides with another moon the severity of the impact determines the moons destiniessHow does Newton's 3 laws of motion work in space travel?As far as I know , it is used to launch rockets into space...
