Another Space Station Post




Yesterday you came up with a plan if the meteor heading for the space station had a greater mass. What difference do you think it would make if it had less mass yet a greater speed?

  1. I think The space station would move faster towards the meteor and that means that the space station would have less time to move out of the way.

    Well, it might still be enough to destroy the station because Newton's second law states that f=ma so even if it has less mass it's new acceleration might be able to give the meteor the same force as when it had more mass. So to answer the question, not really much of a difference.

      That's just what I think anyway.

    2. You really think that copying is okay? Well it isn't! Take some responsibility and make your own comment. You will get nowhere if you copy off of someone.

    6. Thats my point!! school prepares you for life and if you blow of school then you won;t be able to have the skills you need to get through life, you miss out on a wonderful oppurtinity

  4. I think it might go faster, but have less direction of where its going and more displacement.

  5. It would almost be the same thing, you would just need to make it so that the device that pushed the meteorite, would have less mass but make it faster.

  6. I would think it would go faster and crash into something.

  7. I think it depends on how much mass it lost and how much acceleration has increased. If it lost 3 kg and increased 70 m/s, I think it would still impact the earth, but in a smaller area.

    ReplyDelete
  8. depends if the speed makes up for the mass, or if the mass of it, was the mass of a pebble.if the mass was equal to the mass of a pebble it would break a window or just bounce off but if the speed made up for the mass same out come the station would crumble.

    2. Gareth, make your own comment. It isn't hard to write a few sentences. It is a shame you continuously copy people. YOU WON'T GET FAR IN LIFE WITH COPYING!!

  10. I think that with all of the mass lost that it would be lighter. It would go faster and smack the earth with destruction, but in a smaller area.

  11. If the meteor had less mass but more speed then it would have less direction, and also it would be able to accelerate more toward the space station. The speed of the meteor would leave the space station less time to move.

    The meteor will go a distance and make it so the space station will be displaced from where it was before. The meteor will go fast and the space station will go at a slow pace and if the meteor collided with the space station it will be destroyed

  13. It would have less direction if it had more speed and less mass.

  14. I would think it would go faster and crash into something.

  15. Jasmine M I think it would go faster and possibly do more damage when it crashed.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think it would be easier to move the meteor but it would still to damage to the space station because of its speed.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The greater speed would give you less time to change directions and avoid the meteor, but the meteor with less mass would make less of an impact.

  18. I think it would go faster and crash.

  19. It would go super fast and even those super lasers I mentioned yesterday wouldn't do nothing against this cray cray stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  20. It would be super fast.

  21. I think it would go faster.

  22. I think that it would hit the space station with the same hit.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think the meteor would make less of an impact on the space station than it would if it had a greater mass.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I guess the meteor would be easier to move, but it you wouldn't have too much time to change the course of the meteor.

    ReplyDelete
  25. i think would still crash in to something.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think it would pick up speed and crash

  30. No, It would not make a difference unless you count the smaller but deeper hole in the earth.

    ReplyDelete
  31. it would do a lot more damage

    ReplyDelete
  32. it would fall into to earth and kill 100's of people.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think it would go less far into the space station and it would still make an impact.

    ReplyDelete
  34. i think that it would take less speed to go in to the space station

  35. No difference I think.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It would make a huge difference. The meteor would be moving much faster.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I would say no difference

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think it would go faster.

    ReplyDelete
  39. It wouldn't make any difference. there would be the same amount of damage

  40. The meteor would move faster, so it'd make a big difference

  41. It would make a difference but i don't know what???

  43. It would cause more damage.

    ReplyDelete
  44. It'd make a big difference, though I'm not exacty sure what difference it would make. More speed would mean more damage, but smaller mass, I'm not sure at all. They DO say little, but powerful, and I suppose that would apply to this, though I'm not positive.

  45. their would be a greater collision like meteors on earth

  46. The meteor would be hardier to stop because of the speed and the size, but the impact would probably be the same.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think it would hit it but it would reduce the speed but it would still hit it and send it toward Earth.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think that the difference would be that the meteor wouldn't hit the space station, since the meteor has less mass and greater speed. IF the space station was going to slower than yesterday, then the space station wouldn't get hit.

    ReplyDelete
  49. The meteor would move faster, so it'd make a big difference

    ReplyDelete
  50. if it had less mass then it might just go right though still so you would still have to move but you would have less time to move

    ReplyDelete
  51. It'd affect less area but do more damage to the area it does affect.

    ReplyDelete
  52. It would probably go way faster and make more damage. you would have less time to help yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  53. You would still need to move but you have less time

  54. it would go faster - desi

  55. It would be most likely that sense the meteor is going faster it would be harder for the space station to move. It will most likely hit the space station.😄

    ReplyDelete
  56. If it had less mass it would be less harmful in a way because if the meteor had a greater mass it would be bigger but with the less mass it would be smaller. And there might be a way that the meteor could move because of all the wind it's going against to get to Earth.

  57. It would probably make more damage to the space station if the meteor had less mass and more speed.

  58. I think The space station would move faster towards the meteor and that means that the space station would have less time to move out of the way.

  59. The meteor will go to a greater speed because of the size but wouldn't have the same mass as the space station.

    ReplyDelete
  60. If the meteor had a less mass, but more speed then the means that the meteor will be harder to avoid, and you will also have to move faster. Though it does have a less mass, if it does hit the space station it will not hurt as bad as it would with grater mass.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Well, say it was 100 yards wide and was traveling at 2,000 mph. The speed would affect the damage as well as the mass. Although the mass is not as big, The speed would use Newton's Third Law and bounce off of it, making the Space Station bounce off, into another orbit, hit another meteor, and destroy it even more. Another way it could happen is if it hits the middle or somewhere near the middle, the space station would split in two, causing the scpae station to crash into another meteor or even maybe the same one if THAT meteor hit another one, it could bounce back and hit the Sapce Station again.

    ReplyDelete
  62. What I think would happen is that it would go through the station like a bullet because of the less resistance from the air.

    ReplyDelete
  63. If a meteor with less mass was going faster into the space station will not damage the space station badly. Even though it is going faster it is still smaller.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Well if it was faster but smaller it probably would be easier to blow it up and fly in the other direction. and not have to make the entire asteroid hit the station
