Difference between Free fall and Sub-orbital spaceflight

Free fall vs. Sub-orbital spaceflight

In Newtonian physics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it. A sub-orbital spaceflight is a spaceflight in which the spacecraft reaches space, but its trajectory intersects the atmosphere or surface of the gravitating body from which it was launched, so that it will not complete one orbital revolution.

Similarities between Free fall and Sub-orbital spaceflight

Free fall and Sub-orbital spaceflight have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmosphere, California, Elliptic orbit, Free fall, Gravity, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, Micro-g environment, Military, Soviet Union, Spacecraft, Standard gravitational parameter, Weightlessness.

Atmosphere

An atmosphere is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body.

California

California is a state in the Pacific Region of the United States.

Elliptic orbit

In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics, an elliptic orbit or elliptical orbit is a Kepler orbit with an eccentricity of less than 1; this includes the special case of a circular orbit, with eccentricity equal to 0.

Gravity

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another.

Kepler's laws of planetary motion

In astronomy, Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun.

Micro-g environment

The term micro-g environment (also µg, often referred to by the term microgravity) is more or less a synonym for weightlessness and zero-g, but indicates that g-forces are not quite zero—just very small.

Military

A military or armed force is a professional organization formally authorized by a sovereign state to use lethal or deadly force and weapons to support the interests of the state.

Soviet Union

The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was a socialist state in Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991.

Spacecraft

A spacecraft is a vehicle or machine designed to fly in outer space.

Standard gravitational parameter

In celestial mechanics, the standard gravitational parameter μ of a celestial body is the product of the gravitational constant G and the mass M of the body.

Weightlessness

Weightlessness, or an absence of weight, is an absence of stress and strain resulting from externally applied mechanical contact-forces, typically normal forces (from floors, seats, beds, scales, etc.). Counterintuitively, a uniform gravitational field does not by itself cause stress or strain, and a body in free fall in such an environment experiences no g-force acceleration and feels weightless.

Free fall and Sub-orbital spaceflight Comparison

Free fall has 95 relations, while Sub-orbital spaceflight has 148. As they have in common 12, the Jaccard index is 4.94% = 12 / (95 + 148).
