Khan Academy: Gravitation: Space Station Speed in Orbit

Students discuss the benefits of the International Space Station. They evaluate the challenges the designers faced when trying to design the space station. Students discuss the use of scale models when designing large structures and...

Take a trip into outer space from the safety of your classroom. A great addition to the digital library of any science teacher, this reference offers a behind-the-scenes look at the research going at the International...

Space stations provide opportunities for space exploration and research. Individuals see how scientists build space stations and put them into space. Viewers explore the history of space stations, the different types of space stations...

The speed necessary for the space station to stay in orbit is investigated in this video.

Sal Khan looks at the speed necessary for the space station to stay in orbit. [6:35]

Imagine 16 nations working together to build a six-bedroom house. In space. Welcome to the International Space Station and follow along as it is built room-by-room.

This video lecture will use the Universal Law of Gravitation to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth. Video will then calculate the space station's acceleration due to gravity. [10:12]

Learn about whether a feather or a brick would fall faster on the moon in this video lecture. Understand how air resistance affects how objects fall to Earth. [10:34]

Learn that a sp3 hybridized orbital is a combination of s and p orbital in this video. Also see an example of when a hybridized orbital exist by looking at when carbon forms a sigma bond. [16:22]

Practice calculating average velocity and speed from word problems when an object moves in one direction.
