Once in orbit, the space shuttle used very little, if any, rocket power to maintain its speed despite traveling over 15,000 mph! How were NASA engineers able to do this?

• More mass equals more acceleration

• The space shuttle was able to use a special coating in order to achieve its fast speed in space.

• Gravity provides the necessary force to keep the space shuttle traveling at a high rate of speed.

• More force at liftoff equals more acceleration

Jacob holds a magnet with the north pole out near a magnet suspended on a string. The magnet on a string spins until the south pole is facing his magnet. Why did the magnet turn direction?

• The like poles are attracted to each other from gravity

• The like poles are attracted to each other from magnetic force

• The unlike poles are attracted because of gravity

• The unlike poles are attracted because of magnetic force
