@yevgander ...no. he'd have to be somewhere around the size of the moon for things to start flying at him, though i wouldn't know what exactly that would be. objects have to have enough mass (much more than a human's mass) to have a gravitational field.
im gonna go off on a tangent here and say that his body is emitting enough gravity to pull the boomerang back to him. other than that i have no idea why they are doing this.
This wouldn't work on a space walk, would it? Somebody said that areodynamics have nothing to do with the flight of the boomerang...then why is every boomerang that I've ever seen in the shape of an airfoil?
@JustinMKolenc Even a child can understand how a boomerang works, and you don't. If you're willing to admit that you don't even know how something as simple as a boomerang works, then why post?
@Erverino You're an idiot. I never said I don't know how a boomerang works. I said it wouldn't work on a space walk because there's no fucking air in space, dipshit. I'd like to see you throw a boomerang on a space walk and make it come back to you. I think you should keep your mouth shut to prevent yourself from looking dumb. Even children understand that.
@JustinMKolenc Okay you dumbfuck, I said you don't know how it works because you just displayed your ignorance in your own post, you moron. Not because you said anything.
Second of all, explain this: How the fuck, if according to your incredible knowledge a boomerang doesn't work in space, why does it work in this video? Why are you even arguing this. Secondly, since you obviously don't understand how boomerangs work, allow me to explain. The key feature in any boomerang - cont.
@Erverino No, in fact I displayed the opposite of ignorance, an informed curiosity. You see, if you could read, you would see that I said "on a space walk." The astronaut in this video is NOT on a spacewalk. He is inside a pressurized compartment INSIDE the ISS. It works in there because there IS air. (Which is also why he isn't dead.)
So you see, it is you who acted in ignorance. You jumped all over my 100% correct comment because you either failed to or were unable to read it accurately.
@JustinMKolenc It would be very likely that you simply did not understand the difference between a space walk and being inside a the ISS, considering that your original post was not a reply to anybody, and this is a video of an astronaut throwing a boomerang in space without any problems.
@JustinMKolenc Is it's curved shape. It has extra weight on each end so that when it's swung, the other end pulls it back, causing it to curve. It works just like a curveball, look that up on youtube. It's made aerodynamic to make it fly smoother and longer. Even a child knows this dipshit.
Now, third of all. How the fuck is there no air there? Are you fucking retarded? Wouldn't that guy be dead by now? They are in a space station where they have all the air they need. Wow, what a moron.
@Erverino The "curved shape" that you refer to is its Air Foil. Admittedly, I'm unsure about the weighted ends, though that does sound plausible. It does not, in fact, work "just like a curveball" (by the way, that's two words, not one), as you yourself pointed out...there is no weighted end of a baseball. Your own description precludes that possibility.
Again, the astronaut is not dead because there is air INSIDE the space station. A spacewalk is where he gets OUTSIDE of the tin can. WOW.
@JustinMKolenc Just because there are no ends to a ball does not mean that it can not achieve the same effect. The physics involved are identical, the difference is that a boomerang was designed for the effect.
@JustinMKolenc Also, you have not made a single rebuttal to my argument. You just made half a dozen posts trying to repair your own ego. The curve of the boomerang is what causes it to return to the sender, by causing it to to create and arc just like a curve ball does. I can't wait for you to tell me how air foil is supposed to do anything but create some lift, and how exactly does it bring the boomerang back to the thrower.
@JustinMKolenc I should also point out by the way that the airfoil is completely unnecessary in boomerangs. You can test this yourself by picking up a bent stick outside and throwing it. Then watch it completely change direction.
@Erverino Thank you. You've just proven that you're a complete idiot. Now, watch my video response, and try to make the same arguments that you just made to me when presented with actual evidence. I hope you don't think you're smarter than the collective knowledge at NASA?
@JustinMKolenc WHat the fuck? When did I say I was smarter than Nasa? What does Nasa have to do with this argument? Are you retarded or do you just like to spout straw-men when your ego is hurt?
@Erverino What does NASA have to do with space? Is that a serious question? I brought up NASA because they specifically address everything you claim to know...and they happen to say that you are wrong. (No, not YOU specifically, jackass.) NASA has a page that explains how a curve ball works. I've linked, from my video, to several pages (many published by NASA) that exactly detail how wrong you are. Since you disagree with NASA, you must think you're smarter. I'm done here. O', happy fool!
@Erverino Furthermore, you'll find in my links a SPECIFIC reference to the "bent stick" that you suggest will fly like a boomerang because "the airfoil is completely unnecessary in boomerangs." They gave the "bent stick" as an example of why the airfoil IS in fact COMPLETELY necessary. The bent stick WILL NOT fly like a boomerang. DAMN. Either you're the proudest fool in the Universe, or you are posting things that you know are not true to get a rise out of me. Either way, FUCK OFF.
@Erverino So, for my final analysis of your stupidity, I'd like to ask a question: Did it in fact inflate your ego to be so very loud about how ignorant you are? I mean, after all, you didn't know that curve ball was two words vice one. You didn't know that the astronaut was inside the ISS where a spacewalk is outside. You didn't know that the "curved shape" was an airfoil. (One word, not two, my bad in previous post.) And you didn't even know that there is no air in space.
@JustinMKolenc "Curveball" is one word. Look it up. The only person with an overly inflated ego here is you considering how many replies you have to make anytime somebody bursts it, and your need to correct somebody's wording.
Since you consider the proper writing of the word Curveball to be so important, then I'll assume that you have no problem with saying that you're that dumbass here for not knowing that.
@Erverino and BTW: I got in "A" in physics when I took it in college. I'm guessing by your tone and demeanor that the only "A" you've seen attached to your name in this life immediately preceded the letters "sshole." Am I correct?

Boomerang will also work in vacumn space. The reason that make boomerang return is not about aerodynamic. Why don't he try to throw it in vacum space ?
I believe that's what he intended to say. I'd like to see this done with gases of different weight and density, but I imaging that'd be difficult and probably a waste of money.
The boomerang flies beause theres oxigen in the space station, so, theres sustentation, very simple, through it outside the space station, and it will go in strait line, cause theres no air, very very simple :) sory about my english..
People are right when they said that if he threw outside of the ship it would travel straight, but since there is no gravity, I think if he threw it and had not caught it, it would continue to go in circles forever until stopped, right?
@Avatarrokuu - It relies on aerodynamics but the force of gravity has an effect on the performance. The performance in zero g should provide a longer flight time and longer range than for the same applied force and angle of attack and rotational velocity applied on earth. They should have had a standard launch device to properly compare the performance. Also note that the inertia of the device - both in a forward moving and a rotational sense come into play - both in zero g and at 1 g.
If you were aware of how a boomerang works, then it would not be surprising to you. Boomerang are generally airfoils with opposite direction. You tried the boomerang in ISS where there is some air. Thats enough for the boomerang to return. It would however never return if it is thrown in vacuum. Yeap another thing it has nothing to do with force of any kind, but the lift theory of airfoils / blade theory.`

What exactly was that....
Boomerang on Earth - 1 flag!
Boomerang in Space aboard the ISS - 6 flags!
Or not so much.... Get to work it cost..20 million dollars to put our much beloved boomerang throwing buddy into space. How about earning some of that back for us all down here.
This might be endlessly entertaining but grow some crystals, design a better solar cell or something while they're up there.
So trowing a boomerang in the international space station is not impressive? Oh, tell me all about your life. sounds extreme, when it is that much more impressive!
unless u read on school, gravity exist even on space because of the sun..if u wana experience 0 gravity u must go far away from any star..so there's some gravity on space.
Well yes and no. The earth is orbiting the sun, but it's in a state of "freefall" around the sun, otherwise we would go into the sun, right? I'm no astrophysicist, but I believe it's just like how the space station is always in a state of freefall around the earth.
the "boomerang" uses the oxygen in the ship as the medium to force itself back to the thrower... if the guy throws it outside the spaceship, it will go in a straightline. Point: not amazing.
@seattlehot4845 Please explain this to Erverino. He's wasted my entire day with his stupidity. He claims things to be true which are 180 degrees away from what respected authorities say. He even contradicts NASA, but is certain that he's correct rather than them. Somebody please teach this guy about life...PLEASE?
That was obvious. A boomerang's shape cuts through the air. He should throw it in a vacuum and see what happens. I theorise that it will go in a straight line.
Dreamspower: The moon is in perpetual fall, but the orbit here is not the result of a perpetual fall, for the effect of gravity is negligable. It is in fact propelled by the initial thrust and by the moving air as a result of its rotational motion. As a result of friction with air, it will eventually stop rotating and then its movement would be along a straight line in space.
Wow... some people are really pretty dumb, huh? A boomerang works in the same way an airplane does: by air moving over the wings and producing a pressure difference, which moves the object. This has nothing to do with gravity, so this is the expected outcome. Please, someone tell me where all of the confusion is coming from.
This is a common misconception. Although the pressure difference you mention does exist, it is not nearly large enough to lift an airplane. Lift is achieved mostly through a process called "flow turning." As a wing moves forward, it pushes air downward. Per Newton's third law of motion--every action has an equal and opposite reaction--that push generates a force in the opposite direction, which in the case of an airplane is upward.
What? Do you know anything about fluid mechanics whatsoever? Lift is derived almost entirely from a wing's ability to manipulate the properties of fluids associated with Bernoulli's Principle. The wing doesn't necessarily push air downward as much as it reacts to the pressure differences between the bottom and top of the wing. Learn what you're talking about before trying to act smart.
You should stop trying to act smart yourself; Berkowitz is correct. Bernouli's principle is responsible for only a tiny portion of the lift generated by a typical aircraft wing. Despite what many textbooks may suggest, most of the force is a reaction to the air being forced downward by the wing's "angle of attack". This can be easily confirmed by observation and experiment. Many toy and paper airplanes, for example, are able to fly with flat wings that produce no Bernouli effect.
there's still air in his cabin, therefore the effects of a boomerang in wind still apply. if there was no air, fool wouldn't be able to breathe. try shooting the boomerang outside into space and see if it comes back. haha
The centripetal force of the orbital path is what cancels out the force of gravity, which makes it appear as if no gravity is present. The centripetal force depends on the mass and the velocity of the object in orbit and so if the object is moving fast enough, the gravitational force is equaled.
Centripetal force is merely a name for a force which keeps an object in uniform circular motion, which in this case, is gravity. Gravity still acts on the station, but without a normal force, one does not perceive gravity. An accelerometer, however, would show the station constantly accelerating towards the center of the earth.
There's no such thing as "centripetal force"! Think of a stone attached to a string, spin it and let it go, it will not fly in the direction away from the center (as it would if there was centripetal force) but along the tangent to the circle along which it was moving... The reason the station orbits the Earth is that in time it takes to fall towards it, it also moves in a direction perpendicular to the falling movement. So if it moves at the right speed it will stay in the orbit
There is such a thing as a centripetal force. go look it up. And it does apply to objects in orbit.And your explanation of the station falling around the earth does not explain the orbit at all.
Actually it is very close to being correct, just simplified for this audience - essentially if you are in an orbit you are constantly falling towards earth but constantly missing because of the forces acting at an angle to gravity
Like everything else it would not have to be aerodynamicaly sound as aerodynamics mean nothing in the void of space, it would simply spin and float away at an even pace until another force acts on it.
A Boomerang works its magic with aerodynamic lift. Not having to fight gravity just makes the job easier. And BTW 99% of the earth's gravity is still in effect at normal orbital altitudes, like others said, the free fall is simulating 0g. You would have to be a long way from anywhere to be in actual 0g.
he is experiencing 90% of the gravity. However since the space shuttle is moving quickly it appears and feels like zero G. The space shuttle is in orbit which means it must move very quickly in order to not fall back to earth. Its like shooting a cannon ball fast enough that it doesnt ever hit the ground it just keeps flying around the earth
This is a good explanation of an orbit, but not so great at why he doesn't feel gravity. The sense of gravity we get is from the normal force, or some surface pushing against our weight, which is caused by gravity. When in orbit, there is no surface to offer a normal force. This is the same reason skydivers will claim to feel weightless. The speed of the space station is only relevant in that it is required to stay in orbit.
there is air in this clip and very, very, very little gravity.. but lot more amazing to me is the fact that a feather and a stone drops at the same speed in vaccum (with gravity) ;)
And even more amazing is that you can make two objects fall at a different speed when you insert two magnets with similar poles facing eachother in one of objects.

Wow... some people are really pretty dumb, huh? A boomerang works in the same way an airplane does: by air moving over the wings and producing a pressure difference, which moves the object. This has nothing to do with gravity, so this is the expected outcome. Please, someone tell me where all of the confusion is coming from.
Ferret404 3 years ago 13
This is a common misconception. Although the pressure difference you mention does exist, it is not nearly large enough to lift an airplane. Lift is achieved mostly through a process called "flow turning." As a wing moves forward, it pushes air downward. Per Newton's third law of motion--every action has an equal and opposite reaction--that push generates a force in the opposite direction, which in the case of an airplane is upward.
Berkowitz1337 3 years ago
What? Do you know anything about fluid mechanics whatsoever? Lift is derived almost entirely from a wing's ability to manipulate the properties of fluids associated with Bernoulli's Principle. The wing doesn't necessarily push air downward as much as it reacts to the pressure differences between the bottom and top of the wing. Learn what you're talking about before trying to act smart.
ryanlionrah 3 years ago 2
You should stop trying to act smart yourself; Berkowitz is correct. Bernouli's principle is responsible for only a tiny portion of the lift generated by a typical aircraft wing. Despite what many textbooks may suggest, most of the force is a reaction to the air being forced downward by the wing's "angle of attack". This can be easily confirmed by observation and experiment. Many toy and paper airplanes, for example, are able to fly with flat wings that produce no Bernouli effect.

there's still air in his cabin, therefore the effects of a boomerang in wind still apply. if there was no air, fool wouldn't be able to breathe. try shooting the boomerang outside into space and see if it comes back. haha

Chase86 3 years ago 2
The centripetal force of the orbital path is what cancels out the force of gravity, which makes it appear as if no gravity is present. The centripetal force depends on the mass and the velocity of the object in orbit and so if the object is moving fast enough, the gravitational force is equaled.
rayomandg 3 years ago
Centripetal force is merely a name for a force which keeps an object in uniform circular motion, which in this case, is gravity. Gravity still acts on the station, but without a normal force, one does not perceive gravity. An accelerometer, however, would show the station constantly accelerating towards the center of the earth.

trivium10 3 years ago
There's no such thing as "centripetal force"! Think of a stone attached to a string, spin it and let it go, it will not fly in the direction away from the center (as it would if there was centripetal force) but along the tangent to the circle along which it was moving... The reason the station orbits the Earth is that in time it takes to fall towards it, it also moves in a direction perpendicular to the falling movement. So if it moves at the right speed it will stay in the orbit
acerbiter 3 years ago
There is such a thing as a centripetal force. go look it up. And it does apply to objects in orbit.And your explanation of the station falling around the earth does not explain the orbit at all.
rayomandg 3 years ago
Actually it is very close to being correct, just simplified for this audience - essentially if you are in an orbit you are constantly falling towards earth but constantly missing because of the forces acting at an angle to gravity
auto98 3 years ago 5
There are no other forces than gravity alone acting on ISS.
Aurora3333 3 years ago
there is its own momentum, which is what keeps it in orbit (otherwise it would simply fall straight at the earth)
auto98 3 years ago 2
I agree with the first part, but falling around the earth is exactly how it happens.

You mean there is no "centrifugal force". It is an apparent force, the real force is the centripetal.

As long as the boomerang has air to work with, it will always return. A boomerang is just aerodynamics in action.
thegreatzarquon 3 years ago 7
Like everything else it would not have to be aerodynamicaly sound as aerodynamics mean nothing in the void of space, it would simply spin and float away at an even pace until another force acts on it.

brian1010101 3 years ago
A Boomerang works its magic with aerodynamic lift. Not having to fight gravity just makes the job easier. And BTW 99% of the earth's gravity is still in effect at normal orbital altitudes, like others said, the free fall is simulating 0g. You would have to be a long way from anywhere to be in actual 0g.
Sixotoo 3 years ago 7
That would be 90%.
Is weight or mass the important variable in this vid?

to be an asshole and correct you...its actually 9/10G or 90% of earth's gravity

i think you're backwards. 1/10 of earth's gravity seems more practical. so 10%g.

the astronaut is experiencing 90% G????
is that true?
twodae 3 years ago
he is experiencing 90% of the gravity. However since the space shuttle is moving quickly it appears and feels like zero G. The space shuttle is in orbit which means it must move very quickly in order to not fall back to earth. Its like shooting a cannon ball fast enough that it doesnt ever hit the ground it just keeps flying around the earth
slicksabo 3 years ago
He is in the space station.
DillonCraig 3 years ago 2
This is a good explanation of an orbit, but not so great at why he doesn't feel gravity. The sense of gravity we get is from the normal force, or some surface pushing against our weight, which is caused by gravity. When in orbit, there is no surface to offer a normal force. This is the same reason skydivers will claim to feel weightless. The speed of the space station is only relevant in that it is required to stay in orbit.

And even more amazing is that you can make two objects fall at a different speed when you insert two magnets with similar poles facing eachother in one of objects.
