Answer 1

Answer:

When a rocket renters the atmosphere, its nose cone becomes very hot. Where does this heat energy come from? The rocket's kinetic energy. Typical satellites, rockets, capsules, and space shuttles in low Earth orbit (under 1,000km altitude) travel at about 7,800m/s (25,000 kph, 17,500mph) to remain in orbit
