If there is any. On Earth the rocket will become hot from air resistance and slow down, but in space, without air or friction, the rocket would keep moving the same direction forever or until it hits something or is affected by gravity.

The force of friction in the case of a rocket would be mostly on the upper-half of the fusilage as the rocket cleaves through the air.

How do thrust drag and gravity affect a hydro-rocket?

Thrust - is the force pushing it forwards Drag - the force acting against the rocket Gravity - the force acting upon the rocket trying to push it towards the centre of the earth


Does the length of your rocket affect the flight of your rocket?

Indeed they do! There are a few primary forces that affect a rocket's flight, and one of those forces is drag. Aerodynamics is basically how drag affects an object in motion, and making something "more aerodynamic" means building it in such a way that it has less drag. The less drag something experiences, the faster (and in the case of model rockets, higher) it can go.


What is the best fin size for a 2 liter bottle rocket?

There does not appear to be a "best" size. It depends on a number of factors, to include the bottle used (brand of drink & manufacturer), type of rocket, distance aiming for. One common element to consider is drag. Larger fins have greater surface and mass which will directly affect the altitude your rocket can reach.


How does gravity affect a bottle rocket as it is ascending and descending?

As a rocket descends, gravity is pulling it down whilst drag is stopping the gravity having some of its power because without the drag the rocket would be pulled down to the ground within a matter of seconds. I don't know how it affects it on its ascent!! Sorry!!


What factors affect the drag force that acts on high speed train?

Air resistant


Why is th tip of the rocket made pointer?

The tip of a rocket is pointy to increase aerodynamics and reduces drag. For example, if a rocket had a flat end, it would create more drag and slow the rocket down. It's also the same for planes too.


What is the difference between a long rocket fin and a short rocket fin?

A longer fin has increased aerodynamic drag. The geometric relationship between the drag caused by the fins and the center of gravity of the rocket determine the stability of the rocket in flight. Less aerodynamic drag means the rocket can go higher or farther, but it also means the rocket is less stable in flight. This tradeoff has to be considered in the design of the rocket.


What factors affect work?

Work is done when an object moves in the direction in which a force is applied to it. So the factors are the magnitude and direction of the applied force and the factors which affect the object's motion. The latter will include the mass of the object and friction (including drag).


How does a nose cone on a bottle rocket affect its flight path?

While a nose cone can either reduce or add drag, it provides a minimal amount of stability to the rocket' flight path. The fins are the most critical component for stabilizing a rocket's flight path; that's where your focus should be.


Why does a rocket start vertically and then why doesnt it keep going vertically?

A vertical takeoff enables a rocket to get through the atmosphere with the least amount of fuel and drag. After takeoff, the rocket will progressively lean over to a more horizontal position because it follows the gravity turn trajectory.


How do you reduce drag on a rocket?

By making it more streamlined and aerodynamic


How many forces acting are on a rocket?

There are four forces acting upon a rocket these are: Thrust, Gravity, Drag and Lift.
