What else can I help you with?
A rocket engine that provides the initial thrust for a launch and is then discarded is called what?
Booster stage
What does the engine do on a space rocket?
Provide thrust ... which changes velocity.
During a rocket launch whioch is greater thrust of the rocket engine or weight of the rocket?
During a rocket launch, the thrust of the rocket engine is greater than the weight of the rocket. This is necessary for the rocket to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and lift off into space. The thrust generated pushes the rocket upwards while gravity pulls it down.
What is a booster rocket?
A booster rocket is a propulsion system used to provide additional thrust during the launch phase of a spacecraft or missile. It typically operates in conjunction with the main engine, helping to lift the payload through the atmosphere by overcoming gravitational and atmospheric drag. Once its fuel is expended, a booster rocket is usually jettisoned to reduce weight. These rockets are essential for achieving the necessary velocity to reach orbit or escape Earth's gravity.
How many booster rockets does the space shuttle have?
The space shuttle had two solid rocket boosters attached to its external fuel tank to provide additional thrust at liftoff.
Can an ion engine provide as much thrust as a rocket?
not the ones in development now, but in the future if things progress - absolutely yes
What is the forward force produced in a rocket engine?
Thrust
What if the rocket is going up what is the force?
The force pushing the rocket upward is the thrust generated by the rocket engine. This thrust overcomes the force of gravity pulling the rocket down, allowing it to ascend. The magnitude of the force depends on the design and power of the rocket engine.
What is a device that is driven forward by a powerful stream of hot gas?
A Rocket
What is propulsive force of a rocket engine called?
The propulsive force of a rocket engine is called thrust. It is the force that propels the rocket in the opposite direction to the exhaust expelled from the rocket engine.
What is Rockets reaction force?
Rocket reaction force, also known as thrust, is the force exerted by a rocket engine to propel the rocket forward. This force is generated by the combustion of fuel in the rocket engine and is directed opposite to the direction in which the rocket travels. The magnitude of the thrust determines the acceleration of the rocket.
Working principal of rocket?
Rocket engines obtain their thrust in accordance with Isaac Newton's third law, making the rocket a reaction engine. A rocket engine is simply a jet engine.
