What kind of fuel does rockets take?
Rockets commonly use liquid propellants like liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, or solid propellants like a mixture of a fuel and an oxidizer, such as ammonium perchlorate and powdered aluminum. These fuels provide the energy needed for the rockets to generate thrust and lift off into space.
Do people use helium to lift off rockets?
No. Helium is one of the lightest elements in the world and is not commonly used in any form of transportation. To answer your question the compound used to lift rockets is liquid oxygen.
What is the fuel in rockets?
Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are used as the propellant in the high efficiency main engines of the Space Shuttle. LOX/LH2 also powered the upper stages of the Saturn V and Saturn 1B rockets. Another cryogenic fuel with desirable properties for space propulsion systems is liquid methane.
What is lift from a rocket?
Rockets do not have lift, they have thrust.
Why do rockets have potential energy?
Rockets have potential energy because they store chemical energy in their fuel, which is converted into kinetic energy as the rocket propels forward. As the fuel is burned and expelled out of the rocket, it pushes against the ground or atmosphere, causing the rocket to move and lift off the ground.
Fuel for shuttle takeoff?
Shuttles are powered by a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, known as rocket propellants. These propellants are mixed and burned in the shuttle's main engines to generate the thrust needed for lift-off. The combustion of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen produces a high-energy reaction that propels the shuttle into space.
How does rockets aid in space exploration?
Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.
What enables a space shuttle to lift off?
Two huge solid fuel rockets, and Three big rocket motors burning fuel from an external tank big as a grain silo at a ferocious rate.
Why do engineers need to keep the masses of spacecrafts as low as possible?
The heavier it is the stronger the engine has to be. And the stronger the engine the more fuel will it burn. And the more fuel it burns the more fuel has to be carried in the rocket. And the more fuel the rocket has to lift the stronger the engine has to be.
How do rockets work in space?
Well it all has to do with propultion like when a shuttle pushes with rocket thrust into space. I wouldn't say that what a rocket does is worthy of the term flight. A rocket simply provides a force that is greater than the force of gravity and thereby gains in altitude provided it is pointed in the right direction to begin with. True flight has to involve the use of air-foils or wings which turn velocity into lift. If you put wings on a rocket then yes rockets are capable of flight in that the rocket provides the thrust necessary to utilize the wings to provide lift.
How do you get the lift key in team rockets hideout?
