Yes. That is an advantage of a liquid fueled rocket.
On the other hand, a solid fueled rocket is simpler and therefore cheaper but once it is started, you have to wait until it burns itself out.

Can you shut off a liquid rocket?
Yes. That is an advantage of a liquid fueled rocket. On the other hand, a solid fueled rocket is simpler and therefore cheaper but once it is started, you have to wait until it burns itself out.
Did the rocket nell fail?
No, it worked as designed. While it didn't fly very high it did take off and fly as far as the propellant would carry it. This was the first successful flight of a liquid-fueled rocket.
What is the white stuff on the Saturn rocket at liftoff?
Its ice that has formed (and shaken lose at lift off) off the sides of the rocket closest to the super cool liquid hydrogen or liquid oxygen tanks.
How do spaceships take off?
They use solid or liquid rocket boosters, liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen mostly, and a few others mostly.
What does a shut off valve regulate?
An air-intake engine shut-off valve regulates air-flow to the motor, and operates as an emergency shut-off valve. There are also shut-off valves on water hoses, so shut-off valves really control the inflow of any liquid or gas.
What are the advantages of liquid fuel rocket engines?
There are two types of rockets -- those that use liquid fuel and those that use solid fuel. Liquid fuel rockets have two main advantages. Liquid fuel rocket engines burning can be controlled. That is, they can be turned on and off, and their thrust (pushing force) can be controlled/varied. Second, they produce more thrust for the same amount (weight) of fuel -- called specific impulse. Liquid fuel is also cheaper, but that's rarely a consideration as it is such a small part of the cost.
What controls the thrust of a rocket?
Liquid rocket engines would act much like a car engine. More fuel, more thrust. Solid rocket engines are either on or off. No throttle control.
What is the difference between soild and liquid fuel rocket engines?
A solid fuel rocket engine is just what it sounds like. The fuel inside the rocket is completely solid. In a liquid fuel rocket the fuel is a liquid. Bottle Rockets that you can buy in many stores are fueled with Solid Fuel. Most liquid fuel rockets contain 2 different types of fuel. Once that fuel is mixed and ignited you get your thrust.
Where are rockets fueled?
a the take off station.
What are examples of Acceleration by increasing speed?
-- Dropping a stone off the edge of a cliff.-- Flooring the "accelerator" pedal while keeping the wheel straight.-- The speed of a bottle rocket or a Delta rocket before their fuel is used up or engine is shut down.
Where is the fuel shut off for a 1999 dodge neon?
Dodge does not use shut off switches.Dodge does not use shut off switches.
Can space rockets be stopped once ignited?
Depends on the type of fuel being used, solid rocket fuel can not be turn off, liquid fuel can.
