All things being equal , not necessarily, if one had staging rockets(Parks Plastics mad etwo-stage water rockets, a back-pressure valve controlled staging, maybe. the larger the rocket the greater the payload capacity-what it can lift, not necessarily the range. It"s like batteries the combinartion of cells produces, not the volume of one bigbatter whic wouyld only produc e l.5 volts!

What is the right amount of water to put in a bottle rocket so it will go high?

the right amount of water to put in a bottle rocket so it will fly high is 70 milliliters


Does a smaller water rocket go higher than a bigger one?

yes because a heavy rocket will not go high yes because a heavy rocket will not go high


Does air resistance act on boats?

As boats travel or sail on the sea, they move from areas of low temperatures ( high presure zone ) to high temperatures (low pressure). Therefore, areas of high have instatability in waves movement of the water whiles low pressure area have stable waves movement of water hence, ensures smooth navigation....................... this answer is from samuel and miipot from UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, WINNEBA-GHANA


How is heat like diffusion?

its nothing like diffusion actually diffusion is when water goes from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area.


Why can we achive greater speed using a combination of water and air as opposed to just air?

Sometimes figuring out the question itself is a fun little guessing game. My guess here is that you're talking about those water/air powered rockets, where you fill the rocket partway with water, then attach it to a pump and pump air into it to pressurize it. When the rocket is released, it will shoot high into the air. If you try the same thing without the water, the rocket will barely clear the launcher; it might go a couple of inches high if you're lucky.The reason it works so much better with the water is simple: reaction mass. Newton's Third Law says that F=ma. The "a" is more or less the same in each case and has to do with the pressure, but the "m" is a lot higher for water (about 1 g/ml) than it is for air (about 0.0013 g/ml). This means the force generated by the water/air mix is about 800 times greater than for just air.

How does the force change on how high the rocket goes?

Why is it important not to have any leaks in a water bottle rocket?

If you have leaks in a water bottle rocket, the pressure will quickly escape along with the water and the rocket won't be able to reach as high an altitude as a rocket without leaks.

Why do you need water for a water rocket?

You could use other non compressible liquids. You really are using the air trapped in the rocket as the energy source. The water compresses the air to very high levels and then is pushed back out the enf of your rocket.

How does pH level affects the river?

They affect the river by changing the temperature of the water, if the pH levels are high then the water is warmer and if the pH levels are low then the water is cold.


Which answer is a true statement about pH valuesPure water has a pH of 0 pH is important in life mainly because it affects the cohesion of water A high pH corresponds to a high H plus concentration?

Pure water has a pH=7.High pH correspond to high OH- concentration.
