How can you tell if the forces are balanced once the rocket is in flight?

You should test your rocket's stability BEFORE you launch! Locate the center of gravity (CG) on your rocket and tie a long string (about 6 feet long) around the body of your rocket at the CG point. Take the other end of the string and swing it over your head around your body. If it flies straight, you're good. If it wobbles or tumbles, then you need to shift the CG more forward of the center point. If you don't know the relationship of "center of gravity" and "center point", you should read up first before you consider launching a rocket. Apogee.com is a great site to learn from. Good luck!

Is pushing something until it stops a balanced or un balanced force?
During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion, even if it is slowing it to a stop. Balanced forces produce no change.
How does a rocket achieve maximum flight?
A rocket (firework) achieves maximum height once the fuel plus upward thrust runs out. Then gravity takes over and the rocket falls back to the ground.
Are the forces balanced or unbalanced when you push a box of books until it is moving at 0.5 miles per second?
During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion. Balanced forces produce no change.It's kind of funny that you're pushing your box 1800 miles per hour, though! :)
What comic hero has rocket feet?
Iron Man is a comic hero known for his suit of armor that includes various advanced technology, including rocket boots for flight and mobility.
Do balanced forces make objects move?
Yes but they will not make the object start, they will only work once the object is going and will keep the object going the same speed from when the unbalenced forces stop.
How do you get out of the teamrocket uniform in Pokemon soulsilver rocket uniform in Pokemon soulsilver?
Most likely, you are working in Goldenrod city to defeat team rocket, and your answer is once you get inside the radio tower, you will try to go up a flight of stairs, and your arch enemy will walk up and recognize you. You reveal your real clothes, and you will have to start fighting team rocket again.
When a skier is going down a mountain is it a balanced force?
By definition, if he is accelerating, then it is an unbalanced force ... which means he JUST jumped out the plane and his downward speed in increasing. Once he reaches a particular speed (called terminal velocity; lets call it for a general case of about 110 mph), the force of DRAG will be equal to the force due to gravity and he will no longer be accelerating, no longer increasing in speed, and he will then have balanced forces. Since the variables are always changing, drag will change with the most subtle changes in the skydiver's orientation either intentionally or unintentionally and the air resistance is constantly changing with increase in density, the forces will never be truly balanced. The effect of both forces will seesaw between one or the other being dominant. Terminal velocity is achieved when that process is minimal. It is of note that the effect of gravity itself is changing but over a skydive, the effect is negligible and may be ignored.
Does a rocket use lift?
A pure rocket uses only the reaction force generated by gases exiting the nozzle at high speed. If you meant lift in the sense of aerodynamic lift, it is not required for rocket flight, although some assemblies use it during the atmospheric portion of the flight to partially support and lift the assembly and for partial attitude control, and there are airplanes that use rockets for attitude control and propulsion at high altitudes. Once most of the atmosphere has been left behind, there is no usable aerodynamic force available. The most common use for rockets in manned flight is for rocket-assisted takeoff of powered aircraft. In those cases, the rocket thrust is used to aid acceleration and climb performance.
What is the difference between a rocket and shuttles?
A rocket goes up once and might also come down once, while a shuttle is built to be reuseable.
How high can model rockets go?
Once it has managed to escape the Earths gravitational pull and then the suns gravitational pull, a space craft will have enough speed to carry on indefinitely, so long as it does not collide with anything. If it has enough fuel and thrust to get up to this escape speed, then it wont stop, since there will be no forces to slow it down in space, even once the engines have stopped.
What is a V-2 and what does it have to do with a rocket?
A V-2 was a rocket designed and built during WW2 by Nazi Germany, under the technical direction of Verner Von Braum. In general, it is classified as a "rocket" rather than as a "missile", since, once-launched, the V-2 did not change trajectory. That is, rockets are generally "unguided" (that is, they have a set ballistic path, and any guidance they might have strictly maintains this flight path), while missile use some sort of "intelligence" to alter their flight path, either to reflect a moving target's path, or to avoid external countermeasures or obstacles.
