How has the design of rockets changed?
The design of rockets has certainly changed over time. Rockets now are designed to be sleek and very efficient on fuel.
What are microcircuits used for?
In Rockets.
When do rockets get very hot?
When they are launched.
Where is a turbine used?
In jets, speed boats, rockets, some helicopters
Are rockets and jet engines the same?
No. Jet engines draw oxygen from the atmosphere to mix and burn with jet fuel, and cannot function in a vacuum. Rockets carry their own oxygen, and can travel in the vacuum of space.
How is a satellite corrected if it moves to far from its orbit?
Retro rockets .
Why don't astronauts soft-land on Earth with retro-rockets?
Rocket fuel is very heavy and it would take more rocket fuel for the launch to carry the weight of the fuel for retro rockets.
How did the lunar module slow down to land on the moon?
Retro rockets slowed the LM down to landing speed.
Why do rockets take off?
Rockets take off to carry things (called payloads) into space. Do you mean 'how' do rockets take off, or how do rockets work?
Will rockets work in space?
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
How do cheats work with the retro duo?
i don't think they do but n64 does
Do rockets work better in space or in air?
Rockets generally work better in the space as compared on air. This is because there is no air resistance on the space.
Do model rockets and real rockets work the same?
Yes, both work by action/reaction. Model rockets are just much smaller, thus have much less fuel, so can't go near as high or as far.
What is negative speed in science?
Speed in science means vector (direction and velocity). Any force which lessens the vector can be considered negative speed. A spacecraft's retro rockets are a good example.
What law is the reason rockets work?
Galileo's law
Can you give me info on lemon juice rockets?
it does not work
How does a retro rocket work?
Just like any other rocket. The main difference is that the nozzle(and the direction of thrust) of a retro rocket is aimed in the opposite direction when compared to the main direction of travel. That's where the retro part comes in.
