How do rockets work in 1 paragraph?
Rockets work on the principle of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. They expel gas at high speed from their engines, creating thrust that propels the rocket forward. This is achieved through the combustion of fuel and oxidizers in the rocket's engines, producing hot gases that are expelled through a nozzle. The design of the rocket and its engines allows for controlled ascent and maneuverability in space.
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.
What are d type of rockets?
All rockets use the same fuel and US has used the same platform for ages. If you mean model rockets, D engines are the most powerful.
Is it possible to make space travel much faster?
Yes ... but not with chemical engines - we need ion rockets - or perhaps nuclear engines.
What is mean by air breathers?
Air breathers are engines that breath air as opposed to rockets which do not.
What did Robert goddard attach to rockets to make them more efficient?
Internal Combustion Engines.
Why rocket fly in space instead of air?
I think I know what you're getting at... Rockets burn loads of fuel really quickly so we use jet engines in the atmosphere... The thing is that jet engines need oxygen to mix with fuel to burn it. Rocket engines contain their own oxygen which means that they are the most practical way for us to get into space.
Why do rockets engines in space have to carry their own oxygen?
Fire needs oxygen in order to burn, and there is no oxygen in space, so rockets must take oxygen with them.
How do you steer rockets?
Rockets are steered by various means, such as tilting the main engines, moving fins, and firing reaction thrusters. This is usually done fully automatically, by computer.
Are rockets engines made with magnet material to reduce vibration at launch?
No. Why would you think so?
Which is the fuel used in rocket engines?
It is hydrogen and oxygen, these two gases are mainly used in rockets
How much fuel does a space ship and rockets hold?
The amount of fuel a spaceship and its rockets can hold varies depending on the size and purpose of the spacecraft. For example, the Space Shuttle used to carry over 1.6 million pounds of propellant for its main engines. Rockets like the Falcon 9 can carry hundreds of thousands of pounds of fuel for their engines.
