It happens sometimes, but usually wind will push it off course.
The rocket launcher that shoots straight up in the air and comes down vertically on a enemy or target is called a Javelin.
Model rocket engines are reproductions of rocket engines that are scaled down to a much smaller size than the real thing. They usually don't do anything and are for display purposes.
Gravity will pull it down before the rocket can reach the height where clouds form.
No! The Earth we stand on is rotating, and if a rocket were to launch straight up and come right back down the Earth would have rotated to the right and the space craft would land to the west of the launch pad.
When model rockets get to the apogee of flight they separate or eject the nose cone to release the parachute that will let the rocket down without breaking it.When model rockets get to the apogee of flight they separate or eject the nose cone to release the parachute that will let the rocket down without breaking it.
I assume you are talking about a model rocket. Center of pressure needs to be below center of gravity in order for the rocket to fly straight. Mathematically, the rocket will tilt around the center of gravity but appear to be pushed from the center of pressure, hence the need for the center of pressure to be below the center of gravity, otherwise the rocket will just corkscrew off the pad. The fins move the center of pressure down.
If and only if all of the thrust is in the opposite direction of the gravity vector ("straight down"). If any of the thrust has horizontal component, it will travel a distance but lose height.
The parachute of a rocket is used to slow down the rocket when it falls down.
A rocket goes up once and might also come down once, while a shuttle is built to be reuseable.
Yes it does; depending on the wind changing. Sometimes a payload will slow it down and sometimes it will guide the rocket in the correct direction giving accuracy and distance.
an elephant will slow a rocket down
