What keeps a probe moving after the rocket no longer pushes it?
Inertia. Newton's first law.
How does inertia apply to a rocket?
It either keeps it still on the ground or stable as it's moving, but I'm not Stephen Hawking...
How does a rocket use inertia?
As a rocket enters space, there is no opposing force to slow it down, so as it continues, it loses no momentum. THere is no outside force to act on it to slow so it can save fuel.
What is property of things to resist changes in motion is called?
Inertia
What is associated with inertia?
Inertia is associated with mass
What keeps a rocket going after the rocket is no longer pushed?
inertia (newton's third law of motion)
What two forces slow rocket down when out of fuel?
inertia and friction are the two forces that slow down a rocket
What keeps the probe moving in space after the rocket no longer pushes it?
Inertia.
A space probe may be carried by a rocket into outer space what keep the probe moving after the rocket no longer pushes it?
Inertia.
How does a rocket stay in orbit?
Centrifugal Force: The effect of inertia. A rocket works by ejecting gas to achieve orbitNewton's Third law of Motion

Why does most of the work done in launching a rocket take place when the rocket is close to the Earth's surface?
Inertia can be thought of figuratively as a mass's laziness. Think of when you are lazy. When you're lazy and doing nothing, you tend to stay that way. You continue to do nothing unless prodded to do something. (Perversely, in people, laziness causes idleness and idleness causes laziness.) Well, masses are the same way. When they're inert -- meaning not moving -- they tend to stay that way because of their laziness. That laziness is called inertia. When a huge rocket laden with tons of fuel is sitting on the launch pad, it has tremendous inertia because it is massive. To get that thing moving takes a huge amount of power. But once it's moving, the rocket's inertia, instead of being a handicap, becomes an asset, because any mass, once it's moving, likes to stay moving. Moreover, as the rocket burns off fuel, its mass decreases, so less energy is required to propel it.
How can you transfer materials from moon to earth?
we have to connect mini rockets to the main rocket which will transfer material
What happens when a rocket stops pushing a person in space?
The momentum (given by the property of inertia) makes whatever was propelled by the rocket continue at the same velocity as before, until another force (like running into a planet) affects that object.
