Inertia connects to a rocket by affecting its motion. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so a rocket must overcome this resistance to move and accelerate in space. Rockets are designed to counteract the effects of inertia by generating thrust to push them forward despite the inertia acting against their motion.

How does inertia apply to a rocket?

Inertia in a rocket refers to its resistance to changes in motion. A rocket overcomes inertia by expelling mass through its exhaust to propel itself forward. The rocket's momentum is determined by the amount of mass it expels and the speed at which it does so.


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.


How does a rocket use inertia?

A rocket uses the principle of inertia to propel itself forward by expelling high-speed exhaust gases in the opposite direction to create a reaction force that propels the rocket in the desired direction. The rocket maintains its forward motion due to its inertia, which is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.


What effect does the mass of a rocket have on its acceleration?

A heavier rocket will have a lower acceleration compared to a lighter rocket, assuming the same amount of force is applied. This is because the heavier rocket will require more force to overcome its inertia and accelerate.


What happens when you jump out of a rocket in space?

If you were to jump out of a rocket in space, you would continue moving in the same direction and at the same velocity as the rocket due to inertia. Without any external forces acting on you, you would float alongside the rocket in the vacuum of space.


How does rocket goes up?

A rocket goes up by creating thrust through the combustion of rocket fuel in its engines. This thrust propels the rocket upwards against Earth's gravity, allowing it to overcome the force pulling it down and ascend into space. Once in space, the rocket continues on its trajectory due to its 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?

Once the rocket stops pushing the probe, it continues moving due to its inertia. In the vacuum of space, without any air resistance to slow it down, the probe will keep moving at a constant velocity until acted upon by another force, such as gravity from a celestial body or a thruster on the probe itself.


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.
