Does mass effect air resistance?
Not directly. Air resistance depends on an object's shape and type of surface.
What are the factors that effect air resistance?
size , shape , and speed of the object
What are the forces that act on a rocket?
Thurst & Gravity & Air resistance
Why is rocket plane more efficient in the absence of air?
A rocket plane does not have to fight against air resistance if there is no air.
What is the shape that reduces air resistance?
streamlined shape
What effect does the wind have on the way you launch the rocket?
The wind negatively affects the rocket. This is because the air resistance, as the rocket goes up, increases rapidly and slows down the rocket.

What factors influence the distance a rocket can fly?
Wind and air resistance will affect the rocket's flight. Hence, shape of the fin is one of the other factors that will change the rockets centre of mass, and how much it drags in the air.
What overall change in the shape of a car would reduce the effect of air resistance?
inclined
What will help a rocket fly higher?
A good balance of propulsion and weight, and make sure that it has a good aerodynamic structure, because sometimes the nose of a rocket tends to be in a shape that creates more wind resistance.
How do you lower air resistance on a rocket?
put your finger in it
What is the best wing shape of a toy rocket?
This depends on many things, it varies with the agle you are goint to shoot it with and the funktion of the rocket (length, stability, perhaps returning to the shooter) Assuming your rocket is to be launched straight up in the air the wings is only a mean of stabilizing it. For this kind of rocket the wings should be hard and has as little resistance as possible The shape should be like the triangular ones you see in the movies and you should use about 3 or 4 of them hope this helps:)
Why do rockets have a pointed shape at the front?
I think it is because of air resistance. Think about it, when objects fly up in the atmosphere they still must get past the air molecules floating around. The rocket tips being sharper allows the rocket to "slice" in between the molecules, which makes the rocket fly faster and easier. If the top was flat, the rocket would have to "push" the molecules out of the way, which would slow the rocket down.
What is the effect on the body of rocket fuel in cigarettes?
turns you into a rocket
How does shape and air resistance can effect the laws of gravity?
It doesn't. The force of gravity depends on the masses involved, and their distance. However, air resistance can introduce other forces, that counteract the force of gravity.
A rocket becomes progressively easier to accelerate as it travels upward from the ground mainly because?
The rocket's acceleration is created by the net force acting on it. There are three forces acting on the rocket: the thrust provided by the engines, gravity or weight, and air resistance. The acceleration is inversely proportional to the rocket's mass. This is Newton's Second Law: (acceleration) = (net force) / (mass) We need to think about the direction of the forces. The thrust acts upward (call this positive), and both gravity and air resistance acts downward (call these negative). So we get (acceleration) = (thrust - weight - air resistance) / mass A typical rocket engine will provide constant thrust as long as the fuel lasts. But as the engine consumes fuel, expelling the exhaust products out the back of the rocket, the rocket's mass decreases. This tends to increase the rocket's acceleration since acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass. In addition to the decreasing mass, the rocket's weight decreases as it moves farther from the center of the Earth--- this effect is described by Newton's Law of Gravity. The rocket's decreasing weight tends to increase its upward acceleration. The action of air resistance is more complicated, and ordinarily we ignore air resistance in simple models just to avoid the complication air resistance gives to the problem. In the standard air resistance model, air resistance scales with the square of the rocket's speed and the air density. The rocket is moving faster and faster, but the air density is also decreasing as it rises through the atmosphere. I think we can safely say the air resistance force decreases as the rocket gains altitude, but a detailed answer illustrating precisely how this force changes would require a numerical simulation. Hope this helps!
