That would depend on who is doing the counting. A NASA flight manager
waiting for the ship to arrive would count a different length of time compared
to a passenger on the spacecraft.

What speed rocket starts?

A rocket's speed at launch is typically zero, as it starts from a stationary position on the ground. The rocket gradually accelerates as it is propelled by its engines, reaching higher speeds as it ascends into space.


What is the second stage of a rocket?

The second stage of a rocket is designed to operate after the first stage has completed its burn and separated from the rocket. It typically contains its own engines and fuel, which are used to propel the payload into its intended orbit or trajectory. This stage is crucial for achieving the necessary velocity and altitude for missions beyond Earth's atmosphere, including satellite deployment and crewed spaceflight. Once its mission is complete, the second stage may also detach or re-enter the atmosphere, depending on the mission's objectives.


What happens to the second stage when the first stage uses up its fuel?

If things work as planned, the first stage uses up its fuel, and falls away, while the engines of the second stage ignite and push the rocket into a higher trajectory. This point in the launch sequence is called (predictably enough!) "staging", and it is at this point that things generally go terribly wrong if they are going to. You rarely hear of a rocket in which the second stage works properly and then the THIRD stage fails. When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted, then it, too, falls away while the third stage pushes the rocket into its final orbit, or off into the solar system. This "stages falling away" part is why the USA launches its rockets from Cape Canaveral in Florida; the discarded stages fall harmlessly into the Atlantic Ocean.


How does the law of force and acceleration apply to lanch of a rocket?

The law of force and acceleration, described by Newton's second law (F = ma), applies to a rocket launch by illustrating how the force generated by rocket engines propels the vehicle upward. As the engines burn fuel, they produce a thrust force that must overcome the gravitational pull acting on the rocket. The resulting acceleration of the rocket is directly proportional to the net force (thrust minus weight) and inversely proportional to its mass. As fuel is consumed, the mass decreases, allowing for greater acceleration as the rocket ascends.


How does a rocket launch demonstrate Newtons Rd law?

A rocket launch demonstrates Newton's third law of motion when the rocket propels itself upward by expelling exhaust gases downward. As the rocket fires its engines, it pushes the exhaust gases downward with a force. Simultaneously, the gases pushing downward create an equal and opposite force that propels the rocket upward, following Newton's third law that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Length is not measured in "per second".


What is a stage rocket?

That's a rocket with two stages- when the first stage (or section) runs out of fuel, it separates from the top half (second stage) and falls away, leaving that second stage to fire up, and drive the rocket higher.

If you were running a race, and you passed the person in second place, what place would you be in now?

If you passed him after you crossed the finish line, he finished 2nd so you're in the 3rd place now. Or you may have passed him while you were running the other way, you were not in the race at all, then hopefully you would be in the place you were running to. The simplest answer is that when you passed the person in second place, you would now be in second place yourself.


Why does the rocket speed increase every second?

The rocket speed increases every second because of the continuous burning of fuel, which generates thrust that propels the rocket forward. As the fuel is burned and expelled as exhaust, the rocket becomes lighter, allowing it to accelerate due to the conservation of momentum. Additionally, there is minimal air resistance in space, enabling the rocket to accelerate more efficiently.


When did the first rocket get launched into space?
