How does a rocket continue to accelerate after launch?
It has a compartment of fuel like a car and stored the fuel so that once they launch off they can keep going after they drop the bottom of the rocket and then use the journey fuel.
How many Apollo mission were launched?
Well "Apollo 1" burned up on the pad during a practice session with no fuel in the Saturn V rocket, killing the 3 astronauts. The final launch was Apollo 17, so I'd guess 16.
What is a rocket housing called?
The housing or structure that holds the rocket's components, such as the engine, payload, and fuel, is known as the rocket's body or airframe. It is typically cylindrical in shape, and is designed to withstand the forces and conditions experienced during launch and flight.
Why does a rocket take more fuel to launch off the moon than earth?
Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.
How far away are the bleachers from the launch pad on Apollo 13?
Because the fuel burned off.
Why does the weight of a rocket change during a liftoff?
MOST of the structure that you see lifting off from the launch-pad consists of giant tanks full of various types of fuel, and MOST of that fuel is burned in the first few minutes of the flight, to get the whole thing off the ground, out of the atmosphere, and into earth orbit. The weight of the whole vehicle drops drastically, as all that rocket fuel is being pumped out of the tanks and burned.

When did Robert Goddard launch the liquid fuel rocket?
1926

Does the fuel effect a rocket?
Yes it does. It is the primary factor involved in lending the rocket the ability to leave the launch pad.
When did Robert Goddard launch the first liqued-fuel rocket?
The fisrt liquid fuel was made in 1926
What exactly is fireworks?
A firework is a rocket; in its most simple form, it is a tube of rocket fuel When the fuel is burned, it produces gases that are forced out of the nozzle, shooting the rocket away from earth

Why don't astronauts soft-land on Earth with retro-rockets?
Rocket fuel is very heavy and it would take more rocket fuel for the launch to carry the weight of the fuel for retro rockets.
When a rocket is seated on the launcher it has what energy?
It has chemical energy. The fuel is not yet burned.
Why does a rocket take more fuel to launch off the moon than earth?
Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.
