Best Answer

Yes. For rockets flying at supersponic or hypersonic speeds, the best shape is the conical nose. For missiles and military models, the best shape is the ogive shape. However, for commercial aircraft and model rockets, the best, most aerodynamic and efficient shape is the parabolic nose cone.

When the rocket goes up why does it separate?

When model rockets get to the apogee of flight they separate or eject the nose cone to release the parachute that will let the rocket down without breaking it.When model rockets get to the apogee of flight they separate or eject the nose cone to release the parachute that will let the rocket down without breaking it.

The best shape of a rocket is a cylinder with a cone at the top, because that form penetrates easily trough the wind!


Why do you use fins and cone for a bottle rocket?

You use fins and a nose cone on a bottle rocket because the cone reduces the drag on the rocket, and the fins help stabilize the rocket.

A Parabola.


If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone the resulting curve is?

The "conic section" that is produced when a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone is a parabola. In the case where the plane also intersects the vertex of the cone, the parabola becomes two intersecting lines.
