Rocket carries fuel in form of?
it carries fuel in the form of liquid
What is the difference between a rocket and the space shuttle?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled…
What is difference between jet and missile?
The jet takes in air from outside and burns the oxygen in it with fuel to produce thrust, the missile with its rocket engine carries oxygen internally in chemical form and needs no air with which to burn the fuel carried in a separate tank. That's why jets can only operate within the atmosphere and rockets are needed for flight outside it.
What is the difference between soild and liquid fuel rocket engines?
A solid fuel rocket engine is just what it sounds like. The fuel inside the rocket is completely solid. In a liquid fuel rocket the fuel is a liquid. Bottle Rockets that you can buy in many stores are fueled with Solid Fuel. Most liquid fuel rockets contain 2 different types of fuel. Once that fuel is mixed and ignited you get your thrust.
What is the difference between an airplane and a spacecraft?
The simple answer is that an airplane and a jet use the air around us for lift. Spacecraft are designed to fly outside of our atmosphere so there is no air. They use powerful rocket engines to lift themselves into space. A spacecraft must be sealed for anyone to live in it. It must carry anything but fuel only its fuel but the oxygen to burn the rocket engines. An airplane can bring in air…
Where is the fuel kept in a liquid fuel rocket?
Most of a liquid rocket is actually the fuel tanks. In the case of a liquid the hydrogen and oxygen tanks are stacked vertically and are about the diameter of the whole vehicle and nearly span its length. The tanks are connected with a light weight fram or are integrated into one large tank with a seperator to keep the fuels from mixing. There is usually a small structure it the bottom that houses the…
How does a rocket launch?
A rocket is propelled into the air by the exhaust from burning fuel. As the exhaust leaves the back of the rocket, the rocket experiences an equal and opposite reaction, being pushed forward (upward). There does not have to be anything for the gases to push against, so rocket engines (with their own oxygen supply) can work in outer space as well as on Earth. The only way for a rocket to reach an orbit…
What happens in the first stage of a multistage rocket?
The first stage of a multistage rocket accelerates the rocket from rest (on the launch pad), up to several thousand miles per hour. It's where the rocket receives the most acceleration. The important thing is to give the rocket as much speed as quickly as possible, so that it can safely and efficiently escape the earths gravity. The first stage, therefore, carries the most fuel. Once this has been consumed, the empty first stage falls…
What is the difference between a rocket and a jet engine?
Well, to start with, a rocket creates thrust by expelling combusted fuel out the back of an opening in the tank or fuel container. The thrust is created by the chemical reaction you might call an explosion. A jet engine uses fans and multiple levels of chambers to compress air which it sucks in the front and blows out the back with greater force. A jet engine sucks oxygen from the air and combusts it…
What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it. A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into…
Which law of motion is used to explain how a rocket takeoff?
The third law applies here. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the rocket fuel is ignited it exerts enormous thrust directed downwards. If the rocket is not constrained to the launching pad (with very very heavy restraints) it sees no other way to nullify the enormous thrust but to set itself in motion. Soon as more fuel burns, the rocket accelerates. As a side, if the rocket was restrained with…
How is it possible for a rocket to propel itself through space?
This is possible via the conservation of momentum. A rocket ejects matter from its back and this matter carries momentum. To conserve momentum the rocket must gain an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction. Since momentum is related to velocity this causes the rocket to move. This is basically an application of Newton's third law. You might have been confused with the situation in air. For example an airplane moves through air by…
Where does a rocket keep oxygen to burn?
Only liquid fuelled rockets (and then only some) rely on oxygen as the oxidizer. It is carried in liquid form in a tank (or tanks). It is them pumped and mixed with the fuel in the combustion chamber where the combustion reaction takes place. The combusion products then exit the rocket nozzle. In solid fuel rockets, the oxidizer (whatever that may be) is usually mixed with the fuel.
