How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
How much fuel does a rocket carry?
The amount of fuel a rocket carries can vary greatly depending on its size, purpose, and destination. For example, the Saturn V rocket used in the Apollo program carried over 3 million kilograms of fuel. Today's Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX typically carries around 400,000 kilograms of fuel.
What is crygenic engine?
A liquid-fuel rocket or a liquid rocket is a rocket with an engine that uses propellants in liquid form.
What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
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 by a rocket.
Which type of engine carries its own supply of oxygen?
A rocket has it's own supply of oxygen.
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
How much fuel is in a fuel tank of a rocket ship?
The amount of fuel in a rocket ship's fuel tank varies significantly depending on the type and size of the rocket. For example, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carries about 1,000,000 pounds of propellant, while the Saturn V, used during the Apollo missions, held approximately 12 million pounds of fuel. The specific fuel capacity is designed based on the mission requirements, payload, and intended orbit.
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.
What was the earliest form of rocket fuel?
The earliest form of rocket fuel was gunpowder, which was invented in China during the 9th century. Gunpowder is a mixture of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, which burns rapidly to produce thrust for rockets.
What is a type of motor that burns fuel without air?
An example of a motor that burns fuel without air is a solid fuel rocket motor. These motors contain both fuel and oxidizer within the fuel itself, allowing combustion to occur without the need for external air.
Why does a rocket carry its own oxygen?
A rocket carries its own oxygen because it needs oxygen to enable combustion of fuel for propulsion in the vacuum of space where there is no atmospheric oxygen. This allows the rocket to generate thrust and propel itself forward.
Are the solid fuel rocket or the liquid fuel rocket faster?
liquid fuel
