What is the part of a rocket called that falls off at blastoff?
Usually nothing deliberately falls off a rocket right at liftoff. However most rockets are attached to the launchpad by metal tie down brackets, when the engines have reached full power explosive bolts separate the rocket from these brackets allowing it to leave the launchpad. Multistage rockets allow expended boosters and/or stages to fall off, but this does not happen at liftoff, it typically happens several minutes after liftoff.
How many forces acting are on a rocket?
There are four forces acting upon a rocket these are: Thrust, Gravity, Drag and Lift.
Why does the weight of rocket change during liftoff?
Because the engines are burning large amounts of fuel and oxidizer every second (in some rockets as much as ten tons per second) and ejecting the products of this burning at high velocity to generate thrust.
What is the correct term used to describe the setting of a rocket or spacecraft into motion?
The most accurate answer is called liftoff or takeoff. I hope that was a good enough answer for you Thanks annonomuis
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.
What two forces are present during the liftoff of a rocket?
gravity and lift
What two forces present during the liftoff of the rocket?

What are 2 forces are present during liftoff of a rocket?

Where does the energy for a rocket's liftoff come from?
Chemical energy, stored in the fuel.

What four forces is a model rocket subject to during a flight?
Lift, drag, thrust, and gravity.
What is the white stuff on the Saturn rocket at liftoff?
Its ice that has formed (and shaken lose at lift off) off the sides of the rocket closest to the super cool liquid hydrogen or liquid oxygen tanks.
What is a good location for a rocket launch?
Near the equator, for two reasons:1) warmth- if ice is formed around the rocket, during liftoff the pieces can fling at high speeds and damage the rocket. (something similar happened during the Challenger disaster)2) speed- since the earth has the largest circumference around the equator (think of a tire- the outside of the tire goes faster than the inside during every turn). Therfore, it gives the rocket an extra 'boost' into space to break the gravitational pull.Of course, there's also other practical needs-away from large cities and airports, so that the intense vibrations at liftoff won't affect anyone and there won't be any disturbances like airplanes around the launchpad.
Who was the first president to watch a space liftoff first hand?
The first president to watch a space liftoff first hand was John F. Kennedy. He witnessed the launch of the Saturn V rocket carrying the Apollo 11 mission to the moon on July 16, 1969.
What two forces slow rocket down when out of fuel?
inertia and friction are the two forces that slow down a rocket
How many forces acting are on a rocket?
There are four forces acting upon a rocket these are: Thrust, Gravity, Drag and Lift.
