The thrust of any rocket engine depends on two factors what are they?
The thrust of a rocket engine depends on the mass flow rate of the propellant and the exhaust velocity of the gases expelled. The mass flow rate is the amount of propellant being burned and expelled per unit time, while the exhaust velocity is how fast the gases leave the engine. Together, these factors determine the overall thrust produced by the engine according to Newton's third law of motion.
What forces slow a rocket down?
Air resistance (drag) is a major force that slows a rocket down during ascent. Additionally, gravity can also act as a downward force, counteracting the thrust generated by the rocket engines. These forces combined with any thrust reversals during engine shutdown can contribute to slowing down a rocket.
If a rocket's thrust equals weight of rocket will the rocket maintain a fixed height?
If and only if all of the thrust is in the opposite direction of the gravity vector ("straight down"). If any of the thrust has horizontal component, it will travel a distance but lose height.
What determines how much thrust is generated in a solid fuel rocket engine at any given time?
The amount of exposed surface area of the fuel
Are there any element or compound that creates thrust in a reaction?
Yes, elements like hydrogen and oxygen can react to form water vapor in a combustion reaction, creating thrust in a rocket engine. Compounds like solid rocket propellants can also release energy through exothermic reactions that generate thrust.
What is an ionization engine?
An ionization engine is an type of rocket and this is how it works. Electrons ionize air molecules and then when they get between two accelerator grids and then they go zooming out the back providing thrust more powerful and more sudden than any other rocket or engine to date.
How much thrust does a rocket need to get to outer space?
A rocket needs enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and achieve the required velocity to reach outer space, typically around 25,000 mph (40,000 km/h). The exact thrust needed depends on various factors such as the rocket's size, weight, and the altitude it needs to reach.
What is an ionizer?
An ionization engine is an type of rocket and this is how it works. Electrons ionize air molecules and then when they get between two accelerator grids and then they go zooming out the back providing thrust more powerful and more sudden than any other rocket or engine to date.
When a rocket launches what must the thrust of the engines be greater than?
When a rocket launches, the thrust of its engines must be greater than the gravitational force acting on the rocket, which is the weight of the rocket. This ensures that the rocket can overcome Earth's gravity and lift off the ground. Additionally, the thrust must also be sufficient to counteract any atmospheric drag during ascent.
When released why does a balloon moves like a rocket?
A balloon does not move like a rocket. A helium filled balloon will float upward because the density of helium is less than that of air, so it is effectively "lighter". A rocket is propelled in any direction using a booster engine that burns fuel.
What forces act upon a rocket in space?
In space, the main forces acting upon a rocket include thrust generated by the engine to propel the rocket forward, gravity pulling the rocket towards a celestial body, and occasionally solar radiation pressure affecting the rocket's trajectory. Additionally, the rocket may experience small amounts of drag due to any lingering atmosphere in orbit.
Is smoke coming out of a rocket a indicator that the engine is producing thrust?
not exactly,there could be powder coming out of a hole or puncture in the rocket.that could cause an explosion sending flaming debree everywhere.you should inspect the rocket first.if you see lots of smoke you can: a.throw a rock at it while it is still low to the ground b.send another rocket at it to make it explode c.DON'T LAUNCH ROCKETS WITHOUT INSPECTING THEM!
