Compare the payloads of ancient and modern rockets?
it's the comparison between the fuels used, solid / liquid
Does rockets use fossil fuels?
Most rockets today use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as fuel, not fossil fuels. These fuels react to produce water vapor and can be considered eco-friendly compared to fossil fuels. However, some rockets still use a combination of liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel, which is a fossil fuel.
What substances is a liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
There are several possibilities. The largest NASA rockets used liquid hydrogen (with liquid oxygen as the oxidizer).Hydrazine is one of the more powerful fuels, but it is dangerous and difficult to handle. Some rockets use a version of kerosene, the same chemical used as jet fuel.Liquid hydrogen. Because it has such i low boiling point, it must be super cooled to liquid form.
What two fuels that rockets use and space shuttles?
Oxygen and hydrogen
What does the External Tank hold fuel for?
The rockets underneath the shuttle. The side rockets have solid fuel that essentially fuels a controlled explosion out of the nozzles.
Why petroleum products are less used in the rockets?
Petroleum products are less commonly used in rockets because they are heavier and less energy-dense compared to other rocket fuels like liquid hydrogen or hydrazine. These other fuels provide better performance in terms of thrust and efficiency, making them more suitable for rocket propulsion. Additionally, the combustion of petroleum products can produce more harmful emissions and residues compared to other fuels.
Which gas is used in rockets?
The primary performance advantage of liquid propellants is due to the oxidizer. Several practical liquid oxidizers (liquid oxygen, nitrogen tetroxide, and hydrogen peroxide) are available which have better specific impulse than the ammonium perchlorate used in most solid rockets, when paired with comparable fuels.
What are 2 types of rockets?
There are two basic types of rocket engines, solid fuel and liquid fuel. NASA mostly uses liquid fuel rockets, and model rockets are usually solid fuel. There are two types of solid fuels. Composite and black powder. Composite fuels are lighter and generally have higher thrust than the black powder motors. I hope this answers your question!
Which Allies used rockets in World War 2?
At various times they all used rockets, however the Katyusha rockets used by the USSR were popular, common and effective.
Chinese use of rockets in battle?
Chinese people used the rockets as weapons in wars. They also used them for fireworks for special celebrations. They called the rockets "arrows of fire". Rockets now, are much BIGGER for the rockets used for war in china. Alison Chia Hui Xin
