The nose cone separates when forward flight is ended and the motor 'retrofires', blowing off the nose cone and exposing the parachute.

Why are nose cones on rockets?
The pointed end reduces flat-plate drag so that maximum speed can be induced from the thrust.
When the rocket goes up why does it separate?
When model rockets get to the apogee of flight they separate or eject the nose cone to release the parachute that will let the rocket down without breaking it.When model rockets get to the apogee of flight they separate or eject the nose cone to release the parachute that will let the rocket down without breaking it.
What element is in rocket nose cones?
The best nose cones are made out of simple polystyrene plastic. There are balsa wood ones to, but they are second best.
What is a nose cone for a model rocket?
Most model rockets have a nose cone that is either a solid block of balsa wood, or a hollow plastic shell. Some rockets require that a small amount of weight be added to the front end of the rocket to make it fly in a stable (straight) manner. In these rockets, nose weight is often added inside of hollow nose cones - common material for weight is a small blob of modelling clay or a solid blob of glue. When nose weight needs to be added to a rocket with a solid balsa nose cone, it is common to add a small metal washer to the bottom end of the nose cone (which will end up inside the body tube when the rocket is assembled.) The amount of nose weight needed in the size rockets commonly sold in hobby stores is usually between 0 and 20 grams.

I understand that the nose-cones for the Concordes were all built at Brooklands in England.

What is a cargo that rides in the nose of a rocket?
Currently, we use the cargo space of rockets for satellites.
Why ceramics are chosen to make the nose of space rockets?
They can withstanded high tempertures, and are light in weight.
A reactive metal with a high melting point it is used in the manufacture of rocket nose cones?
Titanium
Is the parabola nose cone the best for a model rocket?
Yes. For rockets flying at supersponic or hypersonic speeds, the best shape is the conical nose. For missiles and military models, the best shape is the ogive shape. However, for commercial aircraft and model rockets, the best, most aerodynamic and efficient shape is the parabolic nose cone.
What is the definition of a rocketshock cord?
If you are talking about hobby rockets, then the shock cord is what holds the nose cone and the parachute in
