Why do rockets have potential energy?
Rockets in flight have kinetic energy. Rockets with remaining fuel have chemical energy. Rockets still able to fall back to Earth have potential energy.
Do airplanes with bigger wings fly farther than airplanes with smaller wings?
no
Which must be overcome by a rockets thrust?
The payload's weight, and the weight of the rocket itself.
What is the difference between aircrafts and airplanes?
Aircraft is a broad term, airplane is more specific. Just like people is a broad term, and then caucasian is a more specific term. Aircraft describes anything that flys, planes, jets, helicopters, ect. And planes are just talking about a portion of the aircrafts
What is airplanes made of?
Airplanes are made of a variety of materials. The earliest ones were made of pine wood and canvas. Then steel braces and nylon. Airplanes now can be made out of anything from wood and canvas, to magnesium alloys and aluminum. Most private planes are made out of canvas-nylons and steel frames. Commercial jets can be made out of aluminum and new models are starting to use light weight magnesium frames to cut down on weight and improve fuel efficiency. The most common material used now is aluminum and steel alloys.
Are rockets smaller than airplanes?
It depends. There are model rockets, which of course are smaller than airplanes. Then there are full scale rockets, which are larger than some airplanes. For example, the Space Shuttle Discovery is very large-bigger than most propeller planes and some commercial airliners. But Discovery is also transported on top of a 747. So depending on the rocket, or the airplane you are comparing it to, rockets can be both larger and smaller than airplanes.
Some engineer's facts?
enginners build rockets, airplanes, ect.
Who invented something before rockets?
