Why do rockets have a narrow top?
Rockets have a narrow top to reduce friction while trying to break through the atmosphere.
How does newtons second law apply to rockets?
Well newtons second law is f=ma of force=mass*acceleration, so when creating rockets, scientists must take into account all three of these factors. The mass or weight will determine how much friction it generates and therefor the amount of acceleration needed to surpass the friction. So newtons second law has everything to do with rockets.
What makes homemade rockets launch into the air?
The thrust of what is propelling it upwards. The forces of thrust and lift once it is going must counteract gravity and friction. Which in homemade rockets it does for a while... but it eventually falls to earth.
What will happen to the temperature of the rockets nose cone as it moves through the air?
it gets hotter the faster it goes the hotter it will get (this involves friction) or another way of saying it is: The temperature will change due to friction, the faster it goes the hotter it gets (friction is present)
What are 3 ways to overcome friction?
oil, magnets (mag lev), rockets (make sure you have an aerodynamic suit on). Also Firestorms usually do the trick.
Can an object accelarate without friction?
Yes, an object can accelerate without friction. The only thing that is needed to accelerate an object is net force acting on it should not be zero. Then the accleration of body is given by Newton's 2nd Law: F = m*a . For example Rockets in space experience no friction, but they accelerate due to force on them by the exhaust gases.
When was Rockets - Rockets album - created?
Rockets - Rockets album - was created in 1976.
How do you make a heat shield out of just tin foil and a wire grate?
Model rockets do not need heat shields, they don't move fast enough for air friction heating to be a problem.
What pro teams play in Houston?
the rockets the rockets the rockets
Where can rockets go?
rockets can go anywhere.space is where rockets can go
What are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?
The three kinds of rockets are solid fuel rockets, liquid fuel rockets, and ion powered rockets.
What is the difference between water rockets and modern rockets?
Water rockets use water and air modern rockets use thrust and oxygen.
