The chemical potential energy of a rocket is converted to what kind of energy?
The Chemical Potential Energy stored in a rocket will be converted to Kinetic Energy because the chemical fuel will launch the rocket into motion (Kinetic Energy).
The fuel used in a rocket is energy stored as?
chemical energy
What is the energy source a rocket?
momentum
What kind of energy in the fuel of a rocket engine?
potential chemical energy
What energy transfers in a rocket?
Chemical to kinetic, light, sound and thermal energy
What is the energy source for a rocket?
Rocket fuels are used. It contains chemical energy
The chemical potential energy of a rocket is converted to what kind of energy?
The Chemical Potential Energy stored in a rocket will be converted to Kinetic Energy because the chemical fuel will launch the rocket into motion (Kinetic Energy).
When rocket reenters the atmosphere its nose cone beomes hotwhere does this heat energy come from?
From the rocket's movement energy (formally called kinetic energy). As the rocket slows down through friction, its kinetic energy is converted mainly to heat energy.
The fuel used in a rocket is energy stored as?
chemical energy
What is the energy source a rocket?
momentum
If a rocket in space burns fuel consumes energy at a constant rate its velocity should increase at a constant rate ignoring the loss of mass so why is kinetic energy a function of V SQUARED?
Assuming constant acceleration, at a higher speed, the force must be applied over a larger distance to get the same change in speed. Since work = force x distance, it requires more work to get the same change in speed, once the rocket has a higher speed.In the case of the rocket, the situation is not as simple as you put it. For example, all the fuel the rocket required to change the rocket's speed, say, from 1000 m/s to 1100 m/s, must be accelerated first, using more fuel at first. Also, the exhaust gases from the rocket have kinetic energy, which depend on the rocket's current speed - when it is just starting, the exhaust gases have a higher speed, and therefore more kinetic energy. To see whether energy is conserved or not, this kinetic energy would have to be included in your calculations.

As a rocket rises its kinetic energy changes. At the time the rocket reaches its highest point most of the kinetic energy of the rocket has been and mdash?
When an object - rocket or otherwise - rises, its kinetic energy gets converted to gravitational potential energy. At its highest point, if it rises directly upwards, all the kinetic energy will be converted to gravitational potential energy. However, its movement may also have a sideways component; in that case, not all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.
Where does the energy for a rocket's liftoff come from?
Chemical energy, stored in the fuel.
What kind of energy in the fuel of a rocket engine?
potential chemical energy
When a rocket is seated on the launcher it has what energy?
It has chemical energy. The fuel is not yet burned.
What energy transfers in a rocket?
Chemical to kinetic, light, sound and thermal energy
