What is a rocket housing called?
The housing or structure that holds the rocket's components, such as the engine, payload, and fuel, is known as the rocket's body or airframe. It is typically cylindrical in shape, and is designed to withstand the forces and conditions experienced during launch and flight.
What is the difference between model rockets and real rockets?
In a real rocket, there is short a time in atmosphere and the aerodynamics are less important. In a model rocket, all flight in the atmosphere and the aerodynamics are very important. In a real rocket, it has a liquid or solid rocket engine and a large propellant mass fraction. In a model rocket, it has a solid rocket engine and a small propellant mass fraction . In a real rocket, there are four forces during atmospheric flight. In a model rocket, there are four forces throughout flight. In a real rocket, there is a long powered flight . In a model rocket, it has a very short powered flight . In a real rocket, it has passive stability and active control . In a model rocket, it has passive stability and no control. In a real rocket, it has expensive materials such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy. In a model rocket, it has inexpensive materials such as balsa, cardboard, and plastic. In a real model, there is a high speed and the heating is very important. In a model rocket there is low speed and the heating is not important.
What is the highest point a rocket reaches during flight?
Apogee
What two forces are present during the liftoff of a rocket?
gravity and lift
What two forces present during the liftoff of the rocket?
gravity and lift
What 2 forces are present during the liftoff of a rocket?
gravity and lift
What are 2 forces are present during liftoff of a rocket?
gravity and lift
Does the length of your rocket affect the flight of your rocket?
Indeed they do! There are a few primary forces that affect a rocket's flight, and one of those forces is drag. Aerodynamics is basically how drag affects an object in motion, and making something "more aerodynamic" means building it in such a way that it has less drag. The less drag something experiences, the faster (and in the case of model rockets, higher) it can go.
How do fins on a straw rocket affect it's flight?
Fins on a rocket affects its flight by the way they are built on the rocket
How big must fins be to make a rocket stable?
the rockets on the fin are over 50 feet long and this so the rocket will be stable during flight
What is the difference between rocket flight and airplane flight?
A plane needs air, a rocket doesn't.
What 2 forces are present during a lift off of a rocket?
gravitythrustdrag/air frictioncross wind pressure
