Other than rockets that use solid propellants or liquids (hydrazine, kerosene), large multi-stage rockets can be fueled with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

The frigid liquid form is used because it provides a greater volume of propellant than simply pressurized gas. The more fuel it has, the faster and higher a rocket can go.

What is the use of oxygen in the rockets?

Oxygen is used in rockets as an oxidizer to facilitate the combustion of fuel. It helps to support the chemical reaction that generates thrust by combining with the fuel to release energy. This process allows rockets to generate the necessary propulsion for launch and space travel.


Is nitrogen used for rockets?

Yes, nitrogen is commonly used as a pressurant gas in rocket propulsion systems to deliver fuel and oxidizer to the engine. Nitrogen gas helps maintain consistent pressure levels in the fuel and oxidizer tanks, allowing for efficient and controlled propulsion during the rocket's flight.


What is the name of the fuel used in rocket?

Most rockets are powered by a mix of hydrogen and oxygen. The fuel is stored in liquid form in giant tanks. Some rockets are boosted by a solid fuel booster a mixture of aluminium, oxidiser, iron and a polymer to bind all the ingreadients together.

Which of the folling elements has an atomic number of 4?

The element with an atomic number of 4 is helium. Helium is a colorless odorless tasteless non-toxic inert monatomic gas. It is the second lightest element and the second most abundant element in the universe. Helium is most commonly found on Earth as a by-product of natural gas production. It is used in a variety of applications including: Cryogenics Arc welding Pressurizing liquid-fueled rockets Gas lasers Breathing gas for divers and astronautsHelium is also used as a coolant in nuclear reactors and MRI machines. It is also used to detect leaks in vacuum systems and pressurized gas systems.
