The payload (the important stuff) in a multistage rocket is carried in the last stage.

The earlier stages are there only for the purpose of boosting the last stage on its

way. When each earlier stage is out of fuel, it separates and falls back to Earth.

Is the multistage rocket the same as a rocket?

a multistage rocket is a rocket. a rocket could be a multistage rocket. all multi-stage rockets are rockets, but not all rockets are multi-stage. For example the space misstions. They are all multi staged, but each stage is a rocket on its own.


What are some advantages and disadvantages of multistage sampling?

a disadvantige is that a rocket gets disposed of after each flight


What happened to to the second stage when the first stage uses up its fuel?

If things work as planned, the first stage uses up its fuel, and falls away, while the engines of the second stage ignite and push the rocket into a higher trajectory. This point in the launch sequence is called (predictably enough!) "staging", and it is at this point that things generally go terribly wrong if they are going to. You rarely hear of a rocket in which the second stage works properly and then the THIRD stage fails. When the fuel of the second stage is exhausted, then it, too, falls away while the third stage pushes the rocket into its final orbit, or off into the solar system. This "stages falling away" part is why the USA launches its rockets from Cape Canaveral in Florida; the discarded stages fall harmlessly into the Atlantic Ocean.


What is the definition of a multi-stage rocket?

A rocket that has several stages,each smaller than the last.


Example of multistage sampling?

the combinitoin of any random samples is called multistage samplinag. it is the expensive form of cluster samling. when each elements in cluster are expensive then we use multistage sampling.


Why do rockets fall to pieces?

A rocket that falls to pieces during launch is known as a multistage rocket. These rockets use two or more stages, each with their own engines and propellants. During launch, the stages are jettisoned to reduce mass and improve thrust for the remaining stages.

Difference between single stage and multi stage centrifugal pump?

You should think of a multistage pump as a series of single stage pumps all mounted on one shaft with a single large case that holds all of them. As with all centrifugal pumps, the capacity of any single stage varies with the amount of head (discharge pressure) that stage develops. More head, less flow. Less head, more flow. In any case the single stage has a limited amount of head development at any given flow rate. To produce more head, multiple stages are operated in series so that each stage's head is added to that of the previous stage. Multistage pumps can be either horizontal or vertical in configuration.


Why do rockets have stages?

they have stages because when each stage burns up all its fuel, the stage is ejected thus making the rocket lighter so it can travel further and/or higher.


How do multistage sampling applies to real life situation?

Multistage sampling is a form of cluster sampling where instead of using the entire cluster, random samples from each cluster are used. This is typically used when doing opinion polls or surveys.
