A rocket lifts off by pushing down on the ground which then pushes the rocket up?
The propellant
What are the example of pulley?
1. Flag pole 2. crane 3. engines 4. chain fans 5. board lifts
Can the smoke from a model rocket kill you?
Probably not, but I wouldn't recommend standing too close to the rocket as it lifts off. The fumes from the rocket's engine definitely aren't very good for your lungs.
How long does a rocket take to take off?
From the time the Space Shuttle's on-board computers start the launch sequence until the time the shuttle actually lifts off the pad is about 31 seconds. About 60 seconds after lift off, the engines on the shuttle are at maximum throttle.
What is the name of the background song in the Toyota lift off commercial where some guy lifts off in a rocket?
The name of the background song in the Toyota lift off commercial where some guy lifts off in a rocket is Lift Off. This is a song which is done by Jay-Z and Kanye West.Ê
How do action reaction pairs explain how a rocket lifts off?
Rocket emits particles backward with great force. This means that there is also a force in the other direction, which pushes the rocket forward. Also apparent from conservation of momentum.
Why do rockets go up?
Rockets go up because of Newton's Third Law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Essentially, as the rocket pushes down on the rocket exhaust, the exhaust pushes back on the rocket with the same amount of force, in the opposite direction. This force is what lifts up the rocket.
When a rocket lifts off the ground the net force is in upward direction. Is the upward pushing force greater or lesser than the downward pull of gravity.?
Greater
How do you land safely on the moon?
You descend in lunar module, a special space ship designed to work in the lesser (compared to earth) gravitational pull of the moon. The LM fires it's rocket engine to slow down the descent of the craft until it lands. The LM is in two pieces. The lower part lands on the moon. The upper part fires it's engine and lifts off the moon and goes up to link with the command module orbiting the moon for the return journey back to earth.
How do action-reaction explain how a rocket lifts off?
As a rocket burns fuel, it expels exhaust gases. When the gases are forced out of the rocket, they exert an equal and opposite force on the rocket. A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward force exert an equal but opposite force on the rocket. As long as this upward pushing force, called thrust, is greater than the downward pull of gravity, there is a net force in the upward direction. As a result, the rocket accelerates upwards.-information from Prentice Hall, Science Explorer: Physical Science
What is the seat capacity of a Saturn v rocket?
The Saturn V itself has not seating capacity, it is simply a booster rocket that lifts payloads into space. It was used during the Apollo mission to lift the Apollo spacecraft into space. The Apollo spacecraft had a seating capacity of 3.
