What is the name of the path taken by a rocket?
The trajectory.
How many newtons of force does a water bottle rocket exert at the highest altitude?
At the top of the rocket's trajectory it is motionless for a brief time and the only force acting on it is that of gravity; the rocket motor has long since spent its energy.
What flies through the air?
A plane, bird, rocket, frisbee, in fact anything that is propelled on a trajectory in air can be considered to be flying.
Where should the center of mass be located on a rocket?
near the nose of the rocket
What should be the initial velocity of a rocket if it to hit a target 1000 km away?
initial velocity would be ZERO before launch. To calculate the velocity you would need to hit that target at that distance you would need to know the mass of the rocket and the angle of launch or trajectory simplifying it
What is the name of the path taken by a rocket?
The trajectory.
What Does Thrust Staging Mean?
Thrust staging is a strategy used in rocket design where multiple rocket engines are fired in sequence to provide additional thrust during different stages of flight. This helps to improve efficiency and control of the rocket's trajectory by optimizing performance during different phases of the mission.
How do you spell trajectery?
The correct spelling is trajectory (path of a projectile, missile, or rocket).
Does the thrust of a rocket need to be created by an explosion?
no, the thrust of a rocket relies on the trajectory of the rockets tilt and overall slanted angle. The rocket is sent via a useful queef, that blasts the rocket from the platform
Why did the space and rocket center be in Huntsville?
Huntsville Alabama is the home of Redstone Arsenal (the US Army missile and rocket center), NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, and the US Space and Rocket Center.
What state is the US Space and Rocket Center loated?
The Space and Rocket Center is in Huntsville, Alabama.
How many newtons of force does a water bottle rocket exert at the highest altitude?
At the top of the rocket's trajectory it is motionless for a brief time and the only force acting on it is that of gravity; the rocket motor has long since spent its energy.
Are rocket fins necessary in outer-space?
No. Most of rocket designs nowadays don't even incorporate fins at all, even considering the portion of trajectory they travel through atmosphere.
What flies through the air?
A plane, bird, rocket, frisbee, in fact anything that is propelled on a trajectory in air can be considered to be flying.
Why center of pressure is below center of gravity?
I assume you are talking about a model rocket. Center of pressure needs to be below center of gravity in order for the rocket to fly straight. Mathematically, the rocket will tilt around the center of gravity but appear to be pushed from the center of pressure, hence the need for the center of pressure to be below the center of gravity, otherwise the rocket will just corkscrew off the pad. The fins move the center of pressure down.
What is the center of mass on a Estes rocket?
How can you find the center of mass of an object like a bottle rocket?
Where should the center of mass be located on a rocket?
near the nose of the rocket
