What is the function of a propellant on a rocket?
The burning of the propellant is what (usually) provides the thrust for the rocket to get airborne and go anywhere.
How does a rocket function?
A rocket functions by burning an internal fuel source as a propellant. The thrust is then pushed through a nozzle to increase performance.
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 does Burn Time for a rocket mean?
The length of time from ignition of propellant to when all propellant has been consumed.
One of the first propellant were used how on a rocket?
get to class
A rocket lifts off by pushing down on the ground which then pushes the rocket up?
The propellant
What generates thrust that helps a rocket take off?
burning fuel (rocket propellant)
Who made and tested the world's first liquid propellant rocket?
ROBERT HUTCHING GODDARDOn 6th March 1926 he got succeeded in launching its first liquid propellant rocket.
What is a rockets delay charge?
The only use I know of for this term is in model rocketry. A model rocket's engine is made up of several layers of propellant. After the propellant, the primary layer that shoots the model rocket up, has burned out, a layer called the "delay charge" burns. This layer doesn't push the rocket, it just puts out smoke so you can see where the rocket is and creates a delay before the last layer called the "ejection charge" which pushes out the parachutes or whatever method method is used to recover the rocket. I'm adding a link to a wikipedia page on model rocketry. If there is another meaning, maybe someone who knows will come by.
What is inside a rocket?
Usually propellant, oxidizer and some form of payload.
What is a hybrid Rocket propellant?
A hybrid rocket is the rocket with a rocket motor that uses propellants in two different states of matter; one liquid or gas and one solid.
Who designed the world's first successful liquid propellant rocket?
Robert Goddard
