How much thrust does a rocket need to get to outer space?
Any amount of thrust greater than the total weight of the complete vehicle is enough to do the job, if the thrust lasts long enough and points in the right direction.
How does a rocket change its speed in space with no air?
Some people (who have not studied physics) believe that rockets work because the rocket exhaust pushes against the air, and therefore in the vacuum of space where there is no air, rockets won't work - but that is not the case. Rocket exhaust doesn't need to have air to push against. The expanding gases in the rocket's exhaust nozzle push against the rocket. The gas has its own mass and its own inertia, and the change in momentum of the exhaust gas causes an opposite change in momentum of the rocket. This can be difficult to grasp because we think of gas as being virtually weightless, but a large rocket can emit literally tons of exhaust. The fact that it is in the form of a gas doesn't change the result; mass is mass, whether solid, liquid, or gas.This is WRONG, rocket DOES work in space.From NASA"A rocket is a type of engine that pushes itself forward or upward by producing thrust. Unlike a jet engine, which draws in outside air, a rocket engine uses only the substances carried within it. As a result, a rocket can operate in outer space, where there is almost no air."How it accelerate"Rocket engines generate thrust by putting a gas under pressure. The pressure forces the gas out the end of the rocket. The gas escaping the rocket is called exhaust. As it escapes, the exhaust produces thrust according to the laws of motion developed by the English scientist Isaac Newton. Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, as the rocket pushes the exhaust backward, the exhaust pushes the rocket forward.The amount of thrust produced by a rocket depends on the momentum of the exhaust -- that is, its total amount of motion. The exhaust's momentum equals its mass (amount of matter) multiplied by the speed at which it exits the rocket. The more momentum the exhaust has, the more thrust the rocket produces. Engineers can therefore increase a rocket's thrust by increasing the mass of exhaust it produces. Alternately, they can increase the thrust by increasing the speed at which the exhaust leaves the rocket."http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/index.html
What is the total trust in gas turbin engine?
You must mean 'Thrust' . The thrust is the amount of power the jet engine supplies.
What is the strongest model rocket engines?
G80-10T; no clue what the T means, the 80 means how long it burns(sec), the 10 means how long the delay is between the end of the thrust and activation of the ejection charge(sec), used for coasting to max altitude, G means engine type, classified by the total impulse (or power) produced by rocket. This is an Estes engine that is $56.99 -Rocket Man
What is the name of the force that pushes a rocket upwards?
thrust
What is the total amount of ATP produced from cellular respiration?
32-36 ATP is produced from cellular respiration.
What is the amount of ATP produced during Aerobic respiration?
Total of 40 ATP
The total mass of a rocket is 2.9 x 10to the power of6kg. The total thrust of the first stage englines is 3.3 x 10to the power of7N What is the initial acceleration of the rocket?
According to Newton's law: F = ma Therefore: a = F / m Acceleration of rocket due to its thrust will be then a = 3.3 * 107 / 2.9 * 106 = 11.38 m/s2. If you consider rocket starting from some gravitational well(like Earth's), you have to take into account gravitational acceleration at the point(g for Earth's surface) that acts opposite(if rocket is facing away the mass centre, else it's a little more complicated) to find out net acceleration at the moment. For rocket in our example, standing upright on the surface of Earth, net acceleration would be about 11.38 - 9.81 = 1.57 m/s2.
What percent does central America contribute to the total amount of carbon dioxide produced in the world?
10%
What development made it possible to put rockets into space?
The development of rocket propellant made it possible to put rockets into space. The gases produced expand and push on a nozzle, which accelerates them until they rush out of the back of the rocket at extremely high speed, propelling the rocket upward.
When an atomic bomb explodes the total amount of matter and energy involved increases?
A very very tiny amount of matter is removed and a very large amount of energy is produced.
When energy changes forms energy is always produced?
No, energy is not produced. The total amount of energy doesn't change.
