What do rocket fins do on a rocket?
the fin keeps the rocket stable while the rocket flys.hope that helps! POKECARP out
How big must fins be to make a rocket stable?
the rockets on the fin are over 50 feet long and this so the rocket will be stable during flight
What keeps a rocket from falling back to the surface or moving off into space?
because of gravity. In space there is a very low gravity that makes it hard for the rocket to fall back to the surface
How does a rocket lift off the ground and what keeps a satellite in orbit?
A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward action force exert an equal but opposite reaction force on the rocket. Satellites in orbit around Earth continuously fall toward Earth, but because Earth is curved they travel around it.
Why is it so difficult to go from earth into outer space?
the large gravitational pull of the earth keeps things on the ground and what is needed in space weighs a lot including food water and rocket fuel. another thing is that rocket fuel is very expensive (about 70 bucks a gallon) it takes a lot of rocket fuel to get supplies into space

How does inertia apply to a rocket?
It either keeps it still on the ground or stable as it's moving, but I'm not Stephen Hawking...
What are tailfins on a model rocket used for?
To keep the rocket in straight,stable flight.
How big must fins be to make a rocket stable?
the rockets on the fin are over 50 feet long and this so the rocket will be stable during flight
What does a nasa rocket and a whater rocket have that is the same?
They both have fuel. They both have to be stable. And they both have a nozzle.
What keeps a rocket going after the rocket is no longer pushed?
inertia (newton's third law of motion)
Would having more fins on a bottle rocket be better?
Fins are used to help keep a rocket stable. The only way to find out if more fins will make it more stable is by testing it.
How do you make a water bottle rocket stand up?
You can make a stand, this will stable the rocket and allow it to stand up-right.
How would the rocket differ if it had smaller fins?
It would not be so stable
Does the body tube on a rocket affect it?
The body tube of a rocket is there for friction. As the rocket comes back down the body tube along with the fins are there to slow it down. Also the longer the body tube the faster your rocket will go. The body tube gives it a narrow edge.
How does a starfish keep a stable environment?
it keeps a stable environment by the sucking things on it's five points.
Disadvantage to having fins on a rocket?
It makes it more streamlined and reduces drag and it keeps it on a good flight path and a good trajectory. Also if it falls down, it keeps it stable and on the front where it will hit the floor first it will be reinforced in some sort of way. It also helps with balance and stability, the same way that a three-legged stool is more stable than something with only two legs (like people.)
