Where does the oxygen come from in a rocket?
Since there is no significant amount of oxygen in outer space, the rocket has to take all the oxygen it needs with it.
Why does a rocket carry its own oxygen?
There is no air, and thus no oxygen, in outer space, so the rocket needs to bring its own oxygen to burn its fuel.
How does burning take place using the fire triangle?
the heat needs oxygen to keep burning and to light the flame the fuels need to be burnt
How do rocket can work in earth's atmosphere and outer space?
simple rocket science...the fuel tank on a space shuttle carries it's own oxygen in a separate hull NEXT to the actual fuel (hydrogen) tank which allows the fuel to burn, as there is no oxygen in the vacuum of space, and fire, of course, needs plenty of oxygen...
What is the difference in propultion between an airplane a spacecraft?
A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).
The passenger cabin fan is not working on your Honda CR-V?
Check the fuse first. Then it is probably either the motor is burnt out or the fan speed (rheostat) switch needs replacing.
What is the difference between rocket flight and airplane flight?
A plane needs air, a rocket doesn't.
What are two uses of oxygen?
two uses for oxygen can be either the obvious to breathe or you can say oxygen can be used to make the production of steel, plastics, textiles, rocket repelant it can also be used for oxygen therapy and life support in aircraft, submarines, spaceflight and diving.......... hope that helps two uses for oxygen can be either the obvious to breathe or you can say oxygen can be used to make the production of steel, plastics, textiles, rocket repelant it can also be used for oxygen therapy and life support in aircraft, submarines, spaceflight and diving.......... hope that helps
When fire needs oxygen to burn then how the fire in the rocket burns in space?
Fire does indeed need oxygen to burn in the presence of atmospheric air on Earth. However, the fire in a rocket burning in space is different from the typical combustion that occurs on Earth. The flames we see when something burns on Earth are the result of combustion involving oxygen from the surrounding air. In space, there is no atmospheric air, and therefore no free oxygen available for combustion. So, if you were to light a match or a candle in the vacuum of space, it wouldn't produce a flame as we know it on Earth. However, rockets are equipped with their own oxidizers, which are substances that provide the necessary oxygen to support combustion. The most common rocket fuel used is a combination of liquid or solid fuel and an oxidizer, such as liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid hydrogen, or solid propellants. In the case of liquid oxygen, it is stored onboard the rocket in a separate tank from the fuel. When the rocket engines are ignited, the fuel and oxidizer are mixed and ignited together in a controlled manner. This chemical reaction releases a large amount of energy, creating hot gases that are expelled through the rocket's nozzles at high speeds, providing the necessary thrust for the rocket to move forward. Since rockets carry their own oxidizers and don't rely on atmospheric oxygen, they can operate in the vacuum of space, where there is no air or atmosphere. This allows them to travel beyond Earth's atmosphere and into space.
What is wrong if your fiber optic tree motor that turns the light wheel stopped working and a little oil did not help and the light works but the color wheel does not turn?
Do you hear the motor running? If there is no sound, the motor has probably burnt out and needs to be replaced. If you do hear the motor running, you've probably stripped a gear. They can sometimes be replaced, but it might be more cost effective to replace it.
Why doesn't my heater fan work?
"burnt out"needs replacement
Where is the solid fuel rocket on a rocket?
At the very bottom is the nozzle, after that is the fuel. Depending on how big the rocket is and how much fuel it needs determines the size of the chamber
