Which requires more fuel a rocket goin to the moon or a rocket comin from the moon?
Due to the higher gravity amount, a rocket will be pulled back when leaving earth, and pulled forward when going to earth.
Would a rocket leaving the moon surface require as great a speed or force as one leaving the earth surface?
No. There is less gravity on the moon, therefore the rocket would feel less of a pull towards it than the earth. It would be easier to leave the moon than the earth.
What stops oxygen from leaving the planet?
The gravity of the Earth and to a smaller extent the Van Allan Belt.
How do astronauts leave the earth?
astronauts leave earth by the liftoff of the space shuttle and rockets, it is called force of the rocket. The engine starts and liquid fuel comes out of the rocket and pushes them up.
Name the two forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad?
name the two forces acting on the rocket immediately after leaving the launching pad
Rocket A travels with speed 0.800c relative to the earth Rocket B passes rocket A with speed 0.500c relative to rocket A Determine the speed of rocket B relative to the earth Assume that the earth?
0.929c formula is: vbe =( vae +vba )/(1+( vae *vba )/c2 )
How long would it take to travel to the moon by rocket?
Apollo took on average 2.9 days from leaving Earth orbit to injection into Lunar orbit, and basically the same on return.
How does a rocket reenter the earth atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere is just gas, just like an airplane can get through clouds, a rocket can get through the Earth's atmosphere.
What space shuttle will you use to get to Saturn?
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.
Why does the life cycle never stops?
If it stops there will be no life in earth.
What is meant by the 'escape velocity' of a rocket leaving the earth?
There is a speed, about seven miles a second, that if reached, will allow an object to overcome the earth's gravitational pull and continue into space. Rockets don't actually need to do this speed, since their objective is usually to establish an orbit around the earth.
How does a single stage rocket get off the earth?
I have heard of a single stage rocket ever being able to escape Earth's gravity.
