What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
What are the three types of rocket fuels?
Only two: solid liquid fuel
What is the part of a shuttle that uses solid fuel?
At launch, there are two solid rocket boosters on either side of the external fuel tank. They are the white rockets that are attached to the orange fuel tank.
Why did DrRobert H Goddard invent the first rocket?
Goddard did not invent the rocket, he only developed a technology that had already been invented centuries before. For example, Goddard did invent the first liquid fuel rocket and the first two-stage rocket. Goddard himself stated that, as a child, he dreamed of flying to Mars. Fortunately, he took this dream, asked the questions about what would necessary to make it true, and then tried to develop the technology to make it happen.
Which rocket is used to launch the space shuttle?
Space shuttle generally launches itself with just a boost from two solid rocket boosters(SRBs) that are dropped soon after start. The element that gives the appearance of big rocket is actually an external fuel tank.
What are two main types of rocket engines?
The two main types of rocket engines are Solid fuel rocket engines and Liquid fuel rocket engines.
What are the two types of rocket fuel?
Two major types of rocket fuel are powdered aluminum and polybutadiene-acrylontrile-acrylic acid

What two forces slow rocket down when out of fuel?
inertia and friction are the two forces that slow down a rocket
What are two elements related science?
chemical engineering and rocket science
How many types of rockets are there?
There are two main types of rocket engines: Solid fuel and liquid fuel. Liquid fuel rocket engines are usually considered significantly better than solid propulsion units, however, they are also significantly more expensive.

How do you make a homemade rocket fuel?
Take pure water and dissolve an electrical allowing material into it. Then run an electrical current through it and make sure to collect the two gases that the water separates into, hydrogen and oxygen, in separate containers. Then refrigerate the gases to a temperature of 20-15 degrees Kelvin. Both liquids can be ignited and used as rocket fuel.
Why did people start making two stage rockets?
One of the key factors in rocketry is the weight of the rocket. By designing a rocket that ejects parts of the rocket that has emptied it's fuel tanks decreases the overall weght of the rocket, extending the flight of the rocket.
When a rocket runs out of fuel what two forces slow the rocket down?
The same forces that had been trying to slow it down while it still had fuel, but were being overcome by the reaction force of the fuel burning in the engine of the rocket. Nothing has changed other than the loss of this reaction force, no new forces appeared.
When a rocket runs on fuel what two forces slow it down?
It's mass and gravitational pull.
