When a rocket reaches maximum height what is its velocity?
A model rocket reaches maximum velocity at the point where the thrust from the engine matches the drag from the air, or the point where the thrust goes to zero when the fuel burns out, whichever comes first.
Why can't you fly a model rocket into a cloud?
Gravity will pull it down before the rocket can reach the height where clouds form.
How do fins stabilize a rocket?
about one-forth of the height of the size of the rocket.
What is the cut off height for most model agencies?
For fashion agencies 6'0" is the cut off/maximum height for female models and 6'2" for male models.
What would model rocket fuel be described as?
Modern model rocket fuel is a solid fuel.
What is the difference between model rockets and real rockets?
In a real rocket, there is short a time in atmosphere and the aerodynamics are less important. In a model rocket, all flight in the atmosphere and the aerodynamics are very important. In a real rocket, it has a liquid or solid rocket engine and a large propellant mass fraction. In a model rocket, it has a solid rocket engine and a small propellant mass fraction . In a real rocket, there are four forces during atmospheric flight. In a model rocket, there are four forces throughout flight. In a real rocket, there is a long powered flight . In a model rocket, it has a very short powered flight . In a real rocket, it has passive stability and active control . In a model rocket, it has passive stability and no control. In a real rocket, it has expensive materials such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy. In a model rocket, it has inexpensive materials such as balsa, cardboard, and plastic. In a real model, there is a high speed and the heating is very important. In a model rocket there is low speed and the heating is not important.
Who invented the model rocket?
He invented the rocket in 1926
Can you launch a model rocket in Chicago?
no
How long should the body of a model rocket be?
It depends on what type of rocket you are building.
What are tailfins on a model rocket used for?
To keep the rocket in straight,stable flight.
Is it still considered a model rocket if you build it yourself?
Yes, it is definitely a model rocket if you build it yourself -that's real ingenuity.
How many engines can a rocket hold?
A model rocket usually only holds one engine. The size of the engine and the amount of thrust that you get from varies. Becoming apart of a model rocket organization can help you determine the right engine for your rocket.
