What force pulls downwards on a rocket as it is launched into space?
the weight of the rocket
Why is wave motion doubly periodic?
Because it is periodic in space and periodic in time
What is a motion of body along a path around some point in space?
revolution
What is physics is all about?
Physics is the study of matter and its motion. (Along with the study of space and time.)
What was the name of the first rocket to bring an animal to space?
First Animal in SpaceThe first animals intentionally sent into space were fruit flies, which traveled along with corn seeds aboard a U.S.-launched V2 rocket in mid July, 1946. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the effects of radiation exposure at high altitudes. Some further V2 missions carried biological samples, including moss. A rhesus monkey called Albert became the first monkey launched on June 11, 1948; also on board a US-launched V2 rocket. Albert suffocated during the flight.The generally accepted definition of the boundary between earth's atmosphere and "space" is 100 km (62 mi.) altitude, known as the Karman line. Thus, the first "Albert," who flew on a V2 on June 11, 1948 did not fly into space, reaching an altitude of 63 km (38 mi.). Albert II flew into space on June 14, 1949, reaching an altitude of 134 km (83 mi.). Also, it is not clear from commonly available sources whether the 1946 fruit flies reached space or not.Albert II in a U.S. launched V2 became the first monkey in space on June 14, 1949 (after the failure of the original Albert's mission). He was killed on impact after a parachute failure on his return to Earth.Numerous monkeys of several species were flown by the U.S. in the 1950s and 60s.Laika, a Russian dog, and the first animal in orbit, was launched on 3 November 1957 and died a few hours later from stress and overheating resulting from a failure of the temperature control system.At least 10 more dogs were launched into space and on sub-orbital flights by the Soviets until April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Since those first historic launches, many monkeys, chimpanzees, rats, mice, frogs, spiders, cats, gorillas and even a tortoise were launched into space.Other contributors have said:The first rocket ever sent to space probably carried bacteria or some other accidental passenger. But the first animals ever intentionally sent into space were fruit flies launched aboard a V2 rocket in 1947. US scientists were studying the effects of radiation at high altitude.A rhesus monkey called Albert 1 became the first monkey launched into space on June 11, 1948; also on board a US-launched V2 rocket. These were just suborbital flights, though. The first animal to actually go into orbit was the dog Laika, launched on board the Soviet Sputnik 2 spacecraft on November 3, 1957. Unfortunately, Laika died during the flight. At least 10 more dogs were launched into space and on sub-orbital flights by the Soviets until April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Since those first historic launches, many monkeys, chimpanzees, rats, mice, frogs, spiders, cats, gorillas and even a tortoise were launched into space.
Which law explaines how rockets are launched into space?
Newton's third law explains how rockets are launched into space.
How are rockets launched into space?
by a rocket
How is the space shuttle different from rockets?
Rockets are launched from the ground, while the space shuttle is launched off the back of a jumbo jet.
What are rockets launched for?
to check out more about space
What are the rockets launched for?

How many rockets go into space each year?
billions. I've launched multiple rockets into space myself. of couse, the space they enter is the toilet.
When was the first rocket flown into space?
Rockets are not flown. They are launched and ancient China had rockets. They invented gunpowder.
How many rockets were launched since 1926?
Thousands if not millions. Not only are there space rockets, but also rockets used in research and war.
How many rockets can be launched in 3 days?
Surely at least thousands ARE launched everyday, if you include weapons and fireworks. But perhaps you are only interested in rockets that go into space.
Was Apollo 11 the first rocket to launch space?
No there were many rockets launched into space before the Apollo program.The first rockets that went into space were German made V2 rockets from the Second World War.
How many countries have launched astronauts into space?
Only 3 countries have launched a rocket and sent astronauts in to space. The United States, China, and Russia. Many other countries have sent astronauts in to space but they went on rockets belonging to other countries.
What is the US cape from which rockets are launched into space?
That place is called Cape Canaveral.
