What has more power an atomic bomb or a nuclear missile?
The question you are asking is equivalent in many ways to asking "Which number is bigger 27 or 27?" as an atomic explosive and a nuclear explosive are generally considered the same. The only difference is a bomb is typically an explosive delivered by a manned airplane whereas the explosive warhead on a missile is delivered by either a rocket or an unmanned airplane called a cruise missile. Either one could be a higher yield explosive, or as I stated in the example at the beginning of this answer both could be identical.
Does the action force in a rocket engine act on the hot gases or on the rocket?
Both. The rocket is forced in one direction and the hot gasses are forced in the opposite direction.
What are the applications of water rocket?
One of the most common applications of a water rocket is to prove Newton\'s laws.
What explodes in a missile?
The warhead on a missile will blow up, at least on one so equiped. Also, there is a "destruct" charge aboard to knock the missile down if something untoward happens and controllers want to "stop" it. Oh, and the fuel may blow up in an accident of some kind.
Does a smaller water rocket go higher than a bigger one?
yes because a heavy rocket will not go high yes because a heavy rocket will not go high
Is the ICBM a rocket or missile?
An intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, is a long-range (greater than 5,500 km or 3,500 miles) ballistic missile typically designed for nuclear weapons delivery, that is, delivering one or more nuclear warheads.Source: Wikipedia.
Can you dodge a guided missile?
A friend of mine tried to dodge a RPG (rocket propelled grenade) in Vietnam. This is an aimed weapon not guided). He was unsuccessfull. One might be able to dodge a guided missile if one was fast enough and most importantly, if one saw it coming in the first place.
What type of missile was the German A4 Missile?
The German A4/V2 Missile was a Ballistic Missile. A ballistic missile is a missile that follows an sub orbital ballistic flightpath with the objective of delivering one or more warheads to a predetermined target. The missile is only guided during the relatively brief initial powered phase of flight and its course is subsequently governed by the laws of orbital mechanics and ballistics. Up to now all ballistic missiles have been propelled during powered flight by a chemical rocket engines of various types.
What is the speed of an anti-tank missile?
An anti-tank missile is accelerating from the moment the rocket motor is ignited. That means it is going faster and faster at each moment until it strikes its target or runs out of fuel. Most missile systems possess this characteristic, that is, they don't have a cited "top speed" because of the variability of the speed reached based on the distance to target. In the case of just one missile system, the Javelin (and not the surface-to-air one), the missile has a 2,500 metre range, and can get easily achieve mach numbers at longer ranges within its designed reach.
What is meant by trust?
Trust, not to be confused with thrust [Its commonly used to measure the lifting ability of a rocket or missile (the amount of 'push' it has to lift weight)] is a feeling that some one or some thing is honest and reliable.
How does one fly without wings?
That means there is no air. There is "vacuum". A rocket can fly in space without air. A rocket or rocket vehicle is a missile, aircraft or other vehicle which obtains thrust by the reaction of the rocket to the ejection of fast moving fluid from a rocket engine. Chemical rockets work by the action of hot gas produced by the combustion of the propellant against the inside of combustion chambers and expansion nozzles. This generates forces that accelerate the gas to extremely high speed and exerts a large thrust on the rocket.
Why's it called an 'Atomic Missile'?
Because it is a missile with one or more nuclear warheads.

How do you use the word missile in a sentence?

What is a universal rocket launcher?
Title:Universal aircraft rocket/missile launcher (UARML) and triple launcher adapter (TLA)Document Type and Number:United States Patent 5148734Link to this page:http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5148734.htmlAbstract:A missile launcher system for use on fixed and rotary wing aircraft to carry, arm and launch missiles and rockets. The apparatus includes a retention unit a support beam, a positive stop, an electrical interface, and a triple launcher adapter with adjustable support arms. The triple launcher adapter (TLA) is designed to accommodate three different sizes of rockets or missiles at one time. The adjustable support arms of the TLA can be unbolted and moved in or out to compensate for the various rocket and missile sizes and shapes.
What is the acronym for a ballistic missile that is capable of travelling from one continent to another?
ICBM intercontinental ballistic missile
