What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
What source of energy is used by the rocket?
Depends on the rocket. Some rockets use solid fuel, some use liquid.
What is the difference between solid rockets and liquid rockets?
There are two main types of rockets: liquid-fuel and solid-fuel. Liquid-fuel rockets consist of a fuel and oxygen (or other oxidizer) in liquid state. They are combined in a combustion chamber and ignited. The fuel flow to the engine can be controlled, the amount of thrust produced can be regulated and the engine can be turned off or on as needed. Solid-fuel rockets consist of a fuel and oxidizer that are pre-mixed in a solid form. Once the solid fuel is ignited, the resulting thrust cannot be regulated or turned off. This fuel system is simpler, safer, and cheaper-but less efficient-than that of a liquid-fuel rocket.
What is the difference between soild and liquid fuel rocket engines?
A solid fuel rocket engine is just what it sounds like. The fuel inside the rocket is completely solid. In a liquid fuel rocket the fuel is a liquid. Bottle Rockets that you can buy in many stores are fueled with Solid Fuel. Most liquid fuel rockets contain 2 different types of fuel. Once that fuel is mixed and ignited you get your thrust.
Which scientist invented rockets?
Robert H. Goddard made the first liquid fuel rocket the first solid fuel rocket was by the Chinese as early as 1000 ad
Is rocket fuel solid or liquid?
There are solid rocket fuels, and there are liquid rocket fuels.
What fuel is put into rockets?
Solid rocket fuel.
Where do some rockets get their oxygen from?
Liquid fueled rockets get it from liquid oxygen, and solid fueled rockets get it from and oxidized metal.
Do all rocket use liquid fuel?
No, they do not. The side booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle, for example, use solid fuel.
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.
What are 2 types of rocket engines?
There are two basic types of rocket engines, solid fuel and liquid fuel. NASA mostly uses liquid fuel rockets, and model rockets are usually solid fuel. There are two types of solid fuels. Composite and black powder. Composite fuels are lighter and generally have higher thrust than the black powder motors. I hope this answers your question!
How does a shuttle get into space?
i dunno what youuh onna bout Solid rocket boosters, liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen rockets. Five computer redundant voting guidance system.
