Can liquid fuel rockets lift heavier rockets?
Heavier than What?
What are three types of rockets that power modern spacecraft?
The answer, is that there are only two types of rockets which fuel modern spacecraft. they are solid fuel rockets, and liquid fuel rockets
What are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?
The three kinds of rockets are solid fuel rockets, liquid fuel rockets, and ion powered rockets.
What are the two main types of rockets?
The two main types of rockets are, Solid Fuel and Liquid Fuel
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.
Which rocket is older solid fuel rockets or liquid fuel rockets?
The earliest rockets--i.e., those built by the Chinese as early as the 14 century--used solid fuel.
Why do rockets use liquid nitrogen?
Rockets typically use Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen for fuel. I suspect this is what you are asking. I know of no rocket that uses liquid nitrogen.
What kinds of fuel do liquid fuel rockets use?
Liquid rockets can use a single liquid, two liquids or, rarely, three fuels (more correctly called propellants). The most common type uses two propellants, generally one liquid fuel and one oxidizer -- such as liquid hydrogen (fuel) and liquid oxygen (oxidizer).
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.
Who developed fuel rockets?
Robert Goddard was the first to use liquid fuel in a rocket
Why are some rockets fueled by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen?
unlike solid fuel, liquid fueled rockets are capable of being throttled, shut down, and restarted.
Why liquid hydrogen cannot be used as a fuel?
Liquid hydrogen IS used as a fuel. It's used in rockets - and some cars.
