How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
How do you make rocket launch faster?
You only have a few choices: -- reduce the total weight (mass) of the rocket and its payload -- burn fuel faster -- burn fuel at the same rate but use fuel with a greater specific impulse
Why does rocket fuel burn in space?
oxygen is added from a separate tank
How much fuel does a rocket burn during lift off?
The amount of fuel a rocket burns during liftoff depends on the specific rocket and mission. On average, a rocket like the Falcon 9 may burn around 400,000 to 700,000 gallons of fuel during liftoff. The Saturn V rocket used for the Apollo missions burned approximately 20 tons of fuel per minute during liftoff.
What needs To burn fuel in rocket needs oxidizer which comes from an?
Oxidizer in rockets typically comes from liquid oxygen (LOX), which reacts with the fuel to produce combustion and generate thrust. This combination of fuel and oxidizer allows the rocket engines to burn efficiently in the vacuum of space.
What gas is in a rocket?
Most rockets use liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer to burn fuel, such as liquid hydrogen or kerosene. This combination creates a chemical reaction that produces thrust to propel the rocket.
What substance is found in liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
gasoline along with liquid oxygen, so the fuel can burn
What is a type of motor that burns fuel without air?
An example of a motor that burns fuel without air is a solid fuel rocket motor. These motors contain both fuel and oxidizer within the fuel itself, allowing combustion to occur without the need for external air.
How does rocket fuel burn without air?
That's a very important question. To be very technical, the rocket motor burns without "air" ... outside the atmosphere ... because it takes its own oxygen along with it. There's always a chemical called an "oxidizer" somewhere in the rocket, either mixed into the fuel, or else in a separate tank.
What is a rocket igniter?
A rocket igniter is a device used to spark a controlled ignition of rocket engines. It typically uses a pyrotechnic material to generate a flame or hot gas that starts the combustion process in the rocket engine. The igniter is an essential component for launching rockets and initiating controlled propulsion.
How does the size affect the flight of a rocket?
A small rocket might go higher because a smaller rocket has less weight
Why do engineers need to keep the masses of spacecrafts as low as possible?
The heavier it is the stronger the engine has to be. And the stronger the engine the more fuel will it burn. And the more fuel it burns the more fuel has to be carried in the rocket. And the more fuel the rocket has to lift the stronger the engine has to be.
