How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
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.
How can a rocket burn its fuel in space?
Rockets carry their own oxidizer to burn their fuel in space, as there is no oxygen available in space for combustion. The fuel and oxidizer react together in the rocket engine to produce thrust, allowing the rocket to move forward. This allows rockets to function in the vacuum of space where there is no atmospheric oxygen.
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 in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?
oxygen from the surrounding air, making it suitable for space travel where there is no atmosphere.
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.
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 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.
Can a solid fuel rocket work without oxygen?
Yes. Solid rocket fuel contains its own oxidizer.
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 needs to be burnt with oxygen in a rocket motor?
Fuel : for example - kerosene (= jet fuel), alcohol, hydrogen.
Can you use sugar as the fuel in a hybrid rocket motor?
I don't believe that any hybrid rocket engines use sugar as a fuel; while sugar will burn, the specific impulse of sugar is pretty low. However, the Ansari X-Prize winning "SpaceShipOne" used a hybrid rocket fueled by recycled rubber tires, so I suppose anything is possible.
