As a rocket takes off, the gravitational attraction remains constant because gravity is a fundamental force that is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them. However, as the rocket gains altitude, the force of gravity weakens slightly due to the increase in distance from the center of the Earth, as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation.

How does a rocket ship take off from the ground?

A rocket ship takes off from the ground by igniting its engines to produce thrust. The thrust pushes the rocket upward, overcoming Earth's gravitational pull. As the rocket accelerates, it gains the speed needed to break free from the Earth's atmosphere and enter space.


Do you use the word thrust when describing the movement of an aircraft or rocket through the air?

One way is: It takes a lot of thrust to overcome the Earth's gravitational force.


What makes the path that a plant takes around the sun?

it itself makes it. their mutual gravitational forces of attraction and centrifugal force which is dependent upon the velocity of the planet determine the path


What the amount of energy it takes to lift a box might be a function of?

The amount of energy is given by the formula for gravitational potential energy:GPE = mgh That is, it depends on mass, gravity, and height.

How is the temperature of a substance related to attraction between molecules and its states?

Gases have the most kinetic energy and the least attraction exists between its molecules. Liquids have the middle amount of kinetic energy and middle attraction. Solids have the least kinetic energy and most attraction exists between its particles. The answer above isn't totally accurate, although it is mostly right. However, the attraction between molecules DOES NOT CHANGE WITH TEMPERATURE. What changes is how much energy the atoms/molecules have to overcome that attraction. The higher the temperature, the more energy the molecules have, and therefore the less the attractive force between will actually pull them together. As an example, consider a space rocket. The force of gravity on the rocket is constant. However, when the rocket is launched, the rocket's engines overcome the attractive force of gravity (by accelerating in the opposite direction) and therefore the rocket takes off. The attractive force doesn't change -- but the rocket's engines are more powerful than that attraction. In the same way, the increased temperature doesn't change the attraction, but it allows the molecules to overcome it. Other example. Image you are rolling down a hill on a bicycle. In the middle of the downhill, there is a rise. Because you have speed from going downhill, this slight uphill section doesn't stop you. However, the slight uphill is still there! It just doesn't stop you because you are already going fast. But it still affects you.


How does a rocket take off from Earth?

A rocket takes off from Earth by igniting its engines to produce thrust, which propels it upwards against the force of gravity. The thrust generated must be greater than the force of gravity in order for the rocket to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and lift off into space. Once the rocket reaches a certain speed and altitude, it can transition to its intended trajectory.


How long does it take a rocket to escape the earth's atmosphere?

It usually takes a rocket about 10-15 minutes to reach the edge of the Earth's atmosphere and officially enter outer space. Once in space, the rocket continues to accelerate to reach the necessary escape velocity of about 25,000 miles per hour to break free from Earth's gravitational pull.


How long does it takes to make a rocket?

the answer depends on the type, size, and complexity of the rocket engine.
