Which metal is used in spacecrafts to withstand high temperatures?
titanium
What fuel did the Apollo 15 use?
The fuel used by the Apollo 15 spacecraft as well as all the Apollo spacecrafts , was a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases.
Did Apollo 11 have solar cells?
None of the Apollo spacecrafts has solar cells. All of them used fuel cells and chemical batteries to provide energy.
How does a spacecraft resist burning up from extreme heat?
As a spacecraft enters the atmosphere, it will travel at a tremendously high speed. The friction from the air rubbing against the spacecraft causes lots of heat. To protect against this heat, spacecraft use heat shields. Most spacecraft use blunt, spherical, or conic heat shields which help slow the vehicle down, and dissipate the heat in the surrounding air. These heat shields are also usually made out of abalative material. Abalative materials sublimate into gas at high temperature. As a result, they absorb thermal energy but erode away as the vehicle enters the atmosphere. However modern spacecraft are being developed to have re-usable heat shields. The Space Shuttle, in particular, uses a series of thermal insulating tiles that absorb and radiate heat while preventing conduction to the shuttle's aluminum skin. These tiles can be re-used many times.
Which is the element used for making mirrors because of its reflective nature?
silver
Which element is used to absorb heat in spacecrafts?
The element is used to absorb heat in a spacecraft is helium. There are modern technologies that are being developed for the same purpose.
Why is alcohol used to absorb heat?
Alcohol does not absorb heat. It is used, because it evaporates quickly, thus drawing heat away.
What color is used to absorb heat?
Black.
What substance is used in a nuclear reactor to absorb heat released from the reactor?
In most reactors in the world, water is used to absorb heat released from the reactor.
Why is a heat filter used for photosynthesis?
A heat filter is used so that it can absorb the heat energy and hence controlling temperature as a variable
Is a coolant a substance used to absord heat?
Yes, a coolant is a substance (usually a liquid) used to absorb heat.
Does wax paper absorb heat?
Wax paper does not absorb heat. Wax paper is coated with paraffin, which does not allow heat to be absorbed. This allows wax paper to be used when cooking.
Which metal is used in spacecrafts to withstand high temperatures?
titanium
Does freezing lose heat or add heat?
Endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions emit heat. Both can be used to generate freezing depending on various chemical compounds.
Is there a camera in space?
Yes spacecrafts have cameras as they are used in weather warnings.
In terms of energy why is water used in cooling systems?
Water has a height specific heat, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat energy per kilogram.
What element is used in the control rods of nuclear reactors?
One or more elements that strongly absorb neutrons, some are:cadmiumboronhafniumetc.
