What was the fastest rocket speed?

The rocket that takes space shuttles into space recorded speeds f up to 40,000kmph. The space shuttles' rockets record up to 25,000kmph. There are also slower speed rockets.


What speed rocket starts?

A rocket's speed at launch is typically zero, as it starts from a stationary position on the ground. The rocket gradually accelerates as it is propelled by its engines, reaching higher speeds as it ascends into space.


How long does it take a rocket at average speed to escape earths atmosphere?

It takes around 8 minutes for a rocket to reach space and escape Earth's atmosphere. This can vary slightly depending on the specific rocket and its speed.


How does a rocket change its speed in space?

An acceleration is only possible if there is a force. In the case of a rocket, that may be gravitational forces acting on it, or it may be the reaction force of burning gases that come out of the rocket.


Why doesn't a rocket in space need to use an engine to keep moving in space?

Because there is no friction in space to slow the rocket down. Once the rocket is at its cruising speed, the engine can be switched off. Of course, that means that you have to use a different engine (pointing forwards) to slow down and stop the rocket since friction won't do it for you.


Does a rocket stay the same speed through-out its journey?

No, a rocket does not stay at the same speed throughout its journey. The rocket experiences acceleration as it moves through the atmosphere and then into space. During this acceleration phase, the rocket speeds up until it reaches its desired velocity for the remainder of its journey.


What is the speed maintained by a rocket if it is launced in outer space so it will escape the earth's gravity?

According to most sources, the minimum speed needed to escape the Earth's gravity is 11.2km/s, so a rocket would need to travel at least this fast to get into outer space.


Could you fly a rocket to Uranus?

You would need a form of extreme lubrication on the rocket to allow pleasurable passage into Uranus, as friction in space with a rocket going at that speed, without lubrication, could severely damage the rocket.


Is a space shuttle faster than a conventional rocket?

That' depends on the mission. A rocket and a space shuttle have to be in orbit and so have to fly at 8 km/s. But in certain cases, the rocket has to leave the earth (apollo, planet probe...), and then these rocket have to fly at 11 km/s. So usually the speed are the same, but sometimes, rocket are faster...


How was the first rocket launged in space?

The first "rocket" successfully launched into space was actually a V-2 missile. The first rocket-ship that was successfully launched into space used rocket engines. A rocket engine pushes the rocket forward by expelling its exhaust in the opposite direction at a high speed.


What will happen if the moving gases of a rocket have a greater mass and speed?

If the moving gases of a rocket have a greater mass and speed, the rocket will experience increased thrust, resulting in higher acceleration and velocity. This leads to improved performance and efficiency in terms of reaching its intended destination in space.


The speed at which you travel in space unaided?

The speed ranges for rockets.The speed of the rocket depends on the power of the rocket. The speed may vary from 5000 kph to 40000 kph. You can only travel at 40000 kph only if the engine is at full thrust.
