On earth or in space? No matter where any object is it still has the same mass (minus any fuel spent getting there). It takes quantities of energy relative to the mass to change its' speed or direction.

What force pulls downwards on a rocket as it is launched into space?

Gravity is the force that pulls downwards on a rocket as it is launched into space. Gravity acts to pull the rocket back towards the Earth's surface.


What happens to the weight of a rocket when it takes off?

The mass of the rocket decreases as fuel burns.


During a rocket launch whioch is greater thrust of the rocket engine or weight of the rocket?

During a rocket launch, the thrust of the rocket engine is greater than the weight of the rocket. This is necessary for the rocket to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and lift off into space. The thrust generated pushes the rocket upwards while gravity pulls it down.


Does an object floating far in space have any mass?

It will have the same mass no matter where the object is: free floating out in space or on a planet or on a powerful rocket rapidly accelerating.What will be different is weight, which is only observed while the object is experiencing forces: free floating out in space the object has no weight, but either sitting on a planet or accelerating on a powerful rocket the object does have weight.


Why does the weight of a rocket change while going through space?

It consumes is fuel while flying (although this has little effect as space is a vacuum), the same as an aeroplanes weight changes while it is in flight


How long does it take to get up to space in a rocket?

That totally depends on the weight of the rocket, but most manned rockets take about 8 1/2 minutes to reach orbit.


How do rocket explore space?

Which must be overcome by a rockets thrust?

The payload's weight, and the weight of the rocket itself.


Why does a rocket separate in space?

A rocket separates in space to discard empty fuel tanks or stages that are no longer needed, reducing the weight of the spacecraft and allowing it to achieve higher speeds and reach its intended orbit. This process, known as staging, helps optimize fuel efficiency and performance of the rocket.
