It varies depending on the Rocket. The Saturn V rockets that took men to the moon eventually accelerated up to 17,500 mph.

New Horizons, a space probe sent to Pluto aboard a modified Lockheed Martin Atlas V 551 rocket, achieved the highest launch velocity and so has left Earth faster than any other spacecraft to date (36,900 mph).

Why is George stephenson's Rocket called the Rocket?

because of it's speed.


What kind of force is it when rockets escape from gravity?

If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum. To speed the rocket up, currently chemical combustion is used. The burning gas goes out in one direction, thus pushing the rocket in the opposite direction.If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum.

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 long does it take to get to the moon by rocket?

it takes 13 hours to get to the moon by a rocket


What propells a rocket?

A rocket is propelled by the force of the combustion of its engine, where fuel is burned to produce a high-speed exhaust that generates thrust. This thrust pushes the rocket forward according to Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What can a force do to a rocket that is moving at steay speed?

A force can change the direction of the rocket's motion but not its speed if the force is applied perpendicular to the rocket's velocity. If the force is applied in the same direction as the rocket's motion, it can accelerate or decelerate the rocket.


The speed of a rocket in a given direction is?

determined by the rocket's thrust and the mass of the rocket. The speed of the rocket can also be influenced by external factors such as gravity and air resistance. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve enough speed to overcome these forces and reach the desired velocity.


What is the speed of a rocket that travels 25000 miles?

The problem/question can not be solved, because to calculate the speed of the rocket you need the distance done by the rocket and the time interval.


Can the weight on a rocket affect the speed?

Yes. A heavier rocket will need more energy to achieve a certain speed.

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.

Does the size of a rocket affect its speed?

The size of a rocket does not directly affect its speed. The speed of a rocket is determined by factors such as its engine power, fuel efficiency, and aerodynamics. However, a larger rocket may have more room for larger engines or additional fuel, allowing it to potentially achieve higher speeds.
