Rocket engines typically use propellants that consist of a fuel and an oxidizer. Common fuels include liquid hydrogen, kerosene (RP-1), and solid rocket propellants, while oxidizers can include liquid oxygen or nitrogen tetroxide. The specific combination depends on the type of rocket and its intended mission. These propellants are essential for generating the thrust needed to propel the rocket into space.

Where is a rocket's fuel located?
A rocket's fuel is typically located in large tanks situated within the rocket's body. The fuel is stored separately from the rocket's engines and is used as propellant for thrust during launch and flight.
What fuel is used in rockets?
Rockets primarily use liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel. These are combined in the rocket's engines to produce thrust by undergoing a chemical reaction and creating high-pressure gases that are expelled through a nozzle to propel the rocket forward.
What engine is used in a rocket ship?
Rocket engines can vary, but some common types include liquid fuel engines (using liquid fuel and oxidizer) and solid fuel engines (using a solid propellant). Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, based on factors like thrust, efficiency, and complexity.
Which kind of rocket engines are used on the space shuttle and why?
Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSME) are Rocketdyne RS-24 liquid-fuel rocket engines powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Solid Rocket Boosters used during ascent are solid fuel rockets manufactured by Thiokol Corporation fueled by a mixture of ammonium perchlorate oxidizer, aluminum, an iron oxide catalyst and polymers as a binding agent.
How is the mass of the rocket change when it lits of?
The mass of the rocket decreases when it lifts off due to the expulsion of propellant (fuel) through the engines as exhaust gases. This process generates thrust, propelling the rocket upward while reducing its overall mass as fuel is consumed.
Which one od the following substances is a liquid to fuel used in rocket engine?
Liquid hydrogen is a common fuel used in rocket engines.
Which is a liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
AMMONIA
Which is the fuel used in rocket engines?
It is hydrogen and oxygen, these two gases are mainly used in rockets
Can rocket fuel be used for gas turbine engines?
There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.

What is the difference between a multistage rocket and a single-stage rocket?
A single stage rocket consists of only a single set of rocket engines and fuel containers. This assembly is used for the entire journey. A multistage rocket consists of several sets of engines and fuel containers that are used in succession. When the fuel of one stage is spent it detaches from the rocket to get rid of the weight and the next set of engines is ignited. Multistage rockets are far more efficient at getting things into space.
What substance is found in liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
gasoline along with liquid oxygen, so the fuel can burn
Why are RS-24 liquid-fuel rocket engines used in space shuttles?
The space shuttle main engines (SSME) RS 24 engines use rocketdyne liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel in the engine that is designed in such a way that the engines are reusable.
How many cars could you run on rocket fuel?
Cars have Internal Combustion Engines. You cannot use rocket fuel in this type engine.At this point there is only one car that can run on rocket fuel. NASA has an experimental BMW sedan that can run on liquid hydrogen, better known as the rocket fuel used in the space shuttles...
