For the same reason your don't pull into your garage with the gas pedal mashed to the floor. The LM engine had a throttle. So while it did have a massive amount of power available to it, they landed with only a fraction of that power being applied.

How rocket ship take off?

A rocket ship takes off by igniting its rocket engines, which produce thrust that propels the ship upward. The force generated by the rocket engines pushes the ship off the ground and into the air, overcoming Earth's gravity. As the rocket ascends, its engines continue to provide thrust to propel it further into space.


What makes a spaceship go into the air?

A spaceship goes into the air by using thrust generated by its engines or propulsion systems. When the spaceship's engines produce enough force to overcome gravity's pull on the vehicle, it can lift off and get into the air. Additionally, the design of the spaceship's aerodynamics helps it maintain stability and control during ascent.


How do rockets life off?

Rockets launch by igniting their engines, which produce a powerful thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and lift the rocket off the ground. The thrust generated by the engines pushes the rocket upward, allowing it to break free from the pull of gravity and ascend into space. The fuel combustion and the expulsion of exhaust gases provide the force necessary for liftoff.


What is the source of electricity on board the space shuttle?

The Space Shuttle uses fuel cells to produce electricity. The hydrogen (H2) is burned with the oxygen (O2) to produce clean water (H2O). The heat is used to produce the electricity. The fresh water is then used by the crew or transfered to the International Space Station for drinking and showering. The Apollo Service Modules used a similar system for power and water.


How much thrust does a Saturn 5 rocket produce?

A Saturn V rocket could produce up to 7.5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, making it one of the most powerful rockets ever built. This immense thrust was generated by the five massive F-1 engines in the first stage of the rocket.

Why do most very small engines operate on a two-stroke cycle?

two-stroke engines can produce more power than four-stroke engines that have the same size. they can occupy small spaces and produce the desired power. they are on the other hand produce more pollution than 4-stroke engines. that's why they are limited or suitable for small engine spaced machines

Do petrol engines produce more CO than diesls?

Yes, petrol engines generally produce more carbon monoxide (CO) than diesel engines. This is primarily due to the combustion process; petrol engines often operate at lower temperatures and can produce incomplete combustion, leading to higher CO emissions. In contrast, diesel engines operate at higher temperatures and pressures, which typically results in more complete combustion and lower CO emissions. However, diesel engines tend to emit higher levels of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.
