The parts that detach and fall away are the spent fuel tanks or solid booster rockets. Once they are empty, they become dead weight and need to be ejected.

What are the disadvantages of rocket launching?

Some disadvantages of rocket launching include high costs associated with building and launching rockets, potential environmental impact from rocket exhaust, and the risk of accidents or failures during launch that can result in significant loss of life and resources. Additionally, launching rockets requires a significant amount of fuel and can contribute to air pollution.


How old is the oldest rocket?

I think Chinese was the first to build a rocket it consists of an arrow with tube filled with gun powder it was about 600 A.D. The Muslim Arabs developed the rocket with the same shape we know these days it was about 1100 A.D They used rockets in their wars but it were not accurate. I saw some old paintings showing two soldiers launching rocket and some people watching them the picture was belong to the Usmanian era so it may be in 1600 A.D


What will happen to rocket parts after launching?

Components of the launch vehicle that don't leave the atmosphere fall back, either into the ocean or onto land. Components that achieve orbit remain there for a while, and then re-enter the atmosphere. Upon re-entry, they are either completely burned up in the atmosphere, or else some portion of the object survives re-entry and falls, either on land or into the sea. The pieces that achieve orbit may stay there for a long time before re-entering. That's the meaning of the term "space junk" ... several thousand objects now in earth orbit, consisting of everything from nuts and bolts to dead satellites.


Do some rocket parts come off when the go it to space?

Yes, the booster rockets. This usually happens after their fuel has been spent, and they merely drop back to earth and land in the ocean where they are retrieved and used again for another flight.


How many parts of the rocket break off as it leaves The earths atmosphere?

As a rocket ascends through the Earth's atmosphere, several components may detach at different stages. Typically, during launch, the solid rocket boosters (if present) are jettisoned after their fuel is expended. Additionally, the first stage of the rocket usually separates from the second stage once its fuel is depleted, and in some multi-stage rockets, additional stages can also break away. However, the exact number of components that break off depends on the specific rocket design and mission configuration.

Yes the US Space shuttle is re usable and the external tank and solid rocket boosters are also re used.


Can you launch a model rocket at something other than 90 degrees?

Yes, you can launch a model rocket at angles other than 90 degrees. Launching at different angles can affect the rocket's altitude, distance, and flight trajectory. However, it's important to consider safety regulations and the rocket's design, as some rockets may perform better at specific launch angles. Always ensure you have sufficient space and follow local guidelines when launching.


How many stages in a rocket engine?

It depends. Some rocket engines have a single stage, some have 3 or more. Staging allows for the overall weight of the vehicle to be reduced by dropping off parts of the rocket and continuing on with smaller rocket engines and less fuel.

What are some examples for force and acceleration?

A car accelerating when the driver presses the gas pedal - the force applied by the engine causes acceleration. A ball falling towards the ground due to gravity - the force of gravity causes the ball to accelerate downward. A rocket launching into space - the force created by the rocket engines propels the rocket forward, causing acceleration.

It can be removed but it requires a "pitman arm puller". Some auto parts stores will rent it to you.

Does the angle of launching affect how far a paper airplane flies?

Yes, the launching Angle of Attack, along with the launching force, will determine range, unless there is some outside force (such as a motor) to accommodate it.
