Like all ballistic missiles, the old Polaris missiles and the current Trident missiles use internal gyros for stability in flight.

Would having more fins on a bottle rocket be better?

Fins are used to help keep a rocket stable. The only way to find out if more fins will make it more stable is by testing it.


How does a guided missile turn?

Guided missiles have small fins or wings attached to them, and use them to alter the aerodynamics of the missile, in the same way that a plane with wings (and aerilons/flaps) does. The difference is that in a missile, the small fins/winglets aren't providing lift of any sort (the missile body does that, combined with the very high thrust of the motor engine), and are merely steering. So, a missile flies through the air using the same principles as an aircraft.


How would the rocket differ if it had smaller fins?

It would not be so stable


Is it better to wakeboard with fins or without?

Having fins will give you more control. Without fins you will be able to do surface 180's easier and landing tricks will be a little more forgiving.


What difference does it make to where the fins are located?

because if thay are in the wrong place the rocket will not be stable


How do you take out surfboard fins?

To remove surfboard fins, first, place the board on a stable surface with the fins facing up. Use a fin key or a screwdriver, depending on the fin type, to loosen and remove the screws securing the fins. Gently pull the fins out of their boxes or slots. If the fins require a specific removal technique, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for guidance.


How do you control missile while traveling?

Controlling a missile while traveling involves a combination of guidance systems and aerodynamic surfaces. Guidance systems, such as inertial navigation, GPS, or terminal guidance, provide real-time data to adjust the missile's trajectory. Aerodynamic surfaces, like fins or canards, facilitate directional control by altering the missile's pitch, yaw, and roll. These systems work together to ensure the missile stays on its intended path and accurately reaches its target.


Whats are the part of missile inside?

Inside a missile, key components include the guidance system, which helps direct the missile to its target; the propulsion system, typically consisting of rocket engines or motors that provide thrust; and the warhead, which contains the explosive or payload designed to cause damage. Additionally, there are control surfaces and fins for stability and maneuverability during flight. The missile may also contain sensors and electronics for communication and targeting.


How fins are helpful to fish?

Without fins, fish would not be able to move around (swim) and live.


Why are wings are used in missiles?

In order to stabilize them during their flight. Actually, that's not quite right. Missiles have movable "wings" (a better term for them is "fins"), whose primary purpose is to steer the missile onto target. Most missiles' fins are attached to the main body on a small rotating disk. The missile's guidance package sends commands to each fin, rotating the entire fin up or down slightly, to change the airflow over the fin, and thus change direction of the entire missile. Standard dumb bombs have fins which are not movable, and serve to stabilize the bomb when dropped, in the same way that feathers on an arrow stabilize it in fight. Modern "smart" bombs work identically to missiles, minus the rocket motor.


Can a fish survive without front fins?

It is possible for a fish to survive without its front fins, but it may face challenges with swimming, balance, and catching prey. The fish may need to adapt its movements and behaviors to compensate for the loss of its fins.


How are sharks hurt?

when people capture sharks they cut off their fins and then release them back into the water for dead because sharks can't swim without fins so they sink to the bottom of the ocean to drown because they have to come up for some air sometime but can't without fins
