How many pounds of air needed to burn 1 liter of diesel fuel?
It's best to work in one measurement system. Other than filling a tire [in some places], pounds isn't used to measure air, and then it's not the weight anyway.
what is the next step in the scientific method, following stating a question?
A. Gasoline is the best fuel for transportation needs. B. Smell of gasoline is very unpleasant. C. gasoline and diesel fuel release the same amount of energy as they are burned. D. Will I get better mileage with premium gasoline than with regular gasoline
What liquid is needed by most cars and trucks to run?
Gasoline is the most commonly used fuel for automobiles. Gasoline has many advantages over other fuels.
What happens when fuel such as coal or gasoline burns?
we release the potential energy to heat energy to do work
Can you start a fire in space?
Burning requires a flammable material and oxygen as well as a heat source. Rocket fuel will burn in space because it contains its own oxygen. Applying a heat source will ignite rocket fuel. A fuel such as gasoline will not burn in space as there is no oxygen present.
Why do cars run on gasoline instead of rocket fuel?
Cars run on gasoline instead of rocket fuel because gasoline is a more practical and cost-effective fuel for everyday transportation. Rocket fuel is highly combustible and expensive, designed for high-powered propulsion needed for space travel, not for the efficiency and convenience required for regular use in cars.
How much gasoline does a rocket ship use?
The amount of gasoline used by a rocket ship depends on the size and type of rocket. Rockets do not use gasoline as fuel; they typically use liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, or solid rocket propellant. The amount of propellant consumed by a rocket is based on factors such as the rocket's size, intended mission, and duration of flight.
How many pounds does one gallon of fuel weigh?
The weight of one gallon of fuel can vary depending on the type of fuel. On average, gasoline weighs around 6.3 pounds per gallon, diesel fuel around 7.1 pounds per gallon, and jet fuel around 6.8 pounds per gallon.
What substance is found in liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
gasoline along with liquid oxygen, so the fuel can burn
How many pounds of fuel to launch 1 pound into orbit?
It typically takes around 9-10 pounds of fuel to launch 1 pound of payload into orbit using a conventional rocket. This includes accounting for the weight of the rocket, fuel, and other necessary components for the launch.
What does Gasoline and rocket fuel store?
Gasoline stores chemical potential energy through the combustion of hydrocarbons. Rocket fuel stores chemical energy that is released through controlled combustion to propel rockets into space. Both fuel types transform stored energy into kinetic energy for various applications.
A rocket fired from its launching pad not only picks up speed but its acceleration also increases significantly as firing continues Why is this so?
The speed of a rocket is dependent on the thrust of the engine, and the weight of the rocket. As the engine runs at a constant thrust, the rocket accelerates - it speeds up. But it also gets LIGHTER, because the rocket fuel that it is burning was part of the original mass of the rocket. Let's say that the rocket's "dry" weight is 100,000 pounds. The weight of the fuel alone might be twice that, or 200,000 pounds. When the rocket blasts off, it is a 300,000 pound rocket, with an engine big enough to lift a 300,000 pound weight. One second later, the rocket might have burned 10,000 pounds of fuel. So the same engine that was designed to lift a 300,000 weight is now lifting only 290,000 pounds; it will accelerate even faster. Nine seconds after that, the 200,000 pound fuel load is half gone, and the whole rocket weighs only 200,000 pounds - and you get even MORE acceleration. (But half of your fuel is gone!) And this hints at the problem with rockets; if I wanted to add another 100,000 pounds of fuel, it would probably take another 100,000 pounds of rocket to handle it. (A bigger engine, and more fuel tanks!) Now I've got a 500,000 pound rocket, but only 300,000 pounds of fuel. And the more fuel I add, the bigger the engine needs to be just to lift the weight of the fuel - and now I'm getting less and less acceleration, because of the weight of the fuel! As I increase the amount of fuel, pretty soon I'm getting no advantage at all, because ALL of the extra fuel is being used up, just to lift the extra fuel!
Why do space vehicles use rocket fuel instead of regular fuel like a car?
Regular gasoline does not burn nearly fast enough for use in space vehicles.
What liquid fuel did Robert Goddard invent?
Robert Goddard invented the first liquid-fueled rocket engine in 1926. The liquid fuel he used was a combination of gasoline and liquid oxygen. This innovation paved the way for modern rocket technology.
How many tons of rocket fuel does the shuttle use during liftoff?
The Space Shuttle used approximately 1.6 million pounds (800 tons) of solid rocket fuel during liftoff. This solid rocket fuel was primarily used in the twin solid rocket boosters that provided the initial thrust to launch the shuttle into space.
Gallon of gas to pounds?
In flight planning we assume 6 pounds per gallon for fuel
How many pounds of CO2 are emitted by burning a gallon of gassoline?
Each gallon of Diesel Fuel makes 22.2 pounds of CO2
