You should test your rocket's stability BEFORE you launch! Locate the center of gravity (CG) on your rocket and tie a long string (about 6 feet long) around the body of your rocket at the CG point. Take the other end of the string and swing it over your head around your body. If it flies straight, you're good. If it wobbles or tumbles, then you need to shift the CG more forward of the center point. If you don't know the relationship of "center of gravity" and "center point", you should read up first before you consider launching a rocket. Apogee.com is a great site to learn from. Good luck!
What else can I help you with?
Is pushing something until it stops a balanced or un balanced force?
During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion, even if it is slowing it to a stop. Balanced forces produce no change.
What happens when the force is not balanced?
When the force is not balanced, an object will accelerate in the direction of the greater force. This acceleration will continue until the forces are once again balanced or until other forces come into play. Unbalanced forces lead to changes in an object's motion.
Do balanced forces make objects move?
No, balanced forces do not make objects move. Balanced forces result in an object maintaining its state of motion or staying at rest. If the forces acting on an object are balanced, there is no net force to cause motion.
How does a rocket achieve maximum flight?
A rocket (firework) achieves maximum height once the fuel plus upward thrust runs out. Then gravity takes over and the rocket falls back to the ground.
What comic hero has rocket feet?
Wile E. Coyote once used a pair of rocket-powered shoes .
Are the forces balanced or unbalanced when you push a box of books until it is moving at 0.5 miles per second?
During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion. Balanced forces produce no change.It's kind of funny that you're pushing your box 1800 miles per hour, though! :)
Are the forces of kicking a soccer ball balanced or unbalanced?
When a soccer player kicks a ball, the forces involved are initially unbalanced. The player exerts a force on the ball, causing it to accelerate. However, once the ball is in motion, the forces become balanced as the force of the player's kick is equal and opposite to the force of air resistance and friction acting on the ball. This balanced state allows the ball to maintain a constant velocity until acted upon by another force.
How do you get out of the teamrocket uniform in Pokemon soulsilver rocket uniform in Pokemon soulsilver?
Most likely, you are working in Goldenrod city to defeat team rocket, and your answer is once you get inside the radio tower, you will try to go up a flight of stairs, and your arch enemy will walk up and recognize you. You reveal your real clothes, and you will have to start fighting team rocket again.
Does a rocket use lift?
A pure rocket uses only the reaction force generated by gases exiting the nozzle at high speed. If you meant lift in the sense of aerodynamic lift, it is not required for rocket flight, although some assemblies use it during the atmospheric portion of the flight to partially support and lift the assembly and for partial attitude control, and there are airplanes that use rockets for attitude control and propulsion at high altitudes. Once most of the atmosphere has been left behind, there is no usable aerodynamic force available. The most common use for rockets in manned flight is for rocket-assisted takeoff of powered aircraft. In those cases, the rocket thrust is used to aid acceleration and climb performance.
What is the difference between a rocket and shuttles?
A rocket goes up once and might also come down once, while a shuttle is built to be reuseable.
When an apple falls from a tree what force pulls it down what are the balanced and unbalanced forces at work?
The force that pulls the apple down is gravity. When the apple is at rest on the tree, the forces are balanced between gravity pulling the apple down and the tree branch pushing up on the apple. Once the apple falls, gravity becomes the unbalanced force causing it to accelerate towards the ground.
How high can model rockets go?
Once it has managed to escape the Earths gravitational pull and then the suns gravitational pull, a space craft will have enough speed to carry on indefinitely, so long as it does not collide with anything. If it has enough fuel and thrust to get up to this escape speed, then it wont stop, since there will be no forces to slow it down in space, even once the engines have stopped.
